A private collection lends V8TV one of only eleven 1971 Plymouth Hemi Cuda convertibles ever built, and host Kevin finally gets the drive commenters say he has been owed for a while. Between a documented 3.5 million dollar auction result for a sibling car and a sharp-eyed viewer spotting real rust in the tailpipe, this episode of Muscle Car Of The Week turns a routine drive into something closer to an event. What does it actually feel like to finally get behind the wheel of the car everyone calls the top fish?

1971 Plymouth Barracuda Street Machine “Medusa”

by Kiril

All Speed Customs skipped the Hemi entirely on this 1971 Plymouth Barracuda, dropping a V-10 and a paddle-shift transmission into a body reworked with custom modifications, silver paint, and red accents. The build, nicknamed Medusa, stopped traffic at the 2017 Detroit Autorama with a back-seat ‘wall of sound’ audio system and a fully custom interior. One viewer said it belonged in the Louvre. See why this Cuda broke every rule a numbers-matching restoration would follow.

69 Camaro Flips After Winning A Street Race

by Wes

A 1969 Camaro had already crossed the finish line first at Cash Days, one of the most notorious street racing events ever documented, long before Street Outlaws existed, when the driver’s attempt to bring the car to a safe stop ended in a rollover instead. It’s remembered as the only crash of its kind the entire event ever produced. See exactly how a clean, winning pass turned into OG Cash Days’ most infamous moment.

FUNNY CAR TIRE SHAKE FROM BEHIND – WICKED GOPRO ANGLE!

by Wes

A GoPro Hero2 zip-tied to a wheelie bar caught something most drag strip cameras never get close enough to see: the violent tire shake of a Top Alcohol Funny Car launching at Grand Bend Motorplex. Commenters broke down the 4,000-horsepower-class physics and even spotted distorted tire plies left behind afterward. What does over 270 mph in just over five seconds actually look like from three feet away?

Shelby Cobra Drifting In The Living Room, Divorce Ensues

by Wes

A Shelby Cobra doing donuts on what looks like an office floor, filmed back in 2011, comes with a title that gives away exactly how things ended at home. Behind the joke is one of the most significant nameplates in American performance car history, Carroll Shelby’s lightweight, big-block giant-killer that’s spawned a massive replica culture since original examples became nearly unobtainable. See why this clip still finds new viewers well over a decade later.

What’s the Point of Building Cars, Anyway?

by Kiril

In January 2017, the Detroit auto show had to share the headlines with an FBI arrest, a billion-dollar penalty, and a federal Notice of Violation. Volkswagen executive Oliver Schmidt was detained at a Florida airport over Dieselgate, Takata agreed to pay $1 billion for its deadly airbag inflators, and the EPA accused Fiat Chrysler of undisclosed emissions software on roughly 104,000 diesel trucks and SUVs. Why should muscle car fans care about any of it? Read on for what those three scandals say about the industry that builds the cars we love.

Ford Galaxie 500-1964 images

by Ross Mills

In 1964, Ford squeezed a race-bred 427 V8 into the Galaxie 500, and NASCAR promptly banned the racing version as “too exotic” before it could dominate a single superspeedway. Only 3,140 R-code Galaxies were built that year, and just 76 are known to survive today. Here’s the story behind Ford’s short-lived big-block gamble and the handful of survivors still turning heads.

Chrysler Imperial 1969-1973 G4

by Ross Mills

Chrysler’s Imperial spent 1969 through 1973 as the longest postwar personal luxury car short of a limousine, and it hid some genuinely strange engineering under all that sheet metal, including the first four-wheel anti-lock braking system offered on an American car and a vinyl roof that mysteriously faded into a purple paisley pattern. The G4 Imperial is far more interesting than its sales figures suggest.

Pontiac Bonneville 1960 Convertible

by Kiril

George Hansen chased a teenage memory of riding in a 1960 Pontiac Bonneville convertible for decades before finally landing one — Pontiac’s most expensive 1960 model, with just over 17,000 built. Read on to find out what made the wait worth it.

50’s-70’s American Street Racers. Where are they now?

by Pat C

From the mid-1950s through the 1970s, street racers ruled the boulevard, the drive-in, and the local dragstrip, marking their best times in shoe polish on the windshield for the whole school to see. Crashes, license suspensions, and new laws eventually ended the era, but a surprising number of cars survived, quietly passed down to children and grandchildren who still race them today. Read on to find out where this culture actually played out.

Dodge Super Bee 1970 440 Six Pack 4 Speed in Purple

by Kiril

This 1970 Dodge Super Bee pairs a rare 440 Six Pack — ordered by fewer than 1,270 buyers that year — with a Hurst Pistol Grip four-speed and a two-year, showroom-condition restoration. Read on to find out just how rare this exact combination really was.

The 1969 Camaro SS Engine Bay That Explains 243,085 Sales

by Kiril

Chevrolet redesigned nearly every panel on the 1969 Camaro and still pushed production to 243,085 units, the highest the first generation would ever see, thanks in part to an SS lineup offering four genuinely different engines — plus a separate, non-SS COPO 427 special order for buyers willing to skip the badge entirely. Read on to find out what’s likely hiding under this hood.
