Ronnie married the woman who bought this 1970 Dodge Challenger R/T brand new in April 1970. They divorced in 1978, but he kept watching the car for decades afterward, waiting for the moment she finally decided to sell. When she did, he had the first chance to buy it back. Watch the story of a marriage that ended and a car that never really left.
This head-to-head lineup pits vintage muscle — a numbers-matching Cobra Jet, a classic Hemi Charger, an old-school Camaro — against Dodge’s Hellcat, Demon, and Chevy’s ZL1 in a series of quarter-mile drag races. One matchup even needed a handicap start just to keep things fair. Which era actually wins when the light drops green? Watch the full lineup to find out.
MotorTrend paired three muscle car legends with their modern descendants — a ’69 Camaro SS396 against a 2011 Camaro SS, a ’70 Challenger against a 2011 SRT8, and a ’69 Shelby against a modern GT500 convertible — to settle whether nostalgia holds up against real engineering progress. The results aren’t as simple as newer-is-better. Watch to see which era actually wins the argument.
A 1970 Dodge Challenger RT with a numbers-matching 383 started its second life with a $50 bill of sale from a seller in prison and a title that was never transferred. What followed was a sixteen-year, one-stall-garage restoration that survived job changes, lost interest, and a race against a newborn’s due date. Read on to find out what’s under the hood now.
A 1970 Dodge Challenger R/T runs from a 1968 Dodge Charger R/T through the 1997 TV remake of Vanishing Point, in a chase Mopar fans still quote decades later: it takes a Mopar to catch a Mopar. One commenter goes further, sharing his own story of running a real 1970 Challenger 440 R/T to 120 mph on an empty highway in 1973, and what actually happened to the car’s aerodynamics at that speed. Watch the chase that keeps getting passed around on its own.
