A Ford GT40 — the car built specifically to humiliate Ferrari at Le Mans — lines up against a modern 707-horsepower Dodge Hellcat on an Illinois airstrip in this 1320video matchup from Omega Motorsport’s NoFlyZone Midwest. Sixty years of engineering separate these two cars, but only a quarter-mile separates them on the pavement. Watch to see which era comes out ahead.
This 1968 Dodge Charger was hidden so deep in an old junkyard it wasn’t even visible from the road — and it might still be sitting there if a family hadn’t decided to buy it on the spot. The car’s condition surprised viewers, but the real standout was a young kid confidently correcting an adult’s Super Bee trivia. Watch to see the find and the moment that had everyone talking.
Project Deep South is a 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air rebuilt the way tri-five Chevys have been rebuilt for sixty years, by keeping the shape and replacing nearly everything else. An LS3 sits where a 235 cubic inch straight-six once lived, the chrome is blacked out, the paint is candy apple, and the stance is set low. Here is why this particular body became the default canvas for American custom car building.
A vintage Dodge Dart with a Chrysler 340 under the hood lines up against a modern C5 Corvette, and the comment section had already decided who wins before the video even loaded. One viewer calls it over before it started; another shares the story of nearly buying a 340 Duster for $1,000 back in 1975. Watch to see if old-school Mopar muscle really does settle the argument.
Behind a collapsing barn door sits a 1969 Pontiac GTO nobody has moved in years, and the comment section cannot agree on what should happen to it. Some want it stripped for restoration parts; one viewer wants it left exactly as found, rust and all. Several offer surprisingly specific advice on how to legally claim an abandoned car like this one for yourself. Watch to see the full discovery inside the barn.
Brian Makse takes the 2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat Widebody out for a first drive built around one real question: does borrowing the Demon’s flared fenders actually make the Hellcat better, or just meaner-looking? Commenters overwhelmingly say Dodge finally got the Challenger’s proportions right — and at least one viewer credits this exact review with convincing them to buy one. Watch to see whether the width lives up to the hype.
This bright green Dodge Charger hides an 800-horsepower Procharged Hemi and a subwoofer-equipped interior — built, per commenters, by the owner himself. 1320video catches the car running Colorado Springs Airport’s runway at the 2017 Pikes Peak Airstrip Attack. Viewers call the owner a badass for actually driving it instead of trailering a build this serious. Watch to see what a real daily-driven, 800-horsepower Hemi can do.
This 1963 Mercury Comet was bought new at a Tyler, Texas dealership in May 1963 and driven by the same owner into her nineties, accumulating just 45,000 miles along the way. What makes it genuinely uncommon is not the mileage but the order sheet: a base sedan optioned with both the 260 V8 and air conditioning, a combination almost nobody chose. Read on to find out why that pairing was so rare and what it means today.
Automakers build pilot cars to shake down a new model before the assembly line starts, then usually destroy them. That makes any survivor a genuinely strange thing to find in a driveway. This early-build 1970 Chevelle SS396 carries the sort of details that make researchers reach for a flashlight and start checking stampings. Read on to find out what the metal underneath would actually have to prove.
Most barn finds are interesting for what has gone wrong with them. This 1964 Dodge Polara is interesting for what stayed right: a factory big block and a four-speed still in place after decades in rural Texas. Polaras almost never get the attention Chargers and Coronets do, which is exactly how a car like this hides in plain sight. Read on to find out what Dodge was really building in 1964.
This 1967 Camaro pairs a deceptively restrained exterior and factory houndstooth interior with a 502-horsepower ZZ502 crate engine, filmed in detail at Fast Lane Classic Cars in Missouri. A Borg Warner four-speed and 12-bolt rear handle the power, while front disc brakes and modern tires keep it planted. Commenters can’t stop calling it a dream car. Watch the full walkaround to see what 502 horsepower looks like in a car that doesn’t announce itself.
A random online post about a car sitting in someone’s barn led The Auto Archaeologist to a 1967 Mercury Comet Caliente most muscle car fans have never heard of, let alone seen. This particular example carries the R-code designation, meaning a factory 427 with dual four-barrels and a four-speed manual, verified in an original Hot Rod magazine feature. Even dedicated Mercury enthusiasts often assume this configuration is more legend than reality. Watch to see what a genuine, forgotten piece of Mercury muscle car history looks like today.
A nitro Top Fuel car has no transmission and no gear changes, which means the clutch alone meters roughly eleven thousand horsepower to the tires across the entire run. It is tuned by adding and removing steel counterweights measured in grams, runs at friction temperatures near 3,700 degrees, and gets rebuilt between nearly every round. Here is how the system actually works, and why the clutch is where a nitro race is really won.
The 1964 Ford Falcon debuted a squarer, more mature restyle and a genuine performance option in the Sprint package, built around the Fairlane’s 260 V8. Few buyers realized this unassuming compact supplied the unitized chassis, suspension, and drivetrain components that became the foundation of the Mustang. Interchangeable parts made the Falcon easy to keep on the road, but harder to keep in Ford’s spotlight.
210 episodes into covering the Brothers Collection, Muscle Car of the Week finally ranks the convertibles — pulling from a 1967 Mustang K-code, a 1964 Plymouth Satellite 426 Wedge, a fuel-injected 1959 Corvette, and a 440 Six Barrel ‘Cuda in Tor-Red. Each car represents a different era and manufacturer’s approach to open-top American performance. The comments are already split over which one deserves the top spot. Watch to see the full lineup and decide which convertible you’d pick.
