Loyal viewers have seen this ‘72 Gremlin X before, but today, we’re driving it.
We first featured this purple 1972 AMC Gremlin X in our Muscle Car and Corvette Nationals show coverage, so you’re not seeing double. There are times when we’ve featured cars from The Brothers Collection at events when we couldn’t shoot them in motion, so when we had the chance to wheel this little 304 V8 powered X-box around a bit, we decided to hav...

Ford hit a home-run when they launched the ranchero back in 1957, and the popular
car / truck became a staple for businesses and individuals alike. We think it’s cool that some seriously high performance versions slipped out, like this ‘70 built with a 429 Super Cobra Jet and a Drag Pack!
What was intended to be a utilitarian, personalized pick-em-up truck, sometimes ended up being the hottest car on the street. And while hig...

2 seats, 6 speeds, 10 cylinders, 645 HP, and one big - - wing can only mean one thing… the Dodge Viper GTC / ACR American Club Racer edition.
Yeah, the 2017 Dodge Viper is a sports car and not a Muscle Car, but we hope you don’t mind going along for the ride on this one. 2017 marked the end of a 25 year run for the 2-seat, 10 cylinder super coupe, even though it took a few years off along the way. But Dodge didn’t just l...

When Chevrolet decided to enter the world of Trans Am racing with the new ‘67 Z/28, the choice was black and white!
The SCCA Trans Am road racing series was a hot competition in the late 1960s, and participating manufacturers were required to sell consumer-level versions of any car allowed to race in Trans Am. Chevrolet’s entrant was the new for 1967 Camaro, aimed straight at the Ford Mustang, which had been the playground bully...

It’s loaded with hot performance parts, but it’s a factory built Mustang Racer!
The 2000 Ford Mustang SVT Cobra R is not just regular Mustang with a wing and a set of wheels. Oh no, buddy. The Cobra R was completely engineered with hand picked parts to be a great performer on the street or track.
While the stock Mustang GT was powered by a 4.6 liter V8 and remained true to the same basic formula since it’s introduction, th...

By 1967, the baby boomers were starting to have families of their own, and big, full-size cars like Ford Galaxies were flying off the showroom floors by the hundreds of thousands. Performance car enthusiasts now had a variety of smaller, powerful pony cars to choose from, like the Ford Mustang and Chevrolet Camaro. And while Ford offered high-performance versions of it’s full-size family cars for years, the sales numbers of th...

1968 was the second year for the Pontiac Firebird, a car originally marketed to compete in the still fairly-new Pony car segment started by the insanely popular Ford Mustang. All the American OEs jumped on the bandwagon, and Pontiac’s Firebird was intended to be a bit more upscale to compete with other luxury pony car entries like the Mercury Cougar. The lesson here is that fast cars can look unassuming and still be potent perf...

Some people consider the Chevrolet El Camino to be somewhat of a novelty item, especially in the SS versions. Originally built as a competitor to Ford’s original “mini truck” - the Ranchero - the ElCamino served dutifully to those who needed a helping hand carrying small payloads but didn’t need , or want, a pickup regular pickup truck. But this one is the real deal when it comes to performance, style, and yes… practicality!

1971 saw a completely new Dodge Charger. Out was the long, sharp, boxy Charger and “in” was the new curvier model for ‘71. The new design featured a more pronounced long nose / short deck look, and although it was about 2 inches shorter than the 68-70 model, it was also wider than it’s predecessor. The design remains controversial, with the interestingly up-swept pillarless side window design and fastback-ish rear roofline. ...

It’s 1965, and the family is shopping for a new car. Dad is torn between the sharp new full size Fords, with their angular design and new suspension systems. However, he’s been a Pontiac man for years, and the entire Pontiac line had just been awarded Motor Trend’s Car of The Year! It’s a tough choice, especially when he learns that the Ford Galaxie and the Pontiac Catalina can both be had with the hottest engines of the da...

Modern Corvettes are known as sleek, powerful machines with an equal dose of speed and style. But back in the early days of production, the Corvette was an oddity… a neat looking car built with new composite construction technology, but seriously underpowered by a straight-six engine, and a wobbly suspension system that was far from confidence inspiring. But thankfully, all that would change.
For the first two years of produc...

1969 was the first year for the Pontiac Firebird Trans Am model, which took the basic Firebird platform and pushed it towards the moon in both style and performance. There are lots of things to like about these cars, and this particular car has ‘em all.
The most obvious difference between a base model Firebird and the racy Trans Am is the styling. Pontiac designers added all the right elements in all the right places to ...

We normally don’t associate high-performance 1960s cars with having 4 doors, but we also don’t see many 1960s 4-door sedans powered by high-compression, dual-quad fed 427s with 4-speed hanging on them from the factory! Well this is just such a machine.
And we have to correct ourselves already… we called this one a “Custom 300” in the intro, but in fact, Ford’s low-price entry in the full size field was just named the 300 for 19...

There were about 80 Dodge Darts factory upfitted with the 426 Hemi V8 back in 1968, and this one is a very well known example. Mickey Weise started off drag racing a big-block Camaro back in the day, but when the 426 Hemi cars were passing him at the big end of the drag strip, he eventually made the move to Dodge, first in a bigger ‘65 A990, and finally taking over his partner’s ‘68 Hemi Dart that we see here today.

A car so hot, it came with a warning letter!
We take modern car reliability for granted, but back when this ‘67 Fairlane was new, Ford actually included a letter to the new owner stating that this monster wasn’t intended for highway or general passenger car use!
The mid 60s saw the light weight Galaxies racing in superstock, aerodynamic Galaxies competing on NASCAR speedways, Shelby Cobras and GT 350s winning on road race trac...
