Plymouth only offered this exact combination for a few months before moving on, which is precisely why the A12 Road Runner remains one of the most talked-about mid-year muscle cars ever built. Wearing Vitamin C Orange paint straight from The Brothers Collection, this particular 440 Six Barrel car represents a stopgap Chrysler engineered on the fly to answer a very specific rival. Watch to find out what problem this car was actually built to solve.
Most 1970 Dodge Challengers spend their lives on quiet Saturday cruise nights, never once seeing triple-digit speeds. This one runs the German Autobahn regularly, camera and speedo mounted for anyone brave enough to watch the needle climb. Viewers keep coming back to a very specific complaint about this car in the comments, and once you hear the engine screaming near 140 mph, you’ll understand exactly why.
1967 was the year the Plymouth Satellite got quietly outranked by its own family. The new Belvedere GTX arrived that year with a 440 wedgehead V8 and the 426 Hemi, an engine Plymouth had already been selling in the Satellite since 1966. The Satellite carried on as Plymouth’s value performance pick, powered by a 383 available with either a two-barrel or four-barrel carburetor. Here’s how the B-body pecking order shifted in a single model year.
A 1970 Hemi Road Runner sat untouched since the 1970s before it was finally dug out of hiding, and what its build sheet revealed turned a routine barn find into a genuine discovery: VIN 00015, the first 1970 Road Runner ever built. Only 44 coupes left the factory with this exact 426 Hemi and 4-speed combination. Watch to see the car that started an entire model year.
By 1971 the muscle car era was already cooling off, and Buick’s Gran Sport had to adapt to new fuel and emissions realities without losing its identity. This GS 350 survived that transition looking sharp, one of a shrinking number left from a production run that barely broke nine thousand cars. Here is what made the 1971 GS a genuinely interesting footnote in Buick’s performance history, not just a leftover from better years.
Only eleven of these were ever built, and this bright yellow and white example happens to be one of them. A 426 Hemi under the hood of a drop-top 1971 ‘Cuda made this one of the rarest, most valuable muscle cars Plymouth ever produced, and the comment section is full of owners and fans who clearly understand exactly what they’re looking at. One viewer even brings up a famous TV cop show ‘Cuda that almost, but not quite, matches this car’s pedigree.
This side-by-side pits an original Hertz-era Shelby GT350 against a brand-new one, a genuine continuation car from Revology Cars, the only company Ford has ever licensed to build reproduction Mustangs from scratch. With an all-new steel body, a modern Coyote V8, and Carroll Shelby’s own blessing, it’s the closest thing to buying a factory-fresh 1965 GT350 six decades later.
The third-generation Camaro does not get much respect, dismissed as the awkward middle child of Chevrolet’s muscle car lineage. One owner spent years proving that reputation wrong, building an IROC-Z so subtly refined it looks nearly stock at a glance, no loud stripes, no attention-seeking mods, just years of careful work reserved for how the car actually drives. The Drive tracked it down for a proper test drive. Watch to see whether it lives up to the title.
Built in 1996, this Buick GSX became the first GS Pro Street car to break into the 9-second quarter-mile bracket, debuting at the GS Nationals and winning its class outright. Fourteen years later, new owner Bob Ortolani brought it back to the same shop for a fresh powerplant, and this video captures the very first day that combination hit the strip, three passes that kept dropping the number, followed by an unplanned wheelie nobody saw coming. Watch the full run and see how close the car came to the 9.40s.
Exactly ten 1966 Plymouth Belvedere II convertibles were built with the factory 426 Hemi, and this one, from The Brothers Collection, is Episode 228 of V8TV’s Muscle Car of the Week series. Most comments focused on the car’s rarity and color — but a few sharp-eyed viewers flagged a driver’s door that doesn’t sit quite right where it meets the rocker panel. On a car built in single-digit numbers, that kind of scrutiny comes with the territory. Watch the full walkaround.
Owner Jeffrey Filz grew up two blocks from the Kenosha plant that built this 1970 AMC Javelin SST Mark Donohue Signature Edition, and the comments below Lou Costabile’s video turn up an even wilder story: a commenter’s father, a former Spitfire pilot, briefly owned one himself. Watch the full walkaround and engine start.
Tim Allen opens up his private garage for GQ’s Car Collectors series, and it’s less a display of exotics than a decades-deep collection of authentic American iron — including a 1965 Shelby Cobra S/C and a 1933 Ford Roadster he built himself during Home Improvement’s run. Watch to see why this collection reflects the man more than the market.
David Reese built this 1966 Ford Mustang Gasser back in 2013, and it still runs its 351 Cleveland exactly the way a period-correct gasser should. What makes War Horse unusual isn’t the raised nose or the drag strip runs — it’s that its owner has actually driven it cross-country on public roads. Watch to see how a dedicated race car earns that kind of mileage.
