This Redline review digs into the 2017 Cadillac CTS-V, a 640-horsepower sedan built around a supercharged LT4 V8 shared with the Corvette Z06 — and a car that a former Cadillac salesperson in the comments calls a genuine monster to drive. It’s American muscle wearing a suit, aimed squarely at Germany’s best. Watch the full review to see why so few people talk about it.
This 1956 Chevrolet pickup rolled into the 24th annual Auto Crusade car show wearing nearly all of its original 1956 sheet metal — just one small patch panel — under a stance and wheel package that’s already earning it awards. Commenters who know these trucks call it “pin perfect.” But according to its builders, it wasn’t made to sit still. See what a truck built to actually be driven looks like when it’s done right.
This 1949 Nash Ambassador is labeled a V-8, but Nash did not build a single factory V8 that year — the real engine was a 234-cubic-inch inline-six, with true V8 power still six years away. The bigger story is under the whole car, not the hood: 1949 was the year Nash introduced its groundbreaking unibody ‘Airflyte’ construction.
A professional appraiser puts this numbers-matching, V-code 1970 ‘Cuda through its paces on a curvy Maryland back road after a full rotisserie, frame-off restoration, and the 440 6-Barrel big block doesn’t disappoint. One detail even catches the inspector’s trained eye. See what separates a genuinely correct E-body restoration from an ordinary one, straight from someone whose job is finding the difference.
This Plymouth ‘Cuda’s quarter-mile run at a 2012 test-and-tune session ends in a rollover that shocked everyone watching, including the person holding the camera. The driver walked away, a testament to both track safety infrastructure and old-fashioned luck. See what this dramatic footage reveals about the real risks of running a vintage muscle car at full speed on a sanctioned strip.
Read the phrase 1966 Corvette with a 454 big-block and any Corvette historian is going to stop and reread it, because Chevrolet did not build a 454 until 1970. That does not make the car uninteresting; it makes it a different story than the badge suggests. The real 1966 big-block news was a brand-new 427, and the numbers behind it are worth the detour. Read on to find out what was actually available.
Dodge and the Fast and Furious franchise have been tied together since Dominic Toretto first tore the wheels off his father’s 1970 Charger. By The Fate of the Furious, that relationship had grown into a full co-branded campaign called Muscle Heaven, built around a fleet of silver-and-black Challenger SRT Demons. The timing was not accidental. Read on to find out what Dodge was actually proving with it.
Genuine 1970 Plymouth Superbirds are nearly impossible to find and even harder to afford, so this build started from a Plymouth Satellite instead and became a hand-crafted tribute complete with the aero car’s iconic nose cone and towering rear wing. Featured on Muscle Car of the Week, it lives in The Brothers Collection alongside vintage NASCAR racers and bone-stock originals. Watch to see how close a tribute build can get to the real thing.
Built specifically to represent Chrysler at the 1967 International Auto Show, this 426 Hemi-powered Dodge Charger comes from The Brothers Collection with a rear wing, hidden headlights, and a load of options that still spark debate among Mopar loyalists decades later. It’s a genuine factory showpiece, not just another restored survivor. Watch to see what made this Charger good enough to represent an entire brand.
This feature follows a two-year-long 1967 Chevy C10 build, inching toward completion while its owner watched his girlfriend’s 1941 Willys pickup rack up show trophies. The C10’s blend of clean 1967-72 styling and modern LS-engine power has made it one of the most popular restomod platforms on the market. The question of just how powerful this particular truck turned out to be remains part of its appeal.
Jay Leno almost passed on his now-famous McLaren F1 twice, calling the roughly $800,000 asking price ‘crazy’ before coming back two weeks later and buying it anyway. That car is worth north of $20 million today, and Leno has turned down offers to sell it — proof, he says, that buying a classic because you love it beats buying one purely as an investment. It’s advice that applies whether you’re shopping for a hypercar or a muscle car.
Chrysler built so few Hemi powered E-body convertibles that commonly cited production figures put the entire two-year total at roughly two dozen cars worldwide. Bob Ashton spent nearly a full year on the phone with Mopar collectors trying to get 27 of them into one room at the Muscle Car And Corvette Nationals in Rosemont, Illinois. Read on for why that gathering may never be repeated, and what makes these particular cars so nearly impossible to assemble.
The Streetkhana autocross has become a fixture of the NSRA Street Rod Nationals, turning a corner of the Kentucky Exposition Center into a timed slalom course for hot rods built decades before autocross existed. Introduced in 2016, the format tests driver skill with hairpins, switchbacks, and speed-gathering straights, awarding fastest pre-1949 and post-1949 cars. What began as an experiment has become an annual tradition.
Most 1966 Dodge Chargers were handsome fastbacks with mild V8s, four bucket seats, and hidden headlights. But one option box cost roughly 880 dollars, close to a third of the car’s base price, and only 468 buyers out of some 37,300 ever checked it. Here is what the 426 Street Hemi brought with it, why the automatic cars may be the sleeper story, and why documentation matters more than condition on these.
This 1969 Oldsmobile 442 traces its roots to a Cutlass option package that grew into a standalone muscle car chasing the GTO down the same quarter-mile. Factory variants ranged from the standard 400 V8 up to the rare, 455-powered Hurst/Olds, of which fewer than a thousand were built. Its four-barrel, four-speed, dual-exhaust formula gave the 442 its name and its reputation.
