V8TV’s “Muscle Car of the Week” spotlights a Rally Red 1970 Plymouth ‘Cuda AAR — the numbers-matching, 340 Six-Barrel-powered homologation special built for exactly one model year. Housed today in The Brothers Collection, this AAR carries the tighter steering ratio and unmistakable strobe stripe that set it apart from every other ‘Cuda on the road. Watch to see why collectors call it the sharpest example they’ve found.
Chevrolet built only 201 examples of the 1965 Chevelle Malibu SS Z16, and this Rally Red survivor may be one of an estimated 65 still around today. Under the hood sits the 375-horsepower L37 396, a detuned cousin of the Corvette’s L78, backed by a Muncie four-speed and an options list — tilt wheel, four-speaker stereo, 160-mph speedometer — that reads more like a luxury package than a muscle car spec sheet. One commenter even claims to own car number 40 of the original 201. Watch to see what made the Z16 Chevrolet’s quiet halo car.
