A Cars and Coffee meet in Oklahoma City brought out factory-stock and modified muscle cars alike, from a black-painted 396-style Camaro to a ’68 ‘Cuda most viewers couldn’t stop talking about. Buried in the footage is a Yenko Nova, one of only 37 built and seven known to survive today. Four minutes of tire smoke and drive-bys hide more automotive history than most viewers realized. Watch to spot it yourself.
The RestoMods team spent two years turning a clean 1969 Chevelle into their 22nd giveaway build — and this one went further than most, with a supercharged 427, a six-speed twin-disc manual, and Wilwood brakes built for something twice its weight. Whoever wins it can take the car or $100,000 in cash instead. Watch to see what two years and no shortcuts actually produces.
NR Classics fires up a numbers-matching 1967 Shelby GT500 Fastback, but the engine growling under that fiberglass hood is not the one Shelby’s own sales brochure promised buyers that year. The real story behind the missing Le Mans-bred 427 explains why every production GT500 got a different engine instead — and why nobody who owns one seems to mind.
A twin-turbo, supercharged ‘Vicious Mustang 2.0’ claiming 1,003 wheel horsepower headlines this car show sound compilation from 97robin997, but according to the person who filmed it, that Mustang wasn’t even the loudest car to roll through the lot. The footage also captures a Chevelle SS, a 1967 Eleanor-spec Mustang, and a 1951 Mercury coupe running a modern LS3 V8. Watch to hear which build actually stole the show.
Jay Leno sits down with AMC historian Mark Fletcher and his 1970 Javelin Mark Donohue Edition — a homologation special AMC built exactly 2,501 of, one more than the racing rules required. Fletcher’s own philosophy on car ownership, ‘I’m not collecting trophies, I’m collecting smiles,’ has become one of the most quoted lines in the show’s history. Watch the full conversation above.
An amateur clip of a 1969 Boss 429 leaving a car show it just won has racked up over a decade of replays, with commenters returning specifically to hear its rough, high-cam idle one more time. Ford built the Boss 429 purely to homologate its 429 engine for NASCAR, reshaping the Mustang’s front end just to fit it. Add American flags and a nuclear plant in the background, and it’s become an unlikely, enduring favorite.
Lee bought a burned-out Dodge Demon at a Las Vegas salvage auction with no idea what he was getting into — then decided to give it something Dodge never offered on any Demon: a manual transmission. The full build video covers every setback along the way, from fire damage to the wiring fights that came with it. The ScrapLife family documents the whole thing in detail.
This 1972 Ford Gran Torino Sport arrived during the one year Ford dared to redesign the Torino from the ground up, then walked the styling back within twelve months. Under the hood sits a 351 Cobra Jet, a Cleveland-block V8 carrying real Boss 351 lineage. Here’s why this specific model year stands apart from every Torino before or after it.
A supercharged Camaro ZL1, a Hellcat, a Shelby GT500, a Scat Pack, and a naturally aspirated Mustang GT lining up for a straight-line shootout is about as good as modern muscle gets. The forced-induction cars post the eye-catching times, with the ZL1 dipping into the 9s and the Hellcat and GT500 not far behind. But the Scat Pack and the Mustang GT, both running without a supercharger, close the gap by more than the horsepower numbers say they should. That’s the real story here.
A custom-built 1955 Ford Fairlane solves the problem of reverse gear in the most literal way possible: it has two front ends welded together, no rear end at all. Underneath the stunt is the nameplate Ford built its entire mid-1950s comeback around, the car that finally beat Chevrolet to the sales crown in 1957. Read on to find out how a serious piece of Ford history became a rolling car-show punchline.
Filmed in Dallas, Texas, this 1969 Camaro SS 396 carries the rare X66 cowl tag code — a 375-horsepower L78 big-block paired with power steering and power brakes, but deliberately no factory tachometer or gauge package. samspace81’s detailed walkaround catalogues exactly the kind of build-sheet specifics collectors chase decades later. Watch to hear why one commenter says they could listen to that L78 idle for hours.
Riding along in a numbers-matching 426 Hemi ‘Cuda convertible is rare enough on its own. Finding one that also left the factory with a 4-speed manual and its original Pistol Grip Hurst shifter narrows the field to almost nothing. See what it takes to verify a car this scarce, and what the experience is actually like from the passenger seat.
David Freiburger and Steve Dulcich built The Red Duster, a budget 1971 Plymouth Duster with a 360 and a four-speed, on Roadkill Garage — then Freiburger hit the road to visit Dulcich once the wrenching wrapped up. A 2023 Dodge Challenger Scat Pack giveaway rides along with the build. It’s a low-buck muscle car with a surprisingly high-value payoff.
From the curb, this 1948 Chevy Fleetmaster Coupe looks completely factory-correct — until the test drive reveals a fuel-injected drivetrain and overdrive transmission hiding under period-correct sheet metal. MyRod.com’s resto-mod keeps the postwar Chevy’s original silhouette fully intact while modernizing everything a daily driver would actually notice, drawing praise from commenters for restraint rather than the dramatic transformation resto-mods usually chase. Watch to see just how convincing the disguise really is.
At the 2026 NHRA Rocky Mountain Nationals in Edmonton, the 3,500-horsepower Yeti Chevelle went head-to-head with Mike Gondziola’s Terminator and Sander Spelt’s Bunker Junker through a full weekend of Pro Modified eliminations. The coverage runs from Thursday test-and-tune through Saturday’s final round. It’s proof that regional Pro Mod racing delivers just as much spectacle as any national event.
