2015 Muscle Car and Corvette Nationals: Amazing Cars in Mecum Auctions

by Kiril

Mecum’s 2015 Muscle Car and Corvette Nationals brought together an unusually deep field of rare survivors, including a 640-mile Plymouth Superbird, a documented Yenko Camaro, a Ford Torino King Cobra, several Hemicuda convertibles, and a one-of-eight 1969 Pontiac Trans Am convertible. Each car carries its own story of scarcity, from NASCAR homologation rules to insurance-driven production cuts. Together they show why a single weekend of bidding can shape how the wider collector market values originality and rarity.

Sharp 1969 Mercury Cougar XR7 in Yellow Paint & 428 CJ Engine Sound

by Kiril

John Strewe’s 1969 Mercury Cougar XR7 in yellow, powered by a 428 Cobra Jet, isn’t a barn find or an investment flip — it’s a second chance. Strewe owned a Cougar just like it as his first new car, sold it, and regretted that decision for years before finding this one at a Mercury car show and buying it on sight. Featured on My Car Story with Lou Costabile at the Cars & Cops Car Show in Chicago, this Cougar carries the kind of personal history that no auction house can manufacture. Watch to hear the full story from the man who lived it.

by Jack Harmon

Ford’s 1970 Torino won Motor Trend’s Car of the Year award for its comfort and styling, but hidden in the order form was a solid-lifter 429 Super Cobra Jet built to run 13-second quarter miles. Only about 1,475 buyers ever combined the Drag Pack option with the Torino Cobra trim before Ford killed the combination for 1972. Here’s the story behind one of Ford’s rarest, most overlooked muscle cars.

A Barn Sat Sealed for Decades With Six Muscle Cars Inside — The $175,000 Chevelle Everyone’s Still Arguing About

by Jack Harmon

A YouTuber talked his way into a decaying barn that had swallowed six real muscle cars since the mid-1990s, then walked out having bought one of the rarest Chevelle LS6s left on earth. But it’s the collection’s priciest car — a ‘matching-numbers’ Chevelle listed for $175,000 — that has viewers combing through every frame looking for what its paperwork isn’t saying.

Plymouth Called the GTX a ‘Gentleman’s Hot Rod’ – This 1969 Big-Block Shows Exactly Why It Earned the Name

by Jack Harmon

Plymouth sold the 1969 GTX as the muscle car for buyers who wanted power without giving up polish – a blacked-out grille, an upscale cabin, and a 375-horsepower 440 standard with no options required. Only 208 of that year’s 15,602 GTXs left the factory with the legendary 426 Hemi instead. Here’s what it takes to get one of the more common 440 survivors running exactly the way Plymouth intended.

He Paid $9,500 for a Dying 1968 Mustang — Then Gave It a Heart Transplant From a Ford Explorer

by Jack Harmon

A barely-running 1968 Mustang, bought for $9,500, gets a fuel-injected V8 heart transplant from an unlikely donor — a Ford Explorer, not another Mustang. No Bolts Left Behind compresses nine months of wrenching, a custom EFI wiring harness, and a full drivetrain overhaul into one build, and viewers are calling it the most approachable engine swap they’ve seen in years. Watch to see why the donor engine choice has over a million viewers rethinking what a budget V8 swap actually requires.

How to Restore a 1971 Plymouth ‘Cuda: Why the Steering and Brakes Come First

by Jack Harmon

You’ve found it — the right stance, the right color code, an engine that actually turns over. Before you hand over a deposit on a 1971 Plymouth ‘Cuda, though, know what you’re really buying underneath the sheet metal. The systems most likely to bite you on this car aren’t cosmetic — they’re the ones under your feet and under your hands. NHTSA has three official recalls on file for the ’71 Barracuda, and every single one touches steering or brakes. One restorer just spent an entire build episode ripping the factory K-frame, control arms, and brakes out entirely and starting over. Here’s what a buyer needs to check before signing anything.
