A dealer in Greene, Iowa is selling a 1970 Chevelle SS with the one document every collector wants — its factory build sheet. The catch: the engine, transmission, and rear gearing under the hood today have nothing to do with what that sheet describes. Here’s what changed, and why one viewer isn’t sure the swap should have happened at all.
More than 200 classic, sport, and muscle cars filled Saratoga Spa State Park for the Saratoga Automobile Museum’s 15th annual spring show. The museum itself has an unusual backstory, housed in a repurposed Georgian Revival building that once served as a New York State bottling plant. The turnout capped off a season-opening event with an audience built from the region’s century-old resort-town appeal. Read on to find out what made this year’s show stand out.
Comedian Gabriel Iglesias just showed off two 1988 Monte Carlo SS coupes on Jay Leno’s Garage, and one of them still has the factory plastic on its seats. Chevrolet built just 16,204 before retiring the G-body platform for good. Here’s why a 180-horsepower cruiser from 1988 still makes grown men weak in the knees.
At the 2026 NHRA Gatornationals in Gainesville, one Stock Eliminator racer sent the front wheels of a completely unmodified muscle car off the pavement — and NHRA’s own rulebook says it’s perfectly legal. Bobby Fazio’s coverage captures 35 minutes of staging lane interviews, in-car runs, and mid-track action from one of NHRA’s most historic stops, including a wagon several fans called the best-appearing car in the field. Watch to see why a factory suspension can throw a wheelie a wheelie-bar car would need a tech inspection for.
Only one 1969 Trans Am ever left Pontiac’s factory with a race-bred Ram Air V under its hood, built purely to test a car nobody planned to sell. From that single engineering mule to the 335-horsepower 455 HO of 1971 and the Super Duty that closed out the era in 1974, these are the rarest Trans Am engine programs collectors still track down decades later.
Ford built the third-generation “Bullet Bird” Thunderbird for only three model years, and 1963 was the last of them. Of the 63,313 built that year, just 5,913 were convertibles, powered by a 390 FE making 300 horsepower and 427 lb-ft and backed exclusively by an automatic. It was never intended to race anything, and that was entirely the point. Read on to find out what Ford was really building here.
Only 1,268 of the 15,506 Dodge Super Bees built in 1970 left the factory with the 440 Six-Pack under the hood, and this one wears a twin-loop front end Dodge used for exactly one model year before retiring it. Here is why that rare combination made 1970 the most collected Super Bee year.
Dodge just brought back a name Chrysler shelved in 1971 — and gave it 160 more horsepower than the original. The new 2026 Charger Sixpack Scat Pack swaps three carburetors for twin turbos on a 3.0-liter six, and the numbers tell a genuinely wild story.
A 2016 Ford Mustang GT 5.0 and a 2015 Dodge Challenger R/T 5.7L line up for a Los Angeles street race that reignites the manual-versus-automatic fairness debate. Modern Muscle’s host takes on car owner @chefyork_s550 across several runs, including one unscripted moment in a tunnel that’s been quoted in the comments for years. Viewers remain split on which car actually deserves the win. Watch to see how the runs play out.
Buick spent two decades disguising some of the fastest cars General Motors ever built as luxury sedans. The 1970 GSX Stage 1 hid a 510 lb-ft big block under a car built for church parking lots, and the 1987 turbocharged GNX blew past that year’s Corvette in the quarter-mile. Here’s how a brand nobody feared became one of muscle car history’s biggest sleepers.
Helsinki holds its own muscle car cruising night every month from April through October, and the July 2012 edition proves American iron has fans far outside the United States. A matte black 663-horsepower Shelby GT500 convertible shares the lot with a Bullitt tribute Mustang, a fleet of Mopar muscle, and even a 1930s Auburn Speedster. It is proof that horsepower obsession does not stop at the American border. See which car steals the show.
A 1968 Chevy Nova has traded its small-block V8 for the turbocharged straight-six out of a Toyota Supra, and the numbers make the swap impossible to dismiss: over 860 wheel horsepower, more than double what any factory Nova SS ever produced. Here’s how a 2JZ ended up under a muscle car’s hood, and whether the swap actually holds up as a daily-drivable build.
At the Barrett-Jackson Collection Showroom in Scottsdale, Lou Costabile talks with Showroom Sales Associate Mike Hoye about a 1972 Chevrolet Camaro SS finished in an uncommon Gulf Green paint over a 350 V8. 1972 marked one of the final years for the original SS badge before it disappeared from the Camaro lineup for a decade. See what makes this color and condition combination stand out.
Ford’s Mustang GTD starts near $325,000 and options push it toward $350,000, but it backs up the price with 815 horsepower, a 202-mph top speed, and a Nurburgring lap that outran a Corvette-crushing hypercar record. Forrest gets behind the wheel to see whether it actually makes sense.
A numbers-matching 1971 Plymouth ‘Cuda with the rare 440 Six Barrel engine and a four-speed manual is about to cross the auction block in Las Vegas — one of only 108 Plymouth ever built with that exact combination. Its quad headlights and shark-gill fender vents mark it as a one-year-only design, and its drivetrain still carries the original numbers. Here’s what makes this ‘Cuda worth watching when the gavel drops.
