This numbers-matching-caliber 1970 Dodge Challenger R/T meets a rough end in the original 1974 Gone in 60 Seconds, towed and crushed by a period-correct Ford F-350 wrecker for a movie stunt. VIN research confirms it was genuinely a 1970 car dressed up with later clips to look newer on screen. See why this brief scene still sparks debate among Mopar collectors decades later.
This vintage road test puts the 1969 AMC AMX through its paces exactly as period buyers would have seen it — no nostalgia, no hindsight, just a genuine two-seater posting a 6.3-second 0-60 time that still holds up today. Viewers can’t decide what stands out more: the numbers, the styling, or the unmistakably late-1960s marketing. Watch the full period test.
Lokar’s Muscle Car Shifter Knob is built to replicate the look and feel of a factory GM shifter closely enough to fool most people at a car show, and it won SEMA’s award for Best New Interior Accessory Product. The install is quick but order-dependent: the shifter must be in Park, the set screw inside the knob stays untouched, and the adapter housing has to be held steady while tightening. Read on for exactly how to avoid the mistakes first-timers make.
Shannon Hudson paid 400 dollars for a Plymouth Valiant nobody expected to amount to anything — the kind of car built for grandparents and college professors, not drag strips. Twenty years, several rebuilds, and a 360 Magnum V8 later, Mopar fans have nicknamed it the Violent Valiant and cannot stop rewatching the episode that introduced it. Watch to find out what makes this 400 dollar sleeper one of the most-rewatched builds on the show.
Elon Musk first confirmed the Tesla Model Y would share its platform with the Model 3 sedan on a quarterly earnings call — but the crossover didn’t actually reach the public until its March 2019 unveiling, with production following in January 2020. When it arrived, roughly 76% of its parts were shared with the Model 3, and Tesla offered four powertrain configurations plus an optional third row. Here’s how the promise from that call actually played out.
Ford never really built the Boss 429 Mustang for customers. It existed to satisfy a NASCAR rulebook, and the engine was so large that Ford had to ship partly built cars to an outside contractor just to get it installed. Only 859 were completed for 1969, wearing almost no badging and none of the spoilers or louvers that marked the other Boss cars. Read on for what Ford was really doing, and why the factory rating was fiction.
Ed Wood built a 1964 Chevrolet Malibu with two Oldsmobile V8s under a stretched hood, decided 500 horsepower was insufficient, and replaced both of them with a surplus Allison V-1710 — the twelve-cylinder aircraft engine that powered the P-38 Lightning and the earliest P-51 Mustangs. It displaced 1,710 cubic inches. It was street-legal. Read on for how a warbird engine ends up in a mid-size Chevy.
For 1970, General Motors dropped the internal rule capping intermediate cars at 400 cubic inches, and Chevrolet answered with RPO LS6: a 454 rated at 450 horsepower and 500 lb-ft on 11.25:1 compression and a solid-lifter camshaft. Roughly 4,475 Chevelles got it, and it lasted exactly one model year in that car. Whether any particular survivor is the very last one built is a far harder question. Read on to find out why.
Jim Isherwood spent decades behind the wheel of Mopar Super Stock race cars, and this ride-along in his 426 Hemi-powered Satellite GTX Belvedere captures exactly why fans still talk about him. Since his passing, the comment section has turned into something between a technical breakdown and a tribute. Watch, and listen, to understand why nothing else sounds quite like a Hemi under full throttle.
RamblinAround takes this 1969 Chevrolet Nova SS out for an honest test drive instead of just walking around it, and with a performance-built 396 big-block, Edelbrock aluminum heads, and a four-speed manual under Cortez Silver paint, there’s plenty to put through its paces. Filmed at Fast Lane Classic Cars in St. Charles, Missouri, the drive shows exactly why this often-overlooked Nova still has a following. Watch to see how a fifty-year-old four-speed muscle car actually feels on the road.
Oldsmobile’s 442 rarely gets mentioned alongside the GTO or the Road Runner, but the W-30 package hiding under this 1969 example held its own against anything Pontiac or Plymouth built. This particular car adds a documented Canadian-market history and a place inside the Brothers Collection, a pairing of rarity and provenance that few surviving 442s can claim. Its Outside Air Induction hood and factory specs tell a story most muscle car fans have never heard. Watch to see why this quiet performer deserves more credit than it’s ever gotten.
Deep inside a Wisconsin barn, under a stripe of bird droppings and a small mountain of collapsed hay, sat two of Mopar’s rarest aero warriors: a 1969 Dodge Charger 500 and a 1970 Plymouth Superbird, untouched for the better part of thirty years. Their owner found each one through a different stroke of luck, a vague classified ad and a tip from a wing car club, decades before either car ever left the barn. Read on to find out how both cars ended up parked together, and why one of them still wears its original barn hay to car shows.
This 1969 Dodge Dart, nicknamed ‘Poison’ by Pennsylvania’s Spuds Garage, wears a Hemi that has nothing in common with what left the factory — and a stance that’s already splitting opinion in the comments. Between wheel debates, tire recommendations, and genuine appreciation for the build’s sound and presence, the reaction says as much about Mopar culture as the car itself. Watch the turnaround and see what all the arguing is about.
This 1970 Dodge Charger R/T pairs the 426 Hemi with a rare EB3 Light Blue Metallic and black vinyl top combination — one of just 56 Hemi Chargers built with an automatic transmission that year. Read on to find out why so few buyers said yes to the Hemi’s steep price tag, and how the engine paid off on Dodge’s most successful NASCAR season yet.
A parking lot, a rotating cast of American V8s, and zero scripted moments — this burnout compilation captures a silver Trans Am’s textbook-perfect run, a Hellcat’s unmistakable supercharger whine, and a GTO cameo that earns its own two-word tribute in the comments. It’s the kind of unpolished, crowd-driven car culture moment that keeps finding new viewers years after it was filmed. Watch to see which car steals the show.
