This fully restored 1970 Ford F100 pickup, featured on Built VS Bought, blends vintage American muscle with a modern touch — sleek body lines, a redone interior, and the kind of attention to detail that has viewers calling it one of the most tastefully done F100 builds they’ve seen. It isn’t a patina show piece or a garage-queen trailer find. It’s a truck built to be driven, admired, and argued about in the comments. Watch to see what “Built, Not Bought” really means in practice.
A 1967 Plymouth GTX running the legendary 426 Hemi lines up against a 1970 Dodge Challenger 440 Six Pack in this quarter mile drag race from Road Test TV — two of the rarest muscle cars Mopar ever built, going head to head. The Six Pack jumps out front early, but the Hemi has a plan for the second half of the run. One viewer’s story about his own father predicted exactly how it would end. Watch to see who takes it.
A Mustang, a Camaro, and a Challenger lined up together is not just a photo, it is the same argument muscle car fans have been having since the 1960s. Ford started the pony car category almost by accident in 1964, Chevy and Dodge spent decades answering back, and the rivalry between all three is still what pushes each brand to build better cars. Here is the short history behind a fight that has never actually been settled.
Beneath the plain sheetmetal of this mid-size Plymouth sat one of the rarest engines Chrysler ever sold to the public: the 425-horsepower Street Hemi, built for NHRA stock classes and barely civilized for the street. Only 677 Belvederes were built with it in 1966, a year before the GTX name even existed to advertise what was under the hood. Buyers got forged internals, dual four-barrel carburetion, and a torque curve that demanded a reinforced rear axle. It’s the missing chapter most muscle car fans skip straight past.
The man who shaped the 1968 Dodge Charger sculpted the design between official assignments, in clay, as something closer to a personal project than a sanctioned program. It became one of the most recognizable American cars ever built, and he left Detroit shortly afterward without ever styling another production vehicle. Decades later, builders are still reinterpreting his lines in Pro Street form, which is its own kind of credit.
The 1967 Pontiac GTO got a modest styling refresh, but the real story was a single option buried on the order form: the L67 Ram Air 400, installed in just 56 convertibles out of more than 81,000 GTOs built that year. Higher-revving power, a Rochester Quadrajet carburetor, and a mid-year cylinder head change made it one of the most collectible GTOs ever built. Read on to find out what actually separated a genuine Ram Air car from an ordinary 1967 GTO.
Guy Carpenter was 19 years old in 1967, hanging around Wheeler Chevrolet and saving for a 427 Corvette he never ended up buying. What he got instead may be rarer: a 1969 Camaro Z/28 with roughly 15,000 original miles and genuine Smokey Yunick hardware still bolted under the hood. Yunick’s parts almost never left his Daytona Beach shop on anything he had not built himself. Read on for why an unrestored survivor makes those parts matter so much more.
Ford’s Model A never had a factory big-block or a quarter-mile pedigree, so why does it keep showing up on best-muscle-car lists? This entry breaks down what made 4.8 million units across nine body styles into the foundation of American hot rod culture, from fiberglass reproduction bodies to modern disc brake swaps. Read on to find out why builders have kept choosing this nearly century-old chassis since the 1930s.
A deep-sea fishing trip and a concept car with no top somehow combined to produce one of the most recognizable silhouettes in American automotive history. King Rose Archives traces the origin of the second-generation Corvette Sting Ray, and the design fight between two GM legends that decided whether you could actually see out the back window.
