Latest Muscle Car Of The Week Episodes
1969 Hurst SC/Rambler Muscle Car Of The Week Video #71
The American Motors Corporation was known for building reliable, lower-priced cars targeted towards families and those seeking basic transportation. But when you combine a lightweight economy car with a potent V8, you have the recipe for an outstanding performer. This was the case with the 1969 Hurst SC/Rambler, a car built in conjunction with Hurst Performance to be a drag strip terror and look cool doing it! The SC/Rambler boasted a 315 HP 390 cube V8, a T10 4-speed, 3.54:1 gears, and other performance tricks like a complete lack of options, subframe connectors, rolled fender lips, staggered shocks, and Thrush mufflers. This little Super Car rocked and advertised 14.2 in the quarter @ 100+ mph, all for less than $3000.00. Quite a package.
1970 Dick Harrell 454 Camaro Muscle Car Of The Week Video #70
Some Muscle Cars are cool because they came with the goods from the factory, while others are standouts because of modifications they received after leaving the line. In this case, this 1970 Camaro started life as a 350 powered SS car, but a trip to the Dick Harrell Performance Center was all it needed to be a monster Muscle Car built by one of the legends in Chevrolet racing. Add to the pedigree the fact that the car is an unrestored survivor with approximately 6000 miles on the clock, and you've got a winner in every way possible. It's one of only a handful built, and it still has the power to burn the hides at will. There are many souped-up cars in the Brothers Collection, but this Harrell car is one of the coolest!
1969 Hurst / Olds Muscle Car Of The Week Video #69
Back before 1970, GM had a mandate that limited the engine cubic inch displacements in midsize "A" body cars like the Chevelle, GTO, and Cutlass 442 to 400 cubic inches. However, George Hurst and Doc Watson were able to create a special version of the Olds 442 that broke the mold, and allowed for an Olds 455 to be installed and sold through Oldsmobile dealers. Called the Hurst / Olds, these cars came to be in 1968, and by 1969, they were widely known for their outlandish styling, fully-loaded option list, and excellent performance. This example from the Brothers Collection is an unrestored survivor, a orignal car that was driven often... the way Hurst would have wanted!
1971 Hemi 'Cuda Muscle Car Of The Week Video #68
The 1971 Hemi 'Cuda evolved slightly in design from 1970 with the addition of the fender "gills" and the revised 4-light nose and grille, but the good news is that the mighty 425 horse power 426 cubic-inch hemispherical headed V8 remained unchanged in power ratings for 1971. This version is wearing Tor-Red, a bright color that is certainly not going to be missed when trying to evade the law during late-night street competitions of speed. One of the coolest aspects of this car is that it is a largely unrestored survivor, one of only 48 automatics produced. It calls the Brothers Collection home.
1966 Chevrolet Impala Super Sport 427 4-Speed L72 Muscle Car Of The Week Video #67
The Chevrolet Impala Super Sports have always been big in size, long on style, and strong in performance. This week, we're featuring a special Super Sport... a beautiful Marina Blue 1966 Impala Super Sport featuring the new-for-'66 427 in the hottest-available L72 trim. This high-compression Turbo Jet big block was rated at 425 HP and is coupled to a close-ratio 4-speed stick transmission, and is willing to burn the tires for miles. Inside, the parchment white bucket seat interior features a full console with stacked gauges, bright chrome trim, and a high-revving tach in the dash. This car not only gets you there quickly, you arrive in comfort and style. It lives in the Brothers Collection.
1964 Ford Fairlane Sports Coupe K-Code 289 Muscle Car Of The Week Video #66
Ford built muscular versions of nearly every car they made during the 1960s, and this 1964 Fairlane 500 Sports Coupe is a great example of how they turned a hum-drum family commuter into a stylish mini-muscle car that packed a serious punch. This Sports Coupe escaped the fate of a straight 6 in favor of a Hi-Po 289 V8 screwed to a 4-speed manual box. The K-Code version churned out 271 HP through increased compression, free-breathing intake and exhaust, a solid cam, and other hop-up goodies. The added bonus is the good looks of the Sports Coupe, wearing a slick Raven Black suit with a bright red interior. Extra-cool is the fact that it is all original and unrestored. It's our Muscle Car Of The Week from the Brother's Collection.
