Latest Muscle Car Of The Week Episodes

The "K" in the 5th VIN position has special meaning to early Mustang fans, and this 1966 version is a perfect example of why! The K code cars featured not only the 271 HP 289 V8, they also rode on a performance suspension system. We take a look at a Signal Flare Red K-Code from the Brothers Collection to learn more.

http://www.musclecaroftheweek.com - This week, we take a look at 1/12 of the total production of 1970 Dodge Challenger convertibles built with the 426 Hemi V8.    Of the 12, 9 were US cars, with the other three built for export.    This is one of the nicest restorations in the Brothers Collection, and that is saying a lot!

This week, we move off the mark from the typical Muscle Car into the world of mid 1960's luxury sedans, only to find that this 1 of 3 ever built 1965 Ford Galaxie 500 LTD is sporting an 427 for power!    The high-compression, dual-quad side-oiler V8 is coupled to a 4-speed transmission and a 4.11:1 rear gear, making this car one of the most comfortable drag racers ever built!    This luxo-liner LTD is one of the many unique rides in the Brothers Collection.

Stan Antlocer V8 Radio Interview

In this episode, we share the entire interview with Stan Antlocer, former driver and owner of the "World's Fastest Pontiac Tempest".    We featured Stan and the Tempest in a Muscle Car Of The Week video, but this V8 Radio podcast contains all the stories from the full interview.    To say Stan has been around the block a few times is an understatement... we're fortunate he shared some of his stories with us.

This week, we're showcasing a Bright Gold Metallic 1970 Ford Mustang BOSS 302.   This is one of the high-revving "hybrid" engine cars which resulted from the homologation rules of Trans Am racing, which dictated the automakers needed to make a street version of the cars raced in Trans Am.   This meant the 302 cube V8 that was built from a Windsor block and topped with Cleveland heads needed to be readily available to the public.   Add to that the low-slung suspension, high-impact graphics, and other performance touches and you have a hot performer that was great fun to drive.   From the Brothers Collection.

This week, we take a closer look at one of the high points of Corvette style and power with this 1969 Chevrolet Corvette roadster featuring the 435 HP L71 427 V8 under the hood.   This beautiful Daytona Yellow 4-speed Corvette is nearly all original, and is showing just over 30,000 miles on the odometer.    Even the original analog clock still works!    It's an amazing car from the Brothers Collection.

This week, we have a special episode of Muscle Car Of The Week featuring an exclusive interview with Stan Antlocer, former owner / driver of the 1963 Stan Long Pontiac Super Duty Tempest.    This car was known in Super Stock A/FX racing as the "World's Fastest Tempest" and was a record holder.    It is one of the 6 lightweight factory built cars made.   Today, the car is completely restored, and we reunited Antlocer with the 421-powered monster after he last saw it back in 1964.    It is one of the many vintage race cars in the Brothers Collection.
