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.
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.
Ron Reolfi’s 1968 Chevrolet Camaro disappeared from outside his North Canton, Ohio workplace in twenty minutes back in 1981 — and stayed gone for 33 years. The reason it eventually came back has nothing to do with luck and everything to do with a title that never legally changed hands. Watch the full story of how a decades-old paperwork trail reunited a man with the car he never stopped losing.
Visal Chum first saw an Acura NSX as a teenager and didn’t stop thinking about it until he finally tracked down this 1992 Formula Red example decades later. Lou Costabile catches up with him at a Chicago car show to talk about the search, the patience it took, and why he calls the NSX ‘the purest sports car.’ Watch the full conversation above.
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.
‘Don’t find fault, find a remedy; anybody can complain’ is one of Henry Ford’s most repeated quotes, and it reflects the same pragmatic mindset that built the modern assembly line. Ford wasn’t just a businessman with a knack for slogans, he was solving one of the hardest manufacturing puzzles of his era. Here’s the story behind the man and the philosophy that built Ford Motor Company.
This 1958 Oldsmobile 88 carries the era’s 371-cubic-inch Rocket V8 and the one-piece wraparound backlight that replaced the old three-strut rear window design. It’s a survivor from the model year that earned Oldsmobile the unofficial nickname ‘ChromeMobile’ — and from the depths of a national recession that hit full-size car sales industrywide. Read on to find out what made this quietly capable cruiser more than just a chrome showcase.
Engine Masters puts a stubborn garage myth to the dyno: does a 3-inch exhaust really outperform a 2.5-inch system, or does it depend on what’s bolted to the other end of the pipe? Real back-to-back testing, presented by AMSOIL, replaces forum arguments with actual horsepower curves. Over six million viewers have watched the results, and builders are still citing them years later. See what the numbers actually show.
Nearly 3,000 vehicles spanning prewar sedans to modern Hellcats fill the show field at Chryslers at Carlisle every year, drawing Mopar die-hards willing to argue over a date code for hours. This piece walks through why Carlisle became Mopar’s unofficial capital, what makes the swap meet and car corral half the draw, and why factory-correct detail matters so much to this particular crowd.
Most Hemi Dart stories are about the famous 1968 factory lightweights built for NHRA Super Stock racing around the 426 Race Hemi. This 1968 Dodge Dart GTS tells a different one: a first-generation Chrysler FirePower Hemi, bored from 331 to 342 cubic inches, tucked under a completely stock-looking hood and fenders. It’s an engine most Mopar fans forgot Chrysler ever built into a Hemi lineage at all. Read on to find out how a discontinued 1950s engine ended up hiding inside a 1968 A-body.
What started in 1983 as a single one-day car show in a California fairgrounds parking lot grew into a national circuit spanning coast to coast — though not every East Coast venue has stuck the way its longtime Hudson Valley date has. Here’s how Goodguys built its reputation, and why a show with 1,500-plus hot rods and muscle cars running for decades in Rhinebeck matters more than it looks.
Planning a road trip around America’s best muscle car museums? One name that used to top these lists, Florida’s Muscle Car City, closed for good in 2021 and sold off its 200-plus car collection at auction. Here’s an updated look at which classic muscle car museums are still standing – including the one built next to an actual Corvette assembly plant, and why institutional backing matters more than you’d think.
This barn held two very different 1968 Mustangs — a base six-cylinder car, and a genuine mid-year 428 Cobra Jet Fastback GT that Ford built specifically to homologate for drag racing. Both need real mechanical work after years in storage, but only one of them is one of the rarest production Mustangs ever built. See what a side-by-side barn find reveals about how differently the same model year could turn out.
This 1969 Dodge Coronet Super Bee wears a 472 cubic-inch Hemi under its hood — bigger than anything Dodge offered from the factory in this body style — backed by a four-speed manual transmission. Photographed at Fast Lane Classic Cars in St. Charles, Missouri, it’s the kind of B-body Mopar that inspired decades of grade-school parking-lot burnouts and grown men promising to buy one the day they win the lottery. Watch to see what a stroked Hemi and a cartoon bee badge can still do to a crowd.
