A 1972 Chevelle Spent Decades Rotting in a Hay Barn — Then a Monster Big Block Brought It Back From the Dead

by Jack Harmon

A 1972 Chevrolet Chevelle gets dragged out of a hay barn and rebuilt from the ground up on PowerNation, with new body panels, an upgraded suspension, and a big-block Chevy engine dropped under the hood. Hosts Marc and Tommy finish the car in a dazzling metallic baby blue before taking it for a payoff drive through the Smoky Mountains. A sharp-eyed viewer — a professional locksmith — even spotted a shortcut the crew missed for the broken trunk lock. The build has become a fan favorite for its patient, drama-free approach to bringing a forgotten classic back to life.

Dodge Killed the V8 Charger and Replaced It With an EV — This 550-HP Twin-Turbo Six Is the Apology Nobody Expected

by Jack Harmon

Throttle House hosts Thomas and James test the 2026 Dodge Charger Sixpack, the gas-powered, twin-turbo six-cylinder version of Dodge’s new Charger platform making 550 horsepower for $54,995 USD. The review — bluntly titled ‘Welp’ — splits the hosts between cautious optimism and open disappointment. Commenters piled on over the car’s roughly 4,800-pound curb weight, heavier than a Toyota Highlander hybrid despite carrying no EV battery, and a plastic engine cover that misrepresents the inline-six’s cylinder layout. It’s a pointed look at whether Dodge’s post-Hemi Charger can actually deliver on the muscle car promise.

The 1970 Ford Torino Cobra Was Built to Fry Tires at Will — So Why Did Everyone Forget Its 429 Engine?

A 1970 Ford Torino Cobra finished in Vermillion with satin black accents gets the spotlight in V8TV’s Muscle Car of the Week series, powered by a factory-rated 375-horsepower 429 Super Cobra Jet V8. Owners in the comments dispute that number, with one claiming his SCJ Torino made closer to 540 horsepower once drag-pack options were factored in. Period magazine tests reportedly placed its quarter-mile times alongside a 435-horsepower Corvette, despite the Torino rarely getting the same collector respect today. One owner’s story about the car even ends with a deer strike on a Wyoming highway at 100 mph.

The 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS 454: The Full Story Behind Detroit’s Most Brutal Big-Block Muscle Car

by Jack Harmon

The 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS 454 came with two very different big-blocks — the 360-horsepower LS5 and the race-bred, 450-horsepower LS6 — and disputed production numbers that still fuel debate at auction. Viewer comments add their own family history, from a Fathom Green LS6 to a rumored Corvette-swapped ’67. Few muscle cars generate this many personal stories fifty years later.
