Chrysler built only 22 1971 Dodge Super Bees with the 426 Hemi, and only 9 of those got a 4-speed manual. Separately, just 9 known ’71 Super Bees left the factory with a power sunroof — a nearly-$500 option that mandated a full vinyl top. Whether any single car sits at the overlap of all three is a question the historical record can’t quite settle. Watch to see the numbers behind one of the rarest combinations in Mopar history.

A Cars and Coffee meet in Oklahoma City brought out factory-stock and modified muscle cars alike, from a black-painted 396-style Camaro to a ’68 ‘Cuda most viewers couldn’t stop talking about. Buried in the footage is a Yenko Nova, one of only 37 built and seven known to survive today. Four minutes of tire smoke and drive-bys hide more automotive history than most viewers realized. Watch to spot it yourself.
An amateur clip of a 1969 Boss 429 leaving a car show it just won has racked up over a decade of replays, with commenters returning specifically to hear its rough, high-cam idle one more time. Ford built the Boss 429 purely to homologate its 429 engine for NASCAR, reshaping the Mustang’s front end just to fit it. Add American flags and a nuclear plant in the background, and it’s become an unlikely, enduring favorite.
TheTopher takes a 2016 Dodge Challenger SRT 392 for a POV drive built around a single modification — a resonator delete aimed purely at exhaust note, captured with binaural microphones for headphone listeners. At 485 horsepower and a 4.7-second 0-60, the naturally aspirated 392 still holds its own against its Hellcat-badged sibling. The sound alone makes the case.
This Mercury Cyclone spans the full 1964-1972 run of a car that never got the recognition of its Ford Torino cousin — despite a limited NASCAR homologation special, a dashboard owners still rave about decades later, and a street reputation for embarrassing cars that outclassed it on paper. Owners in the comments share three generations of family memories tied to the badge. Watch to see why a car this capable stayed this overlooked.
Every car at this drag race has to leave the line the way it left the factory — original engine, original exhaust, no shortcuts. This year’s two-day coverage from Mid Michigan Motorplex mixes in-car and drone footage of a 1970 Hemi ‘Cuda, a 455-powered Pontiac T-37, an AMC Hornet SC 360, and a 454 Corvette, all running bone stock against each other. Watch to see which factory legend actually backs up its brochure numbers.
American Motors built muscle cars on a fraction of what Ford, GM, and Chrysler spent — yet fielded a genuine two-seat performance car in the AMX, a Trans-Am-proven Javelin, and the tachometer-hooded 1970 Rebel Machine. This countdown video draws a passionate, correction-heavy response from AMC loyalists in the comments. Watch to see which cars actually earned AMC’s reputation for hiding real speed in unglamorous bodies.
Plymouth’s Barracuda beat the Mustang to market by two weeks in April 1964 — and then spent a decade figuring out how to actually compete with it. This rundown traces the nameplate from its Valiant-based debut through the 1970 E-body reinvention, the Hemi ‘Cuda and AAR ‘Cuda, and the four-headlight 1971 restyle, ending with Barracuda production’s quiet close in 1974. Watch to see how a footnote became one of the most valuable muscle cars ever built.
Brown County Dragway’s eighth-mile is narrow enough and beat up enough that grass grows between the lanes — and once a year, the fastest small-tire no-prep cars in the country race there anyway, often past sunrise. This year’s War in the Woods XIV coverage from 1320video doubles as a tribute to a community figure the crew clearly lost, and includes a Fox-body-versus-Firebird finish fans are still arguing about. Watch to see why this event has no real competitor.
Richard Hammond spent years reviewing everything from hypercars to homemade contraptions, but it’s a 500-horsepower Ford Mustang Dark Horse that pulled the most surprising reaction out of him yet. Built around a reworked 5.0-liter V8, a standard limited-slip diff, and a six-speed manual, the Dark Horse arrives just as its V8 rivals are disappearing from showrooms entirely. Watch to see what won him over.
Jay Leno gets a look at a car that shouldn’t exist by any normal logic: a brand-new 1968 Mustang GT 2+2 Fastback with Cobra Jet badging, built from freshly manufactured tooling rather than a restored donor car, and packing a modern Coyote V8 underneath period-correct steel. Watch to see how a Florida manufacturer is legally building Mustangs Ford stopped making decades ago.
Brad Conley owns one of the actual Stage 1 prototype show cars Buick used to prove the GSX deserved to exist before the division ever built one for a customer. Host Kevin Oeste finally met his own childhood dream car face to face at the 2018 Muscle Car and Corvette Nationals in Chicago — and Conley did more than let him look. Watch to see what happened when the owner invited him to sit inside.
Richard Rawlings and the Gas Monkey Garage crew found three 1970 Dodge Challengers — purple, black, and orange — hiding in the same barn, and the tipster who found them wanted a $10,000 finder’s fee for the tip alone. Pulled from years of barn-find hunts across Camaros, GTOs, and Monte Carlos, this compilation shows exactly how those negotiations really go down. Watch to see whether Rawlings pays up or walks.
B is for Build cut a 2019 Mustang GT down to bare metal and fabricated a 1967 Fastback body onto its modern chassis, calling it a roughly $40,000 build. Their own commenters ran the labor math and came up with a very different number. Watch the SEMA-deadline build that turned into a debate over what car builds actually cost once real labor counts.
Rich Fairservis spent most of his life buying the cars he wanted, one at a time — and the result is a warehouse holding six Dodge Demon 170s making a combined 6,150 horsepower, plus a Viper from every generation ever built. Photographer Larry Chen was let inside to document it. One viewer even stumbled onto the building by accident, driving for Uber nearby. See what a lifetime of deliberate collecting actually looks like up close.
