Ryan’s Mustang produces 930 horsepower at the wheels through a fully built motor and a Procharger centrifugal supercharger, yet the Gears and Gasoline crew describes the power delivery as smoother than cars making far less. Built for both weekend driving and half-mile racing, it’s a dual-purpose build its own owner treats like nothing special. Watch to find out why that composure surprised everyone in the car.
A build team spent four years turning a 1969 Chevrolet Chevelle into a fuel-injected, six-speed pro-touring machine running technology that didn’t exist until decades after the car was built. See why fans are calling it the channel’s best reveal yet.
A 1960 Ford Falcon doesn’t look like the kind of car that inspires cult devotion, yet Regular Car Reviews’ take on Robert McNamara’s “love-letter to bean-counting” has fans quoting its closing line years later. Between an Argentine cousin racing to 600 horsepower and an Australian descendant that became a turbocharged legend, this humble compact’s story reaches far beyond its stock inline-six. One viewer’s family memory of a steering wheel coming off on the Beltway says the rest.
The Marauder X-100 packed a 360-horsepower 429 and real muscle-car numbers inside a personal luxury coupe, then vanished after one disappointing year. Its own production numbers tell a very different story than the oil-crisis explanation usually repeated online.
Chrysler had to sell nearly 2,000 street cars just to make one race car legal, and dealers could barely give them away. Here is how the Daytona and Superbird got so fast NASCAR rewrote its own rulebook to stop them.
One federal regulation from the early 1970s reshaped nearly every car built afterward, muscle cars very much included, and it had nothing to do with horsepower or emissions. It was about bumpers — and its side effects are still visible on classic car forums today.
Ford almost named the Mustang Cougar — then handed the name to Mercury, which built a 428 Cobra Jet muscle car with it. MotorWeek revisits the 1968 Cougar, the Car of the Year pony car cousin that still flies under the radar today.
This 1966 Dodge Coronet claims to be one of just seventeen 426 Hemi cars ever built — a number worth digging into before you take it at face value. Mopar’s own Hemi Coronet production records are murkier than you’d expect. Here’s what the real numbers say, and why it barely matters once you hear it run.
You find a 1966 Ford Galaxie 500 with a 390 under the hood for under ten grand, and your first instinct is to worry about the engine. That is the wrong worry. The tires are twenty years old, the battery is seven, and spider webs fill the cabin, yet owners who have been down this road say the iron under the hood is the cheap part of the story. The expensive part is everything you can see from the driver’s seat. Here is how to tell a bargain from a bottomless project before you hand over a deposit.
Rich Fairservis spent years tracking down the first car he ever owned — then handed it a modern Dodge Hellcat-derived powertrain instead of restoring its original engine. See where it sits inside one of the deepest private muscle car collections Hemmings has ever toured.
A compact economy car has no business becoming one of the most feared machines at an American drag strip, but that’s exactly what happened to the Dodge Dart once Chrysler dropped a 340 small-block — and eventually a 426 Hemi — into its lightweight chassis. Factory-built Hemi Darts ran quarter-mile times most full-size muscle cars couldn’t touch. Read on to find out how a budget compact became one of Mopar’s most unlikely performance legends.
A 1972 Ford Ranchero GT sat forgotten with ‘milkshake’ oil in its 302 until a 17-year-old named Danni asked for it. Here’s how one of Ford’s rarest car-truck hybrids got a second life — and why the Ranchero GT still divides muscle car purists.
A Michigan dealer has a driver-ready 1969 AMX listed at ,900, built around a 390 V8 with a comp cam. AMC’s forgotten two-seater once undercut the Corvette by more than ,400 and still won a Society of Automotive Engineers award for it.
Before the 426 Hemi became the engine everyone associates with the name, Dodge was quietly running two completely different cylinder head designs side by side through the 1950s — a genuine hemispherical head and a cheaper poly compromise, often wearing nearly identical badging. Telling them apart today comes down to details as small as a dimple stamped into a valve cover. Read on to find out how to actually identify which engine is under the hood.
