Shelby American built just six genuine GT350 convertibles in 1966, making them among the rarest Mustangs ever produced. This car isn’t one of the factory six, but it was built from a real C-code convertible using genuine Shelby Hi-Po parts in pursuit of the same spirit. At its heart sits the 289 Hi-Po V8, reworked by Shelby to roughly 306 horsepower. Here’s what that engine — and that ambition — actually involved.
The 1970 Plymouth Superbird’s towering wing and pointed nose cone existed for one reason: NASCAR homologation rules forced Plymouth to build nearly 2,000 road-going versions just to race the car on Sunday. Buyers could option a 426 Hemi or, more often, a 440 Six Barrel that came surprisingly close to matching its performance. The whole experiment ended after a single model year. Here’s the engine breakdown and the numbers that made the Superbird’s brief run so memorable.
Ferrari built only 36 examples of the 250 GTO, and fewer still ever get driven the way this one is in seven minutes of unfiltered in-car footage. The car’s rarity and its Goodwood Tourist Trophy wins in the early 1960s have made it one of the most valuable cars in the world, with private sales reportedly reaching into the tens of millions. Here’s what makes the 250 GTO’s history — and this kind of footage — so rare.

This 1947 Chevrolet Fleetmaster leaned on prewar engineering and prewar tooling, yet Chevrolet still sold well over a quarter-million of them in a single year. Under the hood sits the 216.5-cubic-inch “Blue Flame” inline six paired with a three-speed manual — unglamorous by design, and exactly what a car-starved postwar public wanted. Here’s why a car that barely changed from 1942 became one of the era’s best sellers.
Hurricane Irma pulled the ocean itself away from parts of the Bahamas, leaving docks stranded over bare seabed and locals staring at conch shells sitting in open air. The cause wasn’t a tsunami — it was the storm’s extreme low pressure pulling water toward its own eye. The water returned within a day, but the footage remains one of the stranger reminders of what a major hurricane can do to a coastline before it even makes landfall.
The Optima Search for the Ultimate Street Car doesn’t reward the fastest car in a straight line — it rewards the one that can do everything: road course, autocross, braking, and still look sharp under show judging. Heading into a new season, the defending champion was riding a run of consecutive titles that few competitors have matched. Here’s what the format demands, and why a shop technician keeps beating the field.
James Dean’s 1955 Porsche 550 Spyder — nicknamed “Little Bastard” — carried him to his death on a California highway just days after he bought it, and its story only got stranger from there. A wave of alleged curse-related accidents followed the wrecked car on tour, and in 1960 it vanished from a sealed train car and has never resurfaced. Here’s what’s confirmed about the crash, and what’s still just legend.
The Goodguys Summer Get-Together turns the Alameda County Fairgrounds into a rolling museum of American car culture, with thousands of hot rods, customs, and muscle cars filling the grounds for one weekend. What began as a 650-car gathering in 1983 has grown into a national institution with vendor midways, live music, and vintage drag racing. Here’s how one Pleasanton parking lot became a pilgrimage site for gearheads.
Cadillac marketed the 1976 Eldorado convertible as its last-ever ragtop, capping production near 14,000 units before quietly reversing course and bringing the convertible back eight years later. The car backing up that promise carried the largest engine ever fitted to a production vehicle at the time. Here’s the story behind the marketing pitch and the numbers that made this convertible special.
A single interior photo of a GTO can be enough to pin down its model year, since Pontiac changed the dashboard, steering wheel, and switchgear details almost annually during the GTO’s first generation. The clues in this particular shot point toward the mid-1960s, when Pontiac was actively refining the car’s cabin. Here’s how enthusiasts crack cases like this one using nothing but a photo.

1939 was a quiet turning point for Ford’s flathead V8 lineup, with an updated head bolt design and the brand’s first factory four-wheel hydraulic brakes. It also marked the final year for a distinctive pointed-nose styling and several body details that never returned. Here’s what changed under the hood, and what makes 1939 the last of its kind.
