Julia parked her 1970 Plymouth Barracuda in 2003 after a fender bender left her too overwhelmed to fix it, and it sat untouched for 22 years. Hagerty’s Brito and Dustin track down the car, revive its original 318 V8, and get Julia back behind the wheel of a car tied to a friendship that goes back to 1967. Watch to see why viewers are calling this the most emotional Driveway Finds episode yet.

TheStraightPipes reviews the 807-horsepower Dodge Charger Hellcat Redeye Jailbreak at $128,545 CAD, and it turns into something closer to a eulogy than a spec-sheet breakdown. Viewers are calling it the channel’s most comprehensively edited Hellcat video yet, built around a supercharger whine they say never gets old and a reviewer’s kid who sums up the whole car in one word. Watch to see Dodge’s V8 send-off before the Hellcat era officially ends.

No power adders, no aftermarket engine swaps, no cheating allowed: just two genuinely stock muscle cars from two different eras, lined up side by side at a drag strip built entirely around one strict rule. A rare COPO-built 427 Chevelle and a compact Plymouth Duster 340 went head to head at this event, and the comment section is already arguing about whether either car was actually as stock as advertised.

Over a thousand cars showed up to a fountain-side park in Fountain Hills, Arizona, and somehow a Lamborghini Miura still wasn’t the car everyone in the comments wanted to talk about most. Vipers, a genuine Ferrari Testarossa, and a rare Aston Martin continuation car all made appearances, but it’s the sheer variety packed into one Arizona morning that keeps viewers coming back to this exact upload every year.

Vice Grip Garage’s 1973 Plymouth Duster is losing its famously indestructible slant six and weak 904 automatic, but what Derek drops in their place isn’t the Mopar-correct choice anyone expected. A 351-based stroker, paired with a heavy-duty 727 TorqueFlite, sends this budget-performance fastback in a direction that’s already sparking debate among Mopar loyalists in the comments. Longtime fans are also reminiscing about their own Duster and Dart memories along the way. See exactly what Derek chose to build this Duster around, and why it’s dividing the Mopar faithful.
