The LeSabre name did not start as a car. It started as a jet-inspired 1951 GM Motorama show piece so popular that General Motors kept displaying it for years. By 1960 it was Buick’s entry-level full-size line, and the convertible is the version worth remembering, with returning VentiPorts, a brand-new Tri-Shield badge, and a 364 V8 that could be ordered to run on regular gas. Read on for what made 1960 a turning point for Buick.
Ford is bringing Fox Body-era styling back to the 2026 Mustang GT Premium with a new FX Appearance Package that costs just ,690. It is not only cosmetic either — larger brake rotors, four-piston fixed calipers, and a fastback-only spoiler come bundled with the retro white trim. Boston Auto Blog tested one at a Massachusetts Ford dealer, and the video’s own comment section revealed more of the spec sheet than the review did.
Velocity Restorations took a humble 1991 Mustang notchback and turned it into a 715-horsepower restomod that still looks almost stock. Here’s why the long-overlooked Fox Body was the perfect car for this treatment — and why it now costs nearly ,000.
1320video found one of the more unhinged builds on the street car scene: a Mini weighing barely 1000 pounds with a 250-horsepower Suzuki Hayabusa motorcycle engine wedged inside. Fitting two adults is described as a genuine squeeze, and the power-to-weight math puts it well past most factory muscle cars. One commenter’s verdict – fun once, horrible – says everything about what riding along is actually like. Watch to see this featherweight terror in action.
A Dodge Challenger Hellcat and Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 lined up for a rolling highway pull, the kind of real-world test that does not always agree with drag-strip time slips. The Hellcat’s 57-horsepower advantage on paper met the ZL1’s lighter chassis and quicker-spooling supercharger on the open road. Read on to see why the result depended more on speed range and gearing than on the horsepower figures alone.
The L88 427 was Chevrolet’s most brutal engine of the muscle car era, and it never once appeared on a factory Camaro order sheet. This 1968 SS/RS wears one anyway, the product of a dealer tradition that turned Corvette-only horsepower into a street-legal secret weapon. Here’s the real story behind an engine GM rated at 430 horsepower that everyone in Detroit knew made closer to 570.
A 3,770-pound BMW M2 CS just out-dragged Dodge’s newest six-cylinder Charger Scat Pack and the 670-horsepower Charger Daytona EV in a head-to-head sprint. The margin at the finish line was less than half a car length, and it had almost nothing to do with horsepower. Here’s how Hagerty’s drag race actually played out — and why the lightest car in the lineup came out on top.
The Triumph TR6’s sharp, squared-off styling looks like an all-new design, but German coachbuilder Karmann only reskinned the outgoing TR5 — the chassis, engine, and doors underneath stayed the same. Of the nearly 92,000 TR6s built through 1976, over 83,000 were exported to the US, where detuned carbureted engines made noticeably less power than the fuel-injected versions British buyers got at home. It’s a roadster built on borrowed bones that still became Triumph’s best seller.
A 1969 Chevy Nova rolled into Roadkill Garage as a bare shell — and rolled out packing more than 1,000 horsepower. Hosts David Freiburger and Steve Dulcich built the entire street/strip package from scratch, then hauled it straight to the track to see if the numbers held up. Fans are calling it one of the show’s best comebacks yet.
One word was all the original post offered about this 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air, and it might be all that needs saying. Chevrolet built these by the hundreds of thousands and got outsold by Ford that year anyway, yet it is the ’57 Chevy that ended up on every poster and in every movie. The reason comes down to tailfins, a fuel-injected small block, and one number that changed how Americans talked about engines.
A California-built 1968 Mustang fastback spent four years getting reborn as a show-winning resto-mod — new 302 small-block, four-wheel disc brakes, and an Orange Glow paint job with matching seatbelts. Automotive historian Steve Magnante walks the build, and the car’s San Jose roots tie it straight back to the Bullitt-era Mustangs that made the fastback famous.
A pair of 88-millimeter turbochargers mounted directly in the grille of a first-generation Camaro is not a subtle build choice, and it is not meant to be. Turbos that size are reserved for big-block combinations chasing four-digit power, and everything behind them has to be built to match. Read on to find out what a setup like this actually commits a builder to, and why the first-gen body keeps getting chosen for it.
One classic car owner did everything right over a long winter in the garage — then found out a stuck parking brake could end a spring drive in minutes. We break down the real storage mistakes that quietly wreck engines, tires, and brakes on classic and muscle cars, using advice from veteran UK dealer Derek Mathewson and dozens of owners who have learned the hard way.
A black cherry 1970 Chevelle LS6 carries a VIN and trim-tag date stamp that place it at the very end of that year’s production run, fueling a claim that it may be the last LS6 ever built. With 450 horsepower and 500 lb-ft from its 454 big block, it briefly out-muscled the Corvette itself. Only 4,475 were ever made.
Redline Reviews takes an unusually honest look at a 2018 Corvette Grand Sport, calling out a cabin rattle most reviewers would gloss over while still framing it as the best-handling C7 built to date. A folding infotainment screen, real automatic-transmission feedback, and a subtle silver paint job round out a walkaround that’s aged better than most Corvette content from the same era.
