This 1965 Fastback did not just carry Addison Lee down the road, it helped point him toward a racing career. Ford built this shape specifically for drivers who wanted more than a cruiser, and every Shelby GT350 that followed started from the same 2+2 platform. Find out what makes the 1965 Fastback such a rare and formative find, and why so few of them exist compared to the hardtop.
This 1965 Ford Mustang 2+2 Fastback rolls out with its rare factory red pony interior intact, a concours-style restoration, and a long list of original options most surviving 1965 cars lost decades ago. The team at MyRod walks through exactly what makes this fastback a reference-quality example rather than just another restored classic. Watch the full test drive to see what is actually loaded onto this car.
“Amazing V8 Sound” doesn’t specify which engine is making the noise, and with a 1969 Dodge Charger R/T, that’s a real question worth asking. Every R/T came standard with a 375-horsepower 440 Magnum, but buyers could step up to the legendary 426 Street Hemi rated at 425 horsepower. Dodge built about 20,100 Charger R/Ts that year, each one wrapped in a body that barely needed to change from 1968.
Hertz rented these Shelby Mustangs by the day back in 1966, and this Candy Apple Red GT350H is proof the “Rent-a-Racer” program wasn’t just a black-and-gold gimmick. Under the hood sits a Shelby-modified Cobra 289 making 306 horsepower, numbers no rental car company had any business handing over to weekend customers. What started as a marketing experiment between Hertz and Carroll Shelby became one of the most legendary programs in muscle car history.
This 1974 Oldsmobile wears Yellow Blaze Metallic paint tied directly to Hurst/Olds second appearance at the Indianapolis 500 that year. Fewer than 1,800 production Indy 500 Pace Car package cars were built, each offered with either a 350 or 455 cubic inch V8. Oldsmobile even supplied Delta 88 convertibles for parade duty around the same event.
V8TV’s Kevin Oeste takes viewers through six machines from The Brothers Collection that share one trait: none of them look fast. From a supercharged Studebaker Avanti to a full-size Ford Galaxie packing a factory 427, these are muscle cars built to disappear into traffic right up until the moment they don’t. Viewers have already started swapping their own sleeper stories in the comments. Watch to find out which car in the lineup earns the title of ultimate sleeper.
Turbo Mustangs, a nitrous-fed S10, a Viper, and a twin-turbo Chevy II all showed up to the same stretch of bare Texas asphalt for one wild night of no-prep street racing. Without a prepped surface to lean on, every launch came down to raw nerve and whatever grip the driver could find on his own. It’s the same chaotic, unscripted energy that turned Discovery’s Street Outlaws franchise into a national phenomenon. Here’s what a real no-prep night looks like when the cameras aren’t running the show.
1971 was Chevrolet best-ever year for truck production, and the C10 pickup was the model buyers wanted most. This street build pairs a 355 small block and roller cam with tasteful two-tone paint over a truck that already had a strong factory foundation. Here is what made the stock 1971 C10 such a good starting point in the first place.
This 1963 Chevrolet Nova looks like a clean product of the Kennedy era until you notice the LS engine, custom wheels, and aggressive stance underneath, then the comments start arguing about something else entirely. ScottieDTV’s walk-around at the 2017 World of Wheels in Birmingham caught visible cracks in the two-tone paint, sparking a debate over whether it’s a build flaw or trailer transport damage. The interior, though, drew nothing but praise. Which side of the argument would you land on?
A black-on-black 1980 Camaro Z28 with around 19,xxx original miles is a rare window into the last year Chevrolet offered real 350 V8 power in this body style. Emissions rules were reshaping the entire muscle car landscape by 1980, and this engine option barely survived the transition. Here is what made the 350 4-barrel Z28 different from the California-spec cars sitting next to it on the same showroom floor.
A 1929 Plymouth street rod that stops people cold, not for its paint but for what’s rumbling under the hood: a diesel engine nobody expects to find in a prewar hot rod. Diesel swaps are rare in this world because none of the easy bolt-in kits exist, which makes builds like this a genuine rarity on any show floor. It’s proof that the most memorable street rods aren’t always the ones running the expected combination.
Pontiac built only 697 Trans Ams in 1969, the model’s very first year on a Firebird. Of those, just 55 came with the rare Ram Air IV engine, and only 46 of those were paired with a four-speed manual like this one. That combination puts this car in one of the smallest production windows in muscle car history. It’s no wonder Ram Air IV Trans Ams from this era routinely bring six-figure money whenever one actually comes up for sale.
Pontiac only sold the 400-cubic-inch W72 with a mandatory four-speed manual in 1979, the final year for its biggest V8, and this factory-correct four-speed Trans Am backs that combination with an aluminum intake, Edelbrock carb, and long-tube headers. 1979 was also the single best sales year the Trans Am nameplate ever had. Read on to find out what made the last big-block Bird so specific.
This 1969 Mercury Cougar convertible goes all-in on triple black paint, top, and interior, powered by the brand-new 351 Windsor V8 that debuted that same year and would go on to power Fords for two more decades. Cougars have always delivered genuine Mustang performance with a nicer interior, at a lower price than the badge everyone remembers. Read on to find out why this triple-black build makes that case so well.
Dodge quietly renamed this car mid-year in 1950, rebranding a slow-selling roadster into the Sportabout to save it from cancellation, and fewer than three thousand convertibles like it left the factory that year. Its Get-Away six made a modest 103 horsepower, but period buyers were promised the thrill of the open road anyway. Read on to find out how a rebrand saved one of Dodge’s rarest postwar convertibles.
