A 1971 Plymouth Duster, a 360 small-block, and a four-speed manual — that’s the entire budget-build recipe David Freiburger and Steve Dulcich used to create ‘The Red Duster’ on Roadkill Garage. See how far a scrappy, low-buck Mopar can go, both on the workbench and on the open road, and why the Duster remains one of the smartest ways into muscle car ownership.
While the supercharged Hellcat hogged every headline, Dodge quietly built a 485-horsepower, naturally aspirated 6.4-liter Hemi that channels a 1957 legend and hits 60 mph in about four seconds flat. It’s the SRT model Dodge built for people who actually wanted to drive their muscle car, not just brag about the number on the window sticker. Here’s why the 392 still has a cult following all its own.
Only about 1,907 Dodge Super Bees ever left the factory with the A12 440 Six-Pack package — a fiberglass-hooded, Dana 60-equipped screamer built to out-perform the Hemi for less money. A Wisconsin restoration shop put a real one on camera, and the story behind why so few were built is stranger than the car itself. Here’s what actually separates a genuine A12 from the tribute cars flooding the market.
Dennis Collins has spent nearly four decades earning the trust of America’s most private car collectors. When one owner let him film a stash worth calling ‘Top Secret,’ it exposed exactly what separates real muscle car people from everyone else chasing the hobby. Here’s what actually gets you past that door.
Rich Fairservis spent decades building an Arizona collection that pairs a 1970 Plymouth Superbird and Boss 429 Mustang with a Dodge Viper from every generation ever built. The showstopper: six Demon 170s parked together, putting a combined 6,150 horsepower under one roof — and nearly all of it still gets driven regularly.
A 1970 Plymouth Road Runner spent years as Hollywood’s insurance policy, standing by as a stunt double for a crash scene that never made it to film. Instead of getting wrecked, it became one of the most complete Mopar restomods on the show circuit — built around an aluminum Hemi and a story most muscle cars simply don’t have.
This 1970 Plymouth Duster 340 belonged to one family since it rolled off the lot new, then sat forgotten for 30 years. A crew took just seven days to wake the 340 cubic-inch V8 back up and turn a rotting heirloom into a road-worthy sleeper. See how a one-week revival stacks up against a full frame-off restoration.
A numbers-matching Mustang Boss 429 crossed the block at the 2026 Mecum Indy auction and walked away unsold, and it wasn’t alone. Ultimate Muscle Car catalogues the significant cars, including an Oldsmobile 442 W-30 convertible, that failed to meet reserve that weekend. See the full list and what it says about where the muscle car market actually stands right now.
