Latest Muscle Car Of The Week Episodes

We like the volumes of comments we receive about our Muscle Car Of The Week videos, and this week, we're taking a few moments to respond to some of the recent feedback.    We're also taking the opportunity to promote the Muscle Car and Corvette Nationals show (MCACN) this November in Rosemont, IL.   http://www.mcacn.com

This week, we're not bringing you a tire-shredding monster of a Muscle Car, but it is a pretty cool car from the height of the Muscle Car era.   It's a base-model 1969 Barracuda, sporting a mild 318 with a 4-barrel and and an automatic transmission.   However, it's wearing a Mod Top and interior option... something that makes this little Barracuda worthy of a moment in the sun of it's own.    It may not be the fastest in the fleet, but it is one of the more distinctive cars in the Brothers Collection.

Back in 1964, Super Stock drag racing racing was one of the hottest things going, and people loved the competition and energy of stock-appearing cars going much faster than normal.    The next evolution was Factory Experimental, a class that allowed manufacturers to get a little crazier with performance parts and special pieces in cars that still appeared similar to what was for sale in local showrooms.   This 1964 Mercury Comet is an A/FX car, one of 21 built, and it still retains all the "experimental" speed parts that it wore back in '64, like the 425 HP high-riser 427 and all the fiberglass body panels.

http://www.musclecaroftheweek.com - The 'Cuda was new for 1970,  and the Chrysler engineers made sure the platform would handle the super-sized 426 Hemi V8.    This one is doused in T5 Tor-Red with a black vinyl top and black stripes, but if the stunning looks don't get you, the 425 HP dual-quad Hemi will.   From the Brothers Collection.

This week, we check out a full-house 1970 Pontiac GTO Judge Convertible that sports the 370 HP Ram Air IV 400 V8 and a 4-speed Muncie transmission.  It's a fantastic example of a car that was ordered with all the "goodies", and it is believed to be one of 6 ever made.   The Brothers Collection is home to some spectacular Pontiacs, this one is near the top of the list!

This is one of the more unusual cars in the Brothers Collection, a Lime Gold 1967 Ford LTD XL featuring a factory installed 425 HP R-Code 427 and 4-speed manual transmission.    There were only a handful of these cars ordered in this configuration, and we share the details in this video shot at the 2014 Muscle Car and Corvette Nationals in Chicago.
