A 6.0-liter LS truck engine doesn’t become a 6.2 with a few bolt-on parts, and this hands-on build video from Myvintageiron7512 shows exactly why, bore work, machine shop tolerances, and the same architecture GM used to build the LS3 that powers C6 Corvettes and fifth-gen Camaros. One viewer summed up the appeal simply: this is someone who clearly knows the platform inside and out. See what it actually takes to bridge the gap between a budget truck engine and genuine LS3-spec displacement.
Only 201 of these 1969 Yenko Camaros were ever built, and this one’s owner hoped it would clear $300,000 at auction. When the gavel fell at roughly $240,000, the comment section split over whether that was a fair price or a steal. Commenters also debated which of the 201 cars are truly the most desirable, and warned future buyers just how much paperwork it takes to prove a Yenko is real. Watch the sale and the debate it sparked.
Plymouth built 686 GTX convertibles for 1967, and only 17 of them carried the 426 Street Hemi, split roughly ten automatics to seven four-speeds. The $564 option brought a NASCAR-derived engine, a Dana 60 or heavy-duty 8.75 rear axle, and a maintenance schedule most owners underestimated badly. Nine out of ten GTX buyers took the 375-horsepower 440 instead, and most of them were making the right call. Read on for what a genuine Hemi GTX convertible has to prove on paper.
Car News Central counts down seven of the rarest American cars ever built, from a two-off Duesenberg SSJ capable of 140 mph to a Corvette L88 whose real horsepower figure still sparks arguments in the comments. Along the way: an eight-car Trans Am convertible run split evenly between automatics and four-speeds, and the last Studebaker fast enough to matter. Watch to see the full list.
This 1967 Dodge Charger was not built for a dealer lot — it was assembled for Dodge’s stand at the International Auto Show, loaded with options and powered by the 426 Hemi most buyers could only special-order and hope for. Now preserved in The Brothers Collection, the car still carries its factory show-car details, right down to a four-bucket-seat interior fans call one of Chrysler’s best. Watch to see what almost sixty years of careful preservation looks like up close.
This compilation stacks five of the worst dyno pulls caught on camera — cars held at redline too long, a suspiciously unconventional ‘single roller in a box’ dyno that has viewers questioning its safety, and at least one Subaru that survives purely because it was strapped down right. HighSpeedManiaNET keeps the commentary minimal and lets the footage speak. Watch the full compilation to see which car makes it through.
1966 was the single best-selling year the Pontiac GTO ever had — and it’s also the year Pontiac quietly buried one of its rarest factory engine options, a Ram Air camshaft package that replaced Tri-Power on paper but never really won buyers over. Barely 35 were built to factory spec. Here’s the story behind the GTO’s forgotten sales peak.
This 1967 Dodge Coronet R/T carries a factory badge and a nowhere-near-factory heart: a 528 cubic inch Ray Barton Hemi making more than 809 horsepower on pump gas, backed by a TorqueFlite automatic and 3.55 gears built for real street use. One viewer joked the car needed eight gas station stops just to survive filming. Behind the joke is a genuinely serious build from one of Mopar’s most respected engine shops. Watch to see what 809 pump-gas horsepower actually looks like in motion.
Only a handful of Camaros in Chevrolet history have led the field at the Indianapolis 500, and in 1969 about 3,675 buyers got to park a street version in their own driveway. Every one of them was a Dover White convertible with orange houndstooth inside, because the Z11 package left buyers almost nothing to decide. What did vary is what sat under the cowl induction hood, and that single difference is what separates a nice car from a six figure auction headline today.
Nearly five minutes long and first aired on NBC’s American Dreams to launch the redesigned 2005 Mustang, this commercial tells the story of a Marine coming home to a driveway surprise from his father. The comments reveal a twist the ad never states outright, plus a running debate over whether it even counts as a true Ford commercial rather than just a Mustang one. Even self-described Chevy loyalists admit it’s hard to dislike. Watch to see why it still gets shared more than fifteen years later.
This 1971 Dodge Challenger looks almost stock — no R/T badge, no scoop, nothing to give away what’s underneath. That’s exactly the point. Built to dodge 1971’s brutal muscle car insurance surcharges, it hides a 383 four-speed combination with a Hurst pistol-grip shifter under an unassuming exterior, and this vintage road test puts it through real acceleration and braking runs to prove the disguise. Watch to see why some of the smartest muscle car builds were the ones that never announced themselves.
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.
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 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.
Before Mopar’s High-Impact color names became legend, a handful of green paint codes only existed for a single model year, vivid enough to earn nicknames like Sublime and Sassy Grass. This piece traces where those shades came from, why some vanished within twelve months, and how a traffic-light-inspired green ended up on some of the boldest muscle cars of 1969 and 1970.
