The 2026 Ford Mustang GT Hid a Feature Called “My Mustang” — And It Might Be the Smartest Bet Ford Has Made on the V8

by Jack Harmon

Go Auto’s chapter-by-chapter walkaround of the 2026 Ford Mustang GT spends nearly twelve minutes covering everything from the trunk to the exhaust note, highlighting a digital ‘My Mustang Menu’ that lets owners customize their driving display. The review keeps the V8 engine as the car’s emotional centerpiece even as Ford adds more tech-driven personalization features. Commenters flagged smaller changes too, including a wireless charger removed for the 2025 model year and the continued absence of power-folding side mirrors. It’s a detailed look at how Ford balances muscle car identity with modern cabin expectations.

The 2025 Ford Mustang Dark Horse Has One Job: Prove the V8 Muscle Car Isn’t Dead Yet

by Jack Harmon

Redline Reviews puts the 2025 Ford Mustang Dark Horse through its paces, framing it as ‘the last traditional muscle car standing’ thanks to its 5.0-liter V8 and dedicated handling upgrades over the standard GT. The roughly $82,000 as-tested price sparked heavy debate in the comments, with some calling it out of reach for typical Mustang buyers and others — including a two-month owner — insisting it’s worth every penny. Additional comments praised the channel’s exhaust-note audio quality while criticizing the touchscreen-based climate controls in place of physical buttons.

Pontiac Barely Built the 1969 GTO Judge Ram-Air IV Convertible — Meet the 10 Rarest GTOs Ever Made

by Jack Harmon

American Legends counts down ten of the rarest Pontiac GTOs ever built, from Ram-Air IV convertibles to low-production Post-Coupe variants, framing the GTO as the car that invented the muscle car formula. The comment section pushes back hard, with owners citing firsthand rarity details the video missed entirely, including a 1967 convertible built in a run of just 56 and disputes over what the Ram-Air package actually included mechanically. Other commenters argue the list overlooked genuinely rare variants like the 1965 Hearst Edition and the GTO Royal Bobcat package.

The Real Reason So Many Muscle Cars Don’t Survive Winter Storage — And the Checklist That Actually Works

by Jack Harmon

Troy Kane, who posts new classic car videos every week at Vtwins to V8s, has spent years learning what actually kills a stored muscle car versus what just sounds like good advice. His ten-point winter storage checklist covers fuel stabilization, battery maintenance, tire protection, and rodent-proofing — the unglamorous work that decides whether your car fires up clean in spring or needs thousands in repairs. Comments on the video reveal just how many owners are already getting at least one of these steps wrong.

The 1970 Ford Torino Cobra Was Built to Fry Tires at Will — So Why Did Everyone Forget Its 429 Engine?

by Jack Harmon

A 1970 Ford Torino Cobra finished in Vermillion with satin black accents gets the spotlight in V8TV’s Muscle Car of the Week series, powered by a factory-rated 375-horsepower 429 Super Cobra Jet V8. Owners in the comments dispute that number, with one claiming his SCJ Torino made closer to 540 horsepower once drag-pack options were factored in. Period magazine tests reportedly placed its quarter-mile times alongside a 435-horsepower Corvette, despite the Torino rarely getting the same collector respect today. One owner’s story about the car even ends with a deer strike on a Wyoming highway at 100 mph.

Dodge Charger Daytona 1969 426 Hemi in Spring Green Metallic paint

by Kiril

Only seventy 1969 Dodge Charger Daytonas left the factory with a 426 Hemi under that towering rear wing, and finding one wearing a shade as bold as F6 Spring Green Metallic narrows the field even further. Built purely to win NASCAR’s aero war against Ford, the Daytona’s 18-inch nosecone and flush rear glass made it one of the strangest-looking muscle cars Detroit ever legalized for the street. Owner Tom Lembeck’s example pairs that homologation-special engineering with a factory color most buyers never got to see in person.

The 1970½ Camaro Z/28’s Small-Block Almost Beat Chevy’s Own Big Block — Here’s How a 360-HP LT-1 Did It

by Jack Harmon

This 1970½ Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 pairs a race-bred LT-1 small-block — 360 horsepower from an 11:1 compression ratio, solid mechanical cam, and 780 CFM Holley carburetor — with just 22,000 original miles and its factory Hugger Orange paint. It was also the first Z/28 ever offered with an automatic transmission. Camaro fans still argue whether this generation or the original 1967-69 cars deserve the crown. This survivor makes a strong case.

Plymouth Road Runner 1970 Superbird 426

by Kiril

Plymouth built the Superbird for one purpose: winning Richard Petty back from Ford, and NASCAR’s homologation rules forced them to build 1,920 street versions just to make the racecar legal. Only 135 of those got the top-tier 426 Hemi, conservatively rated at 425 horsepower but actually closer to 550 in reality. Owner Mike Fitzgerald bought his in 1972 and still gets emotional describing the moment he saw it returned to factory-original condition. Here’s the story behind the wing, the nosecone, and the engine underneath it.

Vaughn Gittin Jr.’s 7.1-Liter Mustang Wasn’t the Loudest Car in This Sound Reel — an 850-HP Shelby GT500 SVT Took That Crown

by Jack Harmon

Gumbal’s sound compilation lines up nine different Mustangs — from a widebody Alphamale build to Vaughn Gittin Jr.’s 7.1-liter RTR car to an 850-horsepower Shelby GT500 SVT — and lets their exhaust notes settle who’s actually loudest. The answer surprises even viewers who think they know these cars. A 2.3-liter EcoBoost even manages to steal a moment. Listen and see if you agree with the ranking.

Everyone Wrote Off the Chevy Nova as a Cheap Compact — They Missed the 396 Big Block Hiding Under the Hood

by Jack Harmon

The 1968-1974 Chevrolet Nova rode a 111-inch wheelbase with room for genuine 396 and 427 big-blocks, turning an economy car into one of the muscle car era’s best-hidden street fighters. One owner even drove his 396 Nova 3,100 miles from California to Florida in 38 hours. Once dismissed as a cheap compact, the Nova has become one of the most underrated classics you can buy.

He Spent His Own Paycheck on a Rotted 1973 AMC Javelin – Here’s Why This Overlooked Muscle Car Was Worth the Gamble

by Jack Harmon

JD paid for this decades-abandoned 1973 AMC Javelin with his own money, making it his first muscle car — and Pole Barn Garage’s build faces a scarcer parts supply than a Camaro or Charger project would. Between a running joke about losing the shop and an O’Reilly’s employee who stuck around to help for hours, this restoration pulls the whole community in. Watch to see if the engine turns over.

A Numbers-Matching Mustang Boss 429 Just Went Unsold at Mecum Indy – So Did an Olds 442 W-30 Convertible

by Jack Harmon

Nearly two dozen muscle cars, from a 442 W-30 convertible to a numbers-matching Cuda 440 Six Barrel, failed to sell at the Mecum Indy May 2026 auction — and one no-sale has nothing to do with price. A Boss 429 crossed the block repainted black over its original Grabber Blue, and viewers aren’t forgiving it. Watch to see the full list of cars that didn’t find a buyer, and why.

Everyone Remembers the Chevelle SS 454 — Almost Nobody Remembers the Olds 442 W-30 That Could Beat It

by Jack Harmon

Rare Cars makes the case, in the 49th episode of its documentary series, that the Oldsmobile 442 W30 is one of the most underrated muscle cars ever built. One commenter’s family has owned four different 442-related cars across three generations, including one still used as a daily driver. Watch to see why so many replies agree on the same answer before the video even finishes.

Europeans Call American Muscle a Joke – This 1988 Pontiac Trans Am, Built on the Same Body as KITT, Just Proved Them Wrong

by Jack Harmon

A European reviewer takes on the 1988 Pontiac Trans Am that inspired Knight Rider’s KITT, and the reply section pushes back hard, pointing to a turbocharged 1989 pace car edition that hit 0-60 in under five seconds. Between childhood nostalgia, a giant hood decal, and genuine performance numbers, viewers aren’t ready to call this car pretty poor. Watch to see both sides of the argument play out.
