Dodge completely reinvented the Charger for 1971 with a wider, shorter ‘fuselage’ body and a split, twin-grille nose that made the outgoing car look like a different species entirely. It’s also the last model year Chrysler ever offered the 426 Hemi in any car, making this the final chapter of the Elephant engine’s factory life. Just 3,118 Charger R/Ts were built that year, and rising insurance rates meant fewer buyers ever got the chance to check that Hemi box before it disappeared for good.
A 1968 Plymouth GTX in B5 Blue with the rare 440+6 Six Pack setup would be notable on its own, but owner Kevin Plummer’s reason for buying it is what turns heads. He spent years chasing down the exact car his father owned when he was a boy, and he’s owned it since 2015. The comment section fills with strangers telling nearly identical stories about their own fathers.
Ford revived the Shelby GT350 badge on a completely different platform half a century after Carroll Shelby”s original track-focused Mustang made its name at SCCA events. A naturally aspirated flat-plane-crank V8 replaced the old 289 Windsor, but the underlying mission stayed remarkably consistent. Here is how the original 1965 legend and its modern namesake actually compare, spec for spec and mission for mission.
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.
Rev up your engines, folks! The Ford Galaxie, from 1964 to 1968, was a star on and off the racetrack. In ’64, it flaunted a sleek, aerodynamic look, thanks to NASCAR tinkering. The Galaxie XL hardtop coupe was a collector’s dream with its comfy bucket seats and a V8 engine that could make even the most stoic driver grin. By ’68, this beauty boasted horizontally mounted headlights and a cigarette lighter – because who doesn’t need a smoke when cruising in style? Buckle up for a ride through automotive history!
This race-prepped Camaro isn’t just for sale, it’s a rolling piece of the pony car war Chevrolet started on purpose. When reporters asked what ‘Camaro’ meant, Chevy’s famous answer was ‘a small, vicious animal that eats Mustangs,’ and the rivalry that followed pushed both brands into a genuine horsepower arms race. Decades later, this car still runs like it has something to prove.
Only two buyers in 1966 ordered a Ford 7-Litre convertible with the dual-carburetor R-Code 427 instead of the standard 428 — and this Brothers Collection car is one of them. Muscle Car Of The Week digs into what actually separates the R-Code’s cross-bolted big block from the ordinary version riding under most 7-Litre badges. Watch to see why this one stopped the crew in their tracks.
This 1970 Ford Torino King Cobra prototype was built to fight Chrysler’s aerodynamic NASCAR cars, wrapping an extended nose around the race-bred Boss 429 V8 before NASCAR’s rule changes killed the entire program. Only a handful of these prototypes were ever built, making this one of the rarest Fords in existence. Take a detailed look at a car that came remarkably close to reaching Ford showrooms before the aero wars ended.
Ford rated this Mustang’s big block at just 375 horsepower, a figure almost nobody who drove one actually believed. Built to satisfy NASCAR homologation rules and assembled outside the factory by an outside engineering firm, this car packed race-bred internals most buyers never fully understood. Discover why enthusiasts still debate its real output decades later, and how a Hemi-inspired head design ended up under a Ford hood.
At its 2017 Detroit Auto Show press conference, Ford officially confirmed the return of both the Bronco SUV and Ranger pickup, built on a shared body-on-frame platform at its Michigan Assembly Plant. Details were scarce, but the timeline was clear: Ranger for 2019, Bronco for 2020. DPCcars covers the announcement that turned two decades of rumors into an actual product plan.
A Ford engineer backing his own Shelby GT350 out of his driveway got the cops called on him by an annoyed neighbor, and that awkward morning became the reason the 2018 Mustang GT has a ‘Good Neighbor Mode.’ Quiet Start and Quiet Exhaust settings can drop noise by 10 decibels and be scheduled straight from the steering wheel. Sometimes the best engineering comes from genuine embarrassment.
GM’s 1956 Firebird II was a titanium-bodied, gas-turbine dream car that never got anywhere near a dealer lot — so how did its name end up on one of the most iconic pony cars Detroit ever built? Pontiac almost called its new 1967 Mustang-fighter something else entirely before reaching back to that jet-age Motorama show car. From a 165-horsepower base six to a 325-horsepower GTO-sourced V8, the production Firebird offered enough combinations that no two seem to drive alike.
The decades-old Mustang-versus-Camaro rivalry has found unlikely new life in China, where Ford’s later-arriving pony car has outsold Chevrolet’s by more than 3-to-1 despite a four-year head start for the Camaro. The gap traces back to one detail muscle car fans will recognize instantly: engine choice. Read on to find out why a turbocharged four-cylinder cost Chevrolet the fight.
A Mustang crossing into a barricaded construction zone, a driver who may have hit both pedals at once, and a comment section that has spent years trying to figure out exactly what happened — this brief dashcam clip punches well above its modest view count. One recurring theory blames pedal confusion; another blames the tires entirely. Watch the few seconds of footage and decide for yourself which explanation holds up.
EricTheCarGuy tears down a Ford 302 for the long-running #FairmontProject expecting a straightforward rebuild — until the inspection turns up a problem that changes the entire plan. The video’s own description admits the block likely won’t work, then pivots straight into the next phase: a turbo kit already in development. Watch to see exactly what disqualified the block, and what comes next.
