Tom Cotter’s Barn Find Hunter tracked down a numbers-matching 1954 Chevrolet Corvette and its original Blue Flame Six engine, tucked into a collection that also holds a 1970 Buick GS Stage 1 convertible, a big-block El Camino, and a warehouse of dusty Italian sports cars including an ASA 1000 GT nicknamed the “baby Ferrari.” Few barn find episodes cover this much ground in one visit. Watch to see what else Cotter uncovers.
This full-size cruiser got a near-total redesign for 1960, sharing only its roof and trunk lid with the previous year’s model. Buick built it around a 364 cubic inch V8 offered in three different tunes, topping out at 300 horsepower with the four-barrel Power Pack option. More than 150,000 rolled off the line that year alone. Did you guess the year, make, and model?
Every muscle car crowd loves a good debate, and Hot or Not photo posts like this one never fail to deliver. With no year, make, or model attached, this glossy red classic has to win or lose the argument purely on looks: stance, color, chrome, and proportion. It is a reminder that the communitys eye for what counts as a genuine head-turner is anything but universal.
Motor Trend gathered eight of Detroit’s newest performance cars for a single comparison test, and one entry completely upended what the rest of the segment was trying to be. Every other car in that lineup had spent years adding comfort and insulation on top of a potent engine. Plymouth’s Road Runner did the opposite, stripping everything back and betting that buyers wanted less. The magazine’s verdict is still quoted today, but the timing slips underneath the praise told a more complicated story. Read on for what the numbers actually said.
A dusty 1971 Plymouth Barracuda pulled from obscurity by the MyMopar.com forum turns out to be far rarer than it looks, a genuine 383 two-barrel Gran Coupe, one of only 161 built that year. Wearing its factory Curious Yellow paint and original hood scoops, the car has forum regulars already debating its next chapter. The community-driven rescue story behind it says as much about Mopar culture as the car itself. Commenters are already lining up to ask what happens next.
The triple-carb 440 under this Cuda’s hood was not a casual option. Plymouth built barely 1,700-some of them in 1970, split between four-speed and automatic cars. Here is what made the 440 Six Pack such a rare and serious performance package, and why guessing its value takes more than eyeballing the sheet metal.
Nearly two decades before airbags became mandatory, General Motors quietly built and sold them, first on government fleet cars, then as a factory option across four full-size luxury nameplates. Here is the surprisingly early and short-lived story of GM’s Air Cushion Restraint System, and why the technology vanished from showrooms for almost twenty years.
This red Trans Am looks like any other mid-’70s Pontiac at first glance, but 1974 was the year Pontiac quietly offered one of its rarest and most serious engines: the hand-built SD-455. Only 943 cars left the factory with it. Here’s what made the Super Duty 455 special, and how to spot the styling details that pin this car to its exact model year.
Barrett-Jackson’s first Northeast auction at Mohegan Sun sold out on opening day, so for its second year, the company added an extra day, a new concours event, and a deeper lineup of collector cars. Here’s what the expanded 2017 event actually delivered, from the final sales total to the Ride ‘N Drives that let fans test-drive new muscle cars between bids.
This red Charger is a 1968 model, the year Dodge completely reworked the car’s fastback shape into the coke-bottle, flying-buttress body that’s instantly recognizable today. The redesign worked — sales jumped roughly sixfold over the outgoing model, with about 96,100 built for the year. Order the R/T package and buyers got a standard 440 Magnum V8, with the fabled 426 Hemi available for those who wanted more.
This driveway shot captures a 1966 Pontiac GTO, the year the GTO graduated from an options package on the Tempest to a model of its own. Buyers who ticked the box for the 389 cubic-inch Tri-Power engine got 360 horsepower, helping make 1966 the GTO’s best sales year yet. See if you can spot the details that give away the year before reading on.
In just eighteen months, Ford transformed the full-size Galaxie from a family-oriented sedan into a NASCAR-chasing fastback packing a conservatively rated 425 horsepower. A mid-year roofline change and a top-shelf 406-cubic-inch V8 rewrote what a full-size Ford could be. Read on to find out how the 63-and-a-half Galaxie earned its nickname and its reputation on the track.
A supercharger punching through the hood of this orange ‘Cuda is daring onlookers to guess both the year and just how much power is hiding underneath. If this is the 1969 model, it landed the year the ‘Cuda package became Plymouth’s most serious pony car statement, with factory V8s already reaching 375 horsepower before anyone added a blower.
A sun-drenched restoration photo with no badges in sight is daring muscle car fans to name the year and engine hiding under the hood. This nameplate saw a major style refresh and an option-package shakeup in a single model year, while its engine lineup ranged from a mild 325-horsepower V8 to a 425-horsepower COPO sleeper most buyers never even knew existed.
