There are many different interesting aspects behind the 1970 Yenko Deuce Nova,  and we've explored some of these on previous episodes of Muscle Car Of The Week. If memory serves, we featured and orange one and a blue one from The Brothers Collection on our show, but today, we're taking a look a bright sunflower yellow example of this - as then described - “mini muscle car”.

At first glance, it appears to be a clean white 1971 Pontiac GTO convertible. Notice the wing and stripes… it’s not just a GTO, it’s The Judge! And a convertible! Pontiac fans are starting to tremble… because this is one of just 17 1971 GTO convertibles ever built with The Judge package. From The Brothers Collection.

This week, we take a look back at the top 10 quickest Muscle Cars as reported by various car magazines from 1970! These aren't OUR recorded numbers, but those published by the media back in 1970. We're pairing those times up with an example of a similar car in The Brothers Collection.

Bobby Unser 1969 Torino

 

 

Welcome to the 200th episode of Muscle Car Of The Week! For this special presentation, we’re sharing an exclusive interview with 3-time Indy 500 winner Bobby Unser recorded at the 2016 Muscle Car and Corvette Nationals (MCACN) in Chicago featuring the amazing 1969 Ford Torino Pike’s Peak racer he drove to victory in 1969. The legendary cast of characters in the story includes Bunkie Knudsen, Smokey Yunick, Bill Stroppe, Holman & Moody, and many others, and Unser tells the fascinating story as if it happened yesterday. The car is a purpose-built stock car built by Bill Stroppe and Holman & Moody and is powered by a Smokey Yunick built Boss 429. Unser had not seen the car since ‘69, but he was surprised to learn that the car remains in as-raced condition today. He went on to share many stories of racing in general, and how to be a winner not only on the track but also in life, and a great recollection of a huge party after a winning snowmobile racing season! The display was a huge hit at the Muscle Car and Corvette Nationals, and the car is a very special piece of racing history in the Brothers Collection. Enjoy the show, and thanks for watching Muscle Car Of The Week!

The early 1960s saw American automakers building some very special and very limited editions of production models that appeared to be stock, but were hiding some tricks to make them race-ready.   This 1962 Chevrolet Impala Z11 is just such a car.  A factory-built lightweight racer, this car features a high-performance 409 engine and aluminum body panels to reduce weight.    The restoration was debuted by Jim Mattison at the Muscle Car and Corvette Nationals in Chicago.  
 
The Muscle Car and Corvette Nationals coverage is presented by The Brothers Collection and Reliable Carriers, Inc.
