Joe Martin spent seven seasons on Iron Resurrection finishing cars that belonged to somebody else. His own buildings hold a Buick Riviera, a Pontiac Catalina, a 1956 pickup, a speedboat and one all-aluminum Ferrari 360 – and not one of them is parked there because of a number on a fender tag. Here is what a real builder keeps when nobody is filming.
8-Ball is a 1965 Mustang coupe that has been rebuilt front to back on camera – everything except the engine. When that finally let go, the replacement was a 331 stroker bought off Facebook Marketplace and advertised at 500 horsepower. Here is what a used-parts swap actually looks like when 1.4 million people are watching.
David Freiburger’s 1970 Dodge Super Bee sat filthy in a barn for 36 years before he finally rescued the exact car he’d been chasing since he was a teenager.

Watch to see just how much thirty-six years of neglect really left behind.
Mercury wrapped the 1970 Cyclone’s nose around a gunsight-style grille built to counter Chrysler’s winged NASCAR cars, backed by a 429 Super Cobra Jet rated near 375 horsepower.

Spring doesn’t just mean pulling the cover off a Corvette and turning the key — a dry start after months in storage can scuff a cam or starve a bearing before the car even leaves the garage.

Here’s what’s actually in the package, why the 480-horsepower Coyote V8 still ships with a real manual, and why commenters are ordering the exact spec after one YouTube walkaround.
