Twenty thousand dollars on the line, no track prep, and a field of big-tire cars at Tulsa Raceway Park’s Redemption 6.0 — Urban Hillbilly Videos has full coverage of the Big Tire class for an event where the purse was real enough to bring out machines that mean business. No-prep racing rewards skill and setup over everything else, and this coverage shows what that looks like when the stakes match the horsepower.
A shop took a tired 1968 Ford Torino fastback and rebuilt it with a stroked 427, a tubbed chassis, and air suspension – and viewers are calling it one of the best Torino restomods ever. Ford’s own 428 Cobra Jet was rated so low on paper that most experts believe the real number was closer to 400 horsepower. Here’s why this overlooked Ford muscle car is finally getting its due.
We found 6 1969 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am listings across ClassicCars.com, eBay Motors, and independent dealers — here’s what’s available right now and what the market looks like.
Ray Brownfield has owned this 1966 Mustang convertible since 1982, restoring it into a Mustang Club of America National Award Winner. Only 72,119 of the 607,568 Mustangs Ford built that year were convertibles, and national-level judging holds them to a standard most owners never attempt. Four decades of patient ownership is written into every detail, the kind of commitment most restorations do not survive.
Pontiac gets the credit for inventing the muscle car in 1964, but a 1949 Oldsmobile, a 1955 Chrysler, and a little-known 1957 Rambler were already running the same playbook more than a decade earlier. One of them was announced with an experimental fuel-injection system that no customer ever actually got to drive. A new video digs into the forgotten machines that proved the formula first.
Mike’s dad drove this Pontiac GTO home from a dealership lot back in 1969, mid-way through a stint in the Navy. Decades later, Mike taught himself to restore the car alone — engine to upholstery — and renamed its paint color after his own late-night garage sessions. Here’s how one family kept a GTO’s story running for two generations.
The Vipers gathered at this 2015 show were living on borrowed time, even if nobody knew the exact date yet. This piece looks at what made the final-generation Viper, 645 horsepower, naturally aspirated, six-speed manual, the angriest version of a car that never once used a turbo or supercharger in 26 years of production.
A narrow-body 2022 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat Redeye is a reminder of exactly what Dodge walked away from in December 2023: 797 horsepower, a supercharged Hemi V8, and a nameplate that outlasted every other pony car built on the same 2008 blueprint. Here’s what this generation’s final chapter actually drove and sounded like — and why fans still haven’t let go.
Modern muscle cars like the Hellcat twins hit numbers the original 1960s and 1970s era never touched, but they get there through supercharging and computer control instead of big cubic inches and low compression. Here’s a closer look at how Detroit’s horsepower war came back in the 2010s, and what changed in the engineering between the original muscle car boom and its modern revival.
Ford’s factory paperwork pegged the 1969 Mustang’s optional 428 Cobra Jet at a modest 335 horsepower. A Rhode Island dealership’s homemade prototype, a magazine reader campaign, and an NHRA class win before most buyers ever saw the car all told a very different story.
This 1979 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 proves the muscle car era wasn’t as dead as critics claimed. Built with a cammed 350 V8, headers, and its original four-speed manual transmission, it wears the black-and-orange color combination that defined the second-generation Z/28 at its peak. Watch the full 4K road test and tour of a survivor built during the industry’s so-called malaise era.
The 1969 AMC Javelin packed a 315-horsepower 390 V8, a Twin-Grip limited-slip differential, and Magnum 500 wheels into a scrappy pony car nobody expected to matter. Here’s what actually made AMC’s underdog worth taking seriously — engine by engine, option by option.
Chevrolet dropped Nova SS buyers down to a single 200-horsepower small block for 1972 — the same year the whole industry started measuring power differently. This resto-mod build from Raiti’s Rides shows why the compact muscle car nobody expected to matter still draws a crowd decades later.
A 1963 Plymouth Belvedere called the Asphalt Angel did not earn that nickname with paint. Under a plain mid-size hood sits Chrysler’s 426 Max Wedge, offered in 1963 at 415 or 425 horsepower with a cross-ram intake, twin Carter four-barrels and compression high enough to require race fuel. Chrysler sold these cars with documentation warning they were not intended for street use. Read on to find out why so few of them survived intact.
