WWE Stars With Their Classic Muscle Cars – Here Are Our Best Picks

John Cena’s 1966 Dodge Hemi Charger is not just famous because he owns it. Dodge built only 468 Chargers with the 426 Hemi that first year, making it one of the rarest first-generation Chargers in existence. Cena has kept it unmodified, running its factory 425-horsepower specification more than half a century later. His collection also reveals a pattern common among WWE stars: a preference for loud, powerful American iron over European exotics. It’s a collecting style that mirrors the persona built in the ring.

Jaguar XKE Series I-1961 to “68

by Ross Mills

Enzo Ferrari reportedly called it the most beautiful car ever made, and the Museum of Modern Art keeps one in its permanent collection, which is not something most sports cars can claim. The Series I E-Type ran from 1961 to 1968 on a 3.8 liter twin-cam six with triple SU carburetors, and the earliest cars have identifying details worth serious money. Read on for what separates a flat-floor car from everything that followed.

Event Happening: The Goodguys/Speedway Day In The Hay

by Kiril

The Goodguys Rod and Custom Association started with a single 650-car show in a California fairground parking lot back in 1983. Four decades later it is the largest street rod and custom car organization in the country, staging 15 events a year in 17 states plus vintage drag races. The Day in the Hay in Lincoln, Nebraska carries on that same formula on a smaller, regional scale.

Ford Mustang 1400hp Turbo Foxbody Flying

by Kiril

A Fox-body Mustang never made more than 235 horsepower from the factory, and that was the 1993 SVT Cobra R. This teal example runs a forged 5.3-liter LS with twin 76-millimeter turbos making roughly 1400, after starting life with a single-turbo 6.0 combination. Getting there took a fuel system, a chassis, and a cage that cost more than the engine. Read on for what a build like this actually requires.

Chevrolet Coupe 1941 IMAGES

by Ross Mills

The 1941 Chevrolet Master Deluxe and Special Deluxe carried Harley Earl’s Royal Clipper design, hidden running boards, recessed headlights, and a lower, wider stance meant to echo Buick at a Chevrolet price. Both trims shared a 216.5-cubic-inch six making 90 horsepower, differing mainly in interior trim and brightwork. Chevrolet built over 400,000 Master Deluxe examples that year, unknowingly closing out its last full production year before World War II production took over.

Meet the World’s Quickest 6g Chevrolet Camaro ZL1

by Kiril

A stock sixth-generation Camaro ZL1 already runs the quarter mile in the low elevens straight off the showroom floor. Vengeance Racing decided that was a starting point, built one past 1,000 rear-wheel horsepower, and ran a 9.58 at nearly 153 mph, the quickest sixth-gen ZL1 in the world at the time. Then they went considerably further. Read on to find out how far the platform can actually be pushed.

Scarce ’64 Pontiac Catalina Station Wagon!

by Kiril

A 1964 Pontiac Catalina Safari station wagon, spotted on the streets of Montreal, drew a comment from the person who actually built it years earlier, confirming the interior is untouched since the restoration. Commenters still cannot agree whether it carries a 389 or 421 V8. Watch the full walk-around and see why wagons deserve more credit in muscle car circles.

Dodge Challenger GT Review! | Is It A Proper Muscle Car?

by Wes

Dodge builds an all-wheel-drive Challenger, but the only engine you can get with it is a V6 — so EddieX asks the obvious, slightly provocative question: does that still count as a muscle car? The answer that comes back from actual GT owners in the snowbelt has almost nothing to do with horsepower, and everything to do with why they bought this exact car in the first place. What does “muscle car” even mean once winter tires enter the conversation?

Lowes Semi Truck runs red light, Ping pong Cars !

by Wes

A Lowe’s delivery truck, quite possibly loaded with someone’s new washer and dryer, gets broadsided by a small red car that blows straight through a red light — and one alert driver in a white van manages to avoid becoming the third vehicle involved. Both drivers were hospitalized; neither injury turned out to be severe. Watch the dashcam footage that has viewers still arguing about which vehicle actually came out worse.

Mad Max Story of The V8 Interceptor

by Wes

The Ford Falcon XB coupe that became Mad Max’s V8 Interceptor was built from improvised parts, including a worn-out drag car supercharger with its compressor vanes removed just to make it spinnable. Decades later, a mechanic who worked on the build showed up in the comments to explain exactly how close the whole thing came to falling apart during filming — and Australia is still campaigning to bring the car home. Watch to see why this scrappy, homemade build became one of the most beloved movie cars ever built.

Casey Underdahl’s G-Machine 1969 Chevrolet Camaro is a Jack-of-All-Trades!

by Kiril

Casey Underdahl and his father dragged a 1969 Camaro body from Georgia to Minnesota believing it was ready for paint. What they actually bought was a shell with filler and seam sealer hiding rust in the firewall, roof, and window channels. What came out the other end was a pro-touring car built to be judged on a stopwatch, not a show field. Read on to find out what it takes to make a G-machine that actually does everything.

Chrysler Hemi Power- Hemispherical by design-1 of 5

by Ross Mills

The combustion chamber that made Chrysler famous was never Chrysler’s invention, and the company’s first hemispherical engine was not designed for a car at all. It was drawn for a fighter plane, then refined in a tank, and it reached showrooms in 1951 wearing a name that had nothing to do with geometry. Read on to find out how a wartime experiment became the most valuable four letters in American performance.

This Hellcat-Swapped 1969 Dodge Charger Is a Muscle Car Fan’s Dream

by Kiril

Some builds put two things together that were never supposed to meet. Cleveland Power and Performance took a 1969 Dodge Charger body, a shape recognizable at fifty yards, and married it to a modern supercharged chassis that makes more than twice the horsepower the original engineers ever contemplated. Read on to find out why they swapped the body onto the frame instead of the engine into the car.

Chevrolet Corvette C7 Procharged – STANG KILLER

by Kiril

Justin’s ProCharged C7 Corvette had to survive daily driving and 10-second quarter-mile passes on the same set of parts, which is a much harder brief than it sounds. Getting there meant multiple teardowns and finding the platform’s weak links the expensive way, before the car finally debuted at Street Car Takeover’s 2016 season opener in Phoenix. Read on to find out what a centrifugal blower actually does to a mostly stock C7.
