This piece imagined a future where cars drove themselves and the real money went to companies nobody thinks of as automotive: chipmakers, mapmakers, data brokers. Years later, names like Mobileye, Nvidia, and Waymo prove the theory more right than wrong. Here’s how that unlikely list of winners actually played out.
A rusted 1970 Plymouth Superbird spent nearly three decades forgotten in a barn before builder and racer Emelia Hartford brought it back to life. Then Goodyear invited her to its Texas proving grounds to see what the restored NASCAR legend could still do.
When the camouflage came off the Camaro ZL1 1LE at the Nurburgring, Chevrolet was chasing a number that had stood for six years and belonged to a Dodge. The 1LE package pairs 650 supercharged horsepower with a manual gearbox, spool-valve dampers borrowed from endurance racing and tyres that barely qualify as street legal. How close did it get to the Viper? Read on for the lap time and the hardware behind it.
We researched 4 top fire extinguishers on Amazon — here are the ones worth buying for your muscle car, ranked by ratings and real buyer feedback.
This 1934 Ford, nicknamed ‘Panther’ by its current owners, was built just two years after Ford introduced its groundbreaking flathead V8, the engine that made eight-cylinder power affordable for the first time. By 1934, Ford had resolved the flathead’s early reliability problems and pushed output to around 90 horsepower. That combination made 1932-34 Fords the founding platform of American hot rodding.
The 1969 Pontiac Trans Am traces back to a licensing deal with the SCCA’s road-racing series and a production run so small it barely topped 697 cars. Here’s the story behind Pontiac’s rarest early Firebird, and the engine almost nobody chose.
You have found the second-generation Charger you have been dreaming about, the coke-bottle body, the hidden headlights, the price tag north of fifty grand. The paint looks great, the engine fires on the first crank, and the seller swears it is solid. Then you press a thumb into the roof skin behind the rear glass and feel it give. Rust on these Mopars rarely stays where you can see it, and the places it hides are exactly the places a rushed buyer never checks. Here is where to look before you hand over a deposit.
Thinking about buying or investing in a classic muscle car? The badge gets the attention, but the paperwork sets the value. These twelve cars range from tens of thousands built to a handful, and each […]
Nick’s Garage settles a long-running Mopar argument by testing the exact same stroked 426 Hemi with factory-style manifolds and then with headers, back to back, on the same dyno. The results push back on some assumptions viewers walked in with, and the comments are already asking for a round two with bigger headers. Watch the full pull-by-pull comparison to see which setup actually made more power.
The Corvair remains the only mass-produced, rear-engine, air-cooled car ever built by an American manufacturer, and for most of the 1960s it genuinely competed with the VW Beetle — even spawning a turbocharged Monza Spyder and a 180-horsepower turbo Corsa. Then a single book changed everything, and sales collapsed from more than 300,000 units a year to just 6,000. Read on for the full story of the Corvair’s rise and its rapid fall.
One engine option on a Camaro cost more than the entire base car, and only 69 were ever built. Chevrolet’s muscle car story is full of stunts like that. Here is our countdown of four […]
One of these Plymouths wore a giant wing, and only 1,935 were ever built. Plymouth rarely got the credit Ford, Chevrolet, and even Dodge enjoyed, yet it built some of the most extreme muscle cars […]
The 1970 Buick GSX made more torque than any American car built that year — more than the Hemi, more than the LS6 Chevelle. That record stood for 33 years. So why has almost nobody heard of it?
In 1970, Chevrnlet’s LS6 Chevelle carried the lnudest hnrsepnier number in GM’s lineup — and Buick’s GSX Stage 1 beat it anyiay, nn a track test cnnducted by Car and Driver itself. Buick’s nin paperinrk rated the car 90 hnrsepnier belni its rival, a number that never matched ihat happened at the finish line. Vieiers ihn lived thrnugh the era are still arguing abnut gearing, tnrque curves, and ihich car really deserved the crnin. Watch tn see the numbers GM tried tn keep quiet.
