A 740-horsepower supercharged LS3 Corvette lines up against a 770-horsepower supercharged Coyote Mustang, and the extra 30 horsepower isnt the whole story. RedmaroProductions captures a tight, hard-fought pass where shift timing and driver execution end up mattering as much as the numbers on paper. Comments erupted over which side needed the driver mod more, keeping the decades-old GM-versus-Ford rivalry alive at the strip. Who actually crossed the stripe first?
This 1965 Ford Mustang 2+2 Fastback rolls out with its rare factory red pony interior intact, a concours-style restoration, and a long list of original options most surviving 1965 cars lost decades ago. The team at MyRod walks through exactly what makes this fastback a reference-quality example rather than just another restored classic. Watch the full test drive to see what is actually loaded onto this car.
KFLY67’s tour of a sprawling Oregon junkyard has racked up nearly half a million views, and the comments do more identifying than the video’s own description ever attempts — a red Chevelle worth real money, a misidentified California Special Mustang, and a four-speed ’66 Chevelle buried among roughly 600 other cars. Watch to see what regional enthusiasts have already spotted for themselves.
Ford gave the Mustang II one final send-off in 1978, borrowing styling straight from its biggest rival to create the rarest trim of the whole generation. The King Cobra combined Trans Am-inspired graphics with a genuine 302 V8, a factory air dam unique to the model, and a fully-equipped price that pushed past $6,000. Read on to find out how one six-Mustang-II collector still had to go hunting for the one trim missing from his garage.
There is a very specific sound that still turns heads on quiet streets more than sixty years after Detroit built the cars that made it, and an entire American car culture grew up around chasing that exact reaction. From the quarter-mile drag strip to Woodward Avenue’s nightly cruising ritual, the appeal was never really about spec sheets alone. Read on to find out how insurance surcharges, oil shortages, and shifting regulations nearly ended the era entirely, and why it came roaring back anyway.
A vintage 1970 Dodge Challenger R/T commercial has quietly become a cult favorite for reasons that have little to do with horsepower: a blustering, law-enforcement bit built around a Southern sheriff that viewers now recognize as an eerie preview of Buford T. Justice, seven years before Smokey and the Bandit made the archetype famous. Behind the joke sits a genuinely serious muscle car, available with everything from a 383 Magnum up to the 426 Hemi. Watch the full spot to see where the joke started.
Ford quietly developed the 428 Cobra Jet under a program called “Cougar-Mustang Performance Car” starting in late 1966, and when it finally hit dealer lots in April 1968 it turned an already popular pony car into a genuine drag strip weapon almost overnight. Only 1,299 Mustangs got the option that year out of roughly 317,000 built. Read on to find out how a mid-year engine swap changed the Mustang’s reputation forever.
Two guys running a small restoration shop in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho spent years hunting down original parts for a Mustang most people would have finished with reproductions. The payoff: a numbers-matching 1970 Mach 1 in Grabber Orange with a 428 Cobra Jet under its shaker hood, sold for ninety-nine thousand dollars at Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale. Owner Jack Scanlon has had the car since 2010. What convinced two restorers a thousand miles from the usual parts networks that this build was worth doing right?
Ford revived the Boss 302 name for just two model years, 2012 and 2013, building a Mustang with a carbon-fiber-plate limited-slip differential, shock absorbers adjustable with a flathead screwdriver, and an aero package borrowed directly from the Boss 302R race car. The rarer Laguna Seca edition added Recaro seats and its own suspension tuning. Read on to find out what separates the two model years at a glance.
A 1969 428 Cobra Jet Mustang Mach 1 sat untouched in a basement for 28 years, emerging with just 41,525 original miles, its factory tires still in the trunk, and a sealed bag of unused headlight adapters Tommy Higgins has already turned down $2,500 for. Documentation includes the original bill of sale, build sheet, and a confirming Marti Report. Read on to find out what else survived nearly three decades of dust.
Car #180 is one of only 34 Shelby GT350R competition coupes ever built, and under driver Tommy Hamilton it won International Conference championships in 1967 and five west coast titles in 1968 — more than 40 race wins across two seasons. Decades later, a comment from Hamilton’s own son turned this video’s technical debate about horsepower and dyno numbers into something far more personal. Watch to see why this particular Shelby still means so much to the people who remember it racing.
Ford’s 2018 Mustang refresh did more than reshuffle the sheet metal in response to a sharpened new Camaro. The GT quietly inherited a twin-disc clutch, suspension hardware, and Magnetic Ride Control straight off the Shelby GT350’s parts shelf, turning what looked like a mid-cycle facelift into a genuinely better driver’s car. Read on to see exactly what Ford borrowed from its own halo model.
Filmed at Quebec’s Sanair Dragway in October 2007, this quarter-mile pass sends a rare 1971 Ford Boss 351 Mustang, powered by the high-revving 351 Cleveland, against a modern 505-horsepower Corvette Z06. Commenters dig into why the Cleveland’s canted-valve heads made this one of Detroit’s most underrated factory drag engines. Watch to see whether decades-old engineering can still claw back a win against modern horsepower.
For five years the Shelby GT500 nameplate sat dormant while rivals kept shipping ever-more-powerful factory monsters. Then camouflaged prototypes started turning up at Virginia International Raceway wearing a roll cage and a leaked oil spec sheet that hinted at serious horsepower. Read on to find out what those spy photos gave away, and how the finished car compared to the speculation.
