Tom Derych spent the mid-1970s racing a 440-powered Dart at New York National Speedway, but it wasn’t until 1989 that he found the Mopar he’d really been chasing. A Sublime Green 1970 Charger with a troubled blown 440 became the starting point for a hand-built 472-cubic-inch Hemi-headed engine. Here’s how he turned a non-running show car into the muscle car he always wanted.
Chevrolet turned pace car duty at the 1969 Indianapolis 500 into one of the most collectible RPO packages of the muscle car era. Every Z11 Camaro left the factory in the same Dover White and orange houndstooth livery, but the engine underneath varied wildly. Here’s what separated the small-block replicas from the rare big-block, four-speed pace cars true collectors still hunt for.
This is a 1966 Dodge Coronet 440, and it’s as stock as they come. We’re talking drum brakes, 14-inch steel wheels with bias ply tires and a bench seat that was made for drive-in movies. […]

Despite what a lot of listings say, Chevrolet never actually put a 454-cubic-inch big block in the Chevelle SS during the 1969 model year, that engine arrived a year later. The biggest option in ’69 was the 396, offered in three horsepower tunes topping out at 375. The ‘396/454’ label usually shows up because so many of these cars end up as 454 swap platforms. Here’s what the factory actually built versus what most of these cars are running today.
On a summer night in Union Grove, Wisconsin, a drag strip packed with thousands of racing fans became the scene of a targeted, point-blank shooting that left three men dead.

Here’s what investigators pieced together about the attack and the rivalry believed to be behind it.

A stock Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT can run the quarter mile in the low 12s to low 13s depending on the year, numbers that outrun plenty of classic muscle cars straight off the showroom floor. Push a built SRT8 with real modifications and times drop into the 10-second range, deep into purpose-built drag car territory. It’s a two-and-a-half-ton SUV doing what dedicated muscle cars were built for. Here’s what’s actually happening under the hood.

Hurst set out to build 50 of these R-Code Mustangs and only finished 16, making this Oxford White and Gold example one of the rarest modern muscle cars around. A Kenne Bell supercharger nearly doubles the stock Coyote V8’s output to a claimed 750 horsepower. It still carries the trademark Hurst shifter with the white ball that’s defined the brand for decades. Here’s what makes this particular build so hard to find.
