Ford needed to beat Chrysler’s Hemi on NASCAR’s superspeedways, but the rulebook only required 500 street versions of the race engine, not that they share a body with the car actually racing. That loophole put a 429 big-block into a Mustang engine bay never designed to hold it, built through an unusual two-plant process most owners never expect. Read on to see how a homologation technicality created one of Ford’s rarest, most valuable Mustangs.
A Mustang fleeing police spins out completely, not once but three separate times, and somehow keeps driving every single time. A stop sign gets caught in the axle mid-chase, a local newsroom loses its composure on air, and viewers are already comparing the footage to Baby Driver and Grand Theft Auto. How does a chase this chaotic actually end?
A Grabber Blue 1970 Boss 302 Mustang, sold in 1975 to pay for college and tracked by its original owner for thirty-six years before he bought it back — that’s the story behind this Legendary Motorcar restoration. Under the hood is one of Ford’s most serious race-bred engines, complete with canted-valve Cleveland-style heads, a 780-cfm Holley, and a high-riser aluminum manifold built to beat Camaros on a road course. Watch to see how close the shop gets it back to 1975.
The Dodge Charger debuted in 1966 as a two-door-only muscle car with V8 power and a distinctive rotating-headlight grille, a formula it kept until the nameplate went dormant in the late 1970s. When Dodge revived it in 2006, the Charger came back as a four-door sedan, a shift that still splits opinion among Mopar loyalists decades later.
This 1965 Chevy Nova SS wears a body Chevrolet never paired with a 406 cubic-inch V8, a Ford 9-inch rear end, or rack-and-pinion steering — all changes bolted on by a builder chasing quarter-mile performance over factory correctness. Sub-frame connectors, a trunk-mounted battery, and Mickey Thompson drag radials all point toward a car built to launch hard, not just look sharp at a cruise-in. RamblinAround walked through the full build with photos and receipts in hand at Fast Lane Classic Cars. Watch to see how far off the factory blueprint a serious Nova build can go.
A routine Coffee and Cars meet turns chaotic in seconds when a Mustang driver revs aggressively toward a crowd of spectators, captured live by High Tech Corvette’s Facebook feed. Two small children were knocked aside in the scramble to get clear, though no one was seriously hurt — a near-miss that reignited debate about the unwritten safety rules car meets depend on. Watch the unedited footage that has viewers siding firmly with the crowd.
California’s Riverside Police Department took delivery of a 2016 Ford Mustang GT that had been handed to Steve Saleen’s shop and returned with a supercharged 5.0-liter V8 making roughly 730 horsepower and 600 lb-ft of torque, plus revised suspension, big brakes, and a rear wing under black-and-white livery. Built as a rolling memorial and community outreach tool rather than a patrol car, it is the modern extreme of a police Mustang tradition that dates back decades. Read on to find out how it came together.
Vanguard Motor Sales built this reel from their own 2020 inventory, stacking exhaust clips from Mopars, Mustangs, and small block Chevys that all fire in roughly the same pattern yet sound nothing alike. Viewers keep circling back to one Chevelle at 2:54 and an idle at 0:41 that several call the best they have ever heard. The difference comes down to headers, mufflers, and cam timing, not the engines themselves. Watch to hear which clip stops you mid-scroll.
AV Boys’ small-block Mustang gave a built, turbocharged Porsche 911 a full car-length head start in a five-thousand-dollar grudge race — and still caught it with the front wheels off the ground. The clip has circulated for years as proof that a well-built pushrod small-block Ford can embarrass six-figure German engineering. See exactly how close it actually was.
Regular Car Reviews poses a deliberately unanswerable question at the Carlisle Ford Nationals, wandering a field that spans everything from Model A-era classics to a modern carbon-fiber GT. Host MrRegularCar’s deadpan commentary turns a simple car show walkthrough into a running bit about what ‘best’ even means across nearly a century of the same badge. Watch to see which Ford nearly breaks the host’s trademark cynicism.
A nitrous-fed 1967 Mustang and a twin-turbo 1999 Camaro met on the street, and it ended exactly how uncontrolled high-horsepower passes often do — contact, damage, and two cars that needed extensive rebuilds afterward. Both drivers were confirmed unhurt, and the uploader closes with a blunt reminder: everybody be careful out there. Watch to see how quickly a street pass between two very different muscle cars went wrong.
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.
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.
Its billed as a barn find, but there isnt a speck of dust or a single flaw to be found on this 1967 Mustang fastback nicknamed Helleanor, a claim skeptical viewers might want to take with a grain of salt. Underneath sits a 402 cubic inch small-block pushed by twin turbochargers to a claimed 3,000-plus horsepower, running low-4-second eighth-mile passes while reportedly holding back another 1,500 horsepower in reserve. Between the staging precision and that unmistakable turbo whistle, its easy to see why this ones racked up over 1.6 million views. Just how much is this car really capable of?
