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.
Only a handful of cars in history ever left a Dodge factory wearing both a towering rear wing and a 426 Hemi under the hood, and Tom Lembeck owns one of them. The Charger Daytona was not built to look fast at a car show; it was built because Dodge was losing on Sunday and needed something drastic. Read on to find out what Dodge was really trying to prove, and why so few Hemi versions exist.
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. In this installment, decades of accumulated grime finally comes off before reassembly around a budget 440 he already built and dyno-tested. Watch to see just how much thirty-six years of neglect really left behind.
A 25,444-mile odometer reading sounds impossible for a car built in 1973, but this single-family-owned Monte Carlo backs it up with genuine, untouched originality. Chevrolet’s award-winning personal luxury coupe set sales records that year, and this example shows exactly what one looked like before five decades of wear ever had a chance to happen. Read on to find out what makes a true survivor different from a great restoration.
Hudsons Rod and Customs is refreshing a 1957 Chevrolet pickup that already wears the shop’s own logo, a client’s truck serving double duty as a rolling advertisement. An LS swap is planned for reliability, while a temporary Cadillac-sourced leather interior holds things over until a fully custom cabin gets built. Watch to see what a custom shop chooses to change on its own showcase vehicle.
Stock-motor, stock-turbo quarter-mile racing is a surprisingly competitive corner of the Porsche 911 world, where a handful of tenths separates casual bragging rights from an actual record. This twin-turbo 911 leans on nitrous and drag radials rather than internal engine work to chase that record — a very different game than the heavily built cars dominating the outright quarter-mile books.
A 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle built by a shop called Backyard Specialties runs a supercharged Kong Performance LSX rated anywhere from 750 to 900 horsepower — nearly double the factory LS6’s 450. The build rides on a Speedtech Performance chassis engineered decades after the body ever left Chevrolet’s factory.
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. The designer behind that face was fired within weeks of the car reaching dealers, and the real NASCAR homologation story is messier than the nose lets on.
