A nitrous-fed 1967 Mustang lines up against a twin-turbo 1999 Camaro on a public road, and the run goes bad in a hurry. RedmaroProductions shares the footage not as a highlight but as a warning, both drivers were fine, and both cars needed serious repairs. It is a vivid look at two very different fast-car philosophies and why the track exists. See exactly how quickly a street race can turn.
The Camaro was never supposed to last fifty years — it was a rushed response to the Mustang, built on borrowed time and a hastily developed platform. Instead it became one of the longest-running nameplates in American performance history, surviving a cancellation and multiple redesigns along the way. Here’s how a car built to catch up ended up outlasting most of its rivals.
Fifty years ago General Motors answered the Ford Mustang not once but twice, and a museum exhibit is now putting the Camaro and Firebird side by side with the movie cars that turned them into pop culture icons. One shape-shifted into an alien robot on screen; the other spent a decade running from the law with a trucker at the wheel. Here’s why GM built two separate pony cars instead of one.
This 1970 AMC Javelin SST wears the Mark Donohue Signature Edition package and a shade of Big Bad Orange that’s impossible to miss, but the best part of this story belongs to its owner. Jeffrey Filz grew up two blocks from the AMC plant in Kenosha and remembers the day a brand-new Javelin first came down his street. Watch to hear him tell it in his own words.
They swear this flawless 1967 Mustang was pulled from the corner of a barn, and that is only the second most unbelievable thing about it. Nicknamed HELLEANOR, it hides more than 3,000 horsepower under the hood, and it makes that power from a 402-cubic-inch small block rather than a giant big block. The crew says it runs low four-second eighth miles with roughly 1,500 horsepower still in reserve. See the car that refuses to choose between show and go.
Muscle cars aren’t just vehicles; they’re an attitude on wheels. Take Eleanor, the iconic 1967 Mustang from “Gone in 60 Seconds,” a true embodiment of muscle car spirit. These beasts, often powered by roaring V8 engines, dominated drag racing from the ’60s to ’80s. With insane torque and horsepower, they offer rides that’ll make your jaw drop—and maybe your toupee fly off. Thanks to innovations like Dodge’s all-wheel drive Challenger GT, driving these monsters isn’t just for sunny days anymore!
At first glance, this looks like a straightforward 1969 Boss 302 Mustang restoration spotted at the Pigeon Forge Rod Run. Look closer, though, and the proportions do not quite add up — because underneath that convincing Boss 302 body sits the chassis and running gear of a 2007 Mustang GT. ScottieDTV’s own reaction captures just how well the illusion works in person.
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.
Not every muscle car became a household name, and this countdown digs up seven that deserved far more attention than history gave them. Presented without narration, relying on engine sound and on screen text alone, the video lets these overlooked machines make their own case. Discover which forgotten muscle cars are finally getting their due at auction today.
Ford quietly swapped engines mid-year on the 1968 Shelby GT500, and the change turned an already potent muscle car into a legend. Early cars carried the proven 428 Police Interceptor, good for a genuine 360 horsepower, before Ford dropped in the underrated 428 Cobra Jet and renamed the car GT500KR, King of the Road. Only 1,570 KR models were built that year, split between fastbacks and convertibles.
The first Shelby Super Snake was a 600-horsepower one-off built to promote Goodyear tires, and Ford turned down the chance to put it into production. Four decades later, Shelby brought the name back as a real conversion program, and this Las Vegas-built GT500 is one of the results. Here is the story behind the badge.

And don’t forget the essential USB plug for your road trip playlists. Buckle up; it’s going to be a wild ride!
1967 was the year Ford stopped playing it safe with the Mustang. A wider engine bay, beefed-up frame rails, and the debut of the 390-cubic-inch GT390 package turned Ford’s pony car into a legitimate muscle car contender almost overnight. Only 13,852 GT390 fastbacks rolled off the line that year, and clean survivors get harder to find every season. Here’s what made 1967 the Mustang’s turning point.
Mike O’Toole nearly sent this Tahoe Turquoise 1966 Mustang hardtop to the junkyard before deciding to restore it instead. It’s a survivor from a model year when Ford built over 607,000 Mustangs and hardtops made up more than 80 percent of them – a production pace that helped the Mustang claim over 7 percent of the entire U.S. car market. Here’s what made 1966 such a pivotal year for Ford’s pony car.
