Meet the world’s scariest car

by Wes

CNN doesn’t usually cover classic cars, but this 1966 Shelby Cobra 427 Super Snake earned a rare mainstream feature built around its extreme rarity and a documented, unusual ownership history. Built in famously small numbers by Carroll Shelby’s shop, the Super Snake pushed the already fearsome 427 Cobra platform to its absolute limit with almost no concession to comfort. One commenter’s father sold Cobras from a 1960s Ford dealership and had stories to match. Watch to see why this one earned its nickname honestly.

Big Chief’s CROWMOD @ Lights Out 7

by Kiril

Big Chief’s new Crowmod wasn’t just a replacement for his wrecked LeMans – it was a full rebuild around a twin-turbo Pontiac engine that survived that crash, wrapped in a lighter 1968 Firebird body. Taking it straight to Lights Out meant getting a brand-new combination race-ready under serious time pressure. Here’s the story behind one of drag radial racing’s most recognizable Pontiacs.

1967 Pontiac 2+2 Convertible in Tyrol Blue with 428 Engine Start

by Wes

At the 25th Annual Indian Uprising, an all-Pontiac-only show in St. Charles, Illinois, owner Richard Larabee’s Tyrol Blue 1967 Catalina 2+2 stood out enough to take home an award. Lou Costabile records the factory 428 cold-starting on camera, while the comments fill with viewers recalling their own history with the model going back to 1967 showroom brochures. Watch to hear the big block come alive and see why this specific combination of options makes the car so desirable.

Tips on Buying a Classic Car at Auction

by Wes

Rick Schmidt and Jeff Ford head to a real auction in Raleigh, North Carolina to test whether the intimidating reputation classic car auctions have with first-time buyers actually holds up. Along the way they demonstrate a ‘little things’ philosophy: treating small overlooked details as warning signs about a car’s overall condition. One viewer says they watched the whole episode without skipping around, calling Rick’s expertise genuinely informative. Watch to see what actually happens once the bidding starts.

Challenger SRT8 vs 340 Six Pack Challenger T/A – Old vs New – 1/4 Mile – Road Test TV

by Wes

A factory 6.1 liter Challenger SRT8 ran six quarter-mile passes against a numbers-matching 1970 Challenger T/A powered by its original 340 Six Pack engine, then the drivers swapped cars for the final two runs. One viewer said the old T/A ran a 12-second pass despite missing a gear, while another swore they’d never seen the modern SRT8 run that slow. A commenter who owns both cars revealed his girlfriend was driving the new Challenger in her first-ever stick shift track session. So which car actually won?

Ford Mustang 1966 Convertible 76B Pony 289 Classic

by Kiril

This Tahoe Turquoise 1966 Ford Mustang convertible carries the 76B Pony interior package, a 225-horsepower 289 four-barrel, factory wire hubcaps, and a power top — nearly every option a 1966 convertible buyer could check. Ford sold over 72,000 Mustang convertibles that year, more than double its nearest rival. Read on to find out exactly what made the Pony interior worth the extra money.

1970 Chevelle SS396 vs Henry J “Green M&M” – 1/4 mile Nostalgic Drag Race – Road Test TV

by Wes

A 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS396 running a factory Turbo Hydramatic 400 automatic squares off against a modified 1951 Henry J nicknamed the Green M&M in this quarter mile nostalgia drag race. Kaiser-Frazer built the Henry J as a stripped-down economy car decades before drag racers discovered its featherweight unibody made it a natural straight-line weapon. Viewers praised the channel’s consistent camera work and asked for more up-close burnout footage. Does decades of muscle car engineering really beat a proper weight-to-power ratio down the strip?

Cadillac E62 1950 Street Rod “LOTACAD”

by Kiril

Built by Griffey’s Hot Rods and Restorations, the 1950 Cadillac Series 62 street rod known as LOTACAD lays low to the ground, wears chrome on chrome, carries a full custom interior by Steve Holcomb of Pro Auto Custom Interiors, and hides a modern 6.2-liter V8 making a little over 500 horsepower where Cadillac’s original 331 once lived. It can be naughty or nice, as its builders put it. Read on to see how far this build pushed past Cadillac’s 1950 engineering.

Ford Mustang – TWIN TURBO Chick DOMINATES in 8-Second MUSTANG!

by Kiril

A stock-looking late-model Mustang that pushes 1,420 horsepower and still gets driven on coffee runs sounds like a tall tale, but this Hellion Turbo build makes it real. Driven by the company owner’s wife, it runs sub-nine-second quarter miles while staying fully streetable, with no trailer required. Read on to see how a twin-turbo system can hide that much power in plain sight, and why the streetable half of the equation is the hard part.

Camaro Graveyard Rip 1967-1969

by Wes

A salvage yard in Vancouver, Washington holds rows of first-generation 1967-1969 Camaros, stacked and slowly being parted out rather than restored. Some commenters call it Camaro heaven; others insist it’s the opposite. Between debates over the best of the three body styles and stories of cars sold too cheap decades ago, this yard says a lot about what gets saved in the classic car world, and what doesn’t. Watch to see what’s actually still sitting there.

Ford Mustang 1966 Hardtop in Tahoe Turquoise

by Kiril

Mike O’Toole almost sent this 1966 Ford Mustang hardtop to the junkyard, convinced it was too far gone to save. Instead he restored it, and the Tahoe Turquoise coupe now represents one of the biggest production stories in American automotive history: the model year Ford built more than 607,000 Mustangs and rolled out its millionth example. Read on to find out how close this car came to disappearing and why the ’66 hardtop matters.

Packard Model 8 -1949 images

by Ross Mills

In the years right after World War II, Packard wasn’t just competing with Cadillac for America’s luxury car buyers — it was actually winning, with the Clipper-era lineup outselling Cadillac and LaSalle combined for a stretch. This 1949 Eight represents that high point: America’s last great straight-eight era, built the same year Packard’s total production topped 116,000 cars. It also marks the beginning of the end, since the brand still lacked the modern overhead-valve V8 that was about to reshape the entire industry.

Chevrolet Bel Air 1957 Custom in Blue Heaven Paint

by Kiril

This award-winning 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air wears a custom Blue Heaven paint job, but the real story is under the hood. Chevrolet’s rare Rochester Ramjet fuel-injected 283 made 283 horsepower in 1957 — good for one horsepower per cubic inch — and only about 1,530 Bel Airs left the factory with it. That same engine got a Chevy sedan banned from NASCAR that year. Whatever’s powering this custom, it’s chasing a one-year-only legend.

The General Lee Trying Drifting – Dodge Charger R/T Drift & SOUND!!

by Wes

An orange Dodge Charger R/T dressed in unmistakable General Lee livery does something the Dukes of Hazzard rarely showed on screen — sliding sideways through a corner instead of flying over a jump. Shot on a brand-new camcorder as the creator’s first upload, the clip pairs a genuine R/T’s engine note with real driver involvement. Watch a TV icon prove it’s more than just a stunt car.
