Latest Muscle Car Of The Week Episodes
1964 Ford Galaxie 500 427 4-Speed R-Code V8TV: Muscle Car Of The Week Video Episode #190
This is one of those cars that sets your imagination on fire. A long, Raven black ‘64 Ford Galaxie 500 that glistens like a prize fighter in the ring, with a heart just as big. Ford was good at building big and comfy family cars, but they also did a heck of a job stripping them down into racing versions, like our R-code version with it’s 425 HP 427 powerplant. From The Brothers Collection.
1971 Mercury Cougar 429 Cobra Jet 4-Speed Convertible: Muscle Car Of The Week Video Episode #189
Mercury made 16 or so special '71 Cougar 429 Cobra Jet 4-speed convertibles that were used as publicity cars to create a buzz for the new model. They were all painted Metallic Blue with white tops and interiors, and this surviving specimen lives in The Brothers Collection.
1964 Ford Fairlane 427 Thunderbolt: Muscle Car Of The Week Video Episode #188
The car-buying public thought differently of racing in the early 1960s, and the American automakers knew that cars that won races were great tools to drive customers to dealer showrooms. You know the old saying, what “won on Sunday sold on Monday”,
This 1964 Ford Thunderbolt from The Brothers Collection is a great example of such a machine, a car that still looked recognizable to the masses as a new 1964 Fairlane, but had the chops to get the job done in Super Stock drag racing.
A lightweight chassis and tons of power make this 427 Ford Thunderbolt an awesome Muscle Car Of The Week from The Brothers Collection!
The Best Of The Worst: Muscle Car Of The Week Video Episode #187
Yep, not everything goes as planned.
1970 Plymouth Cuda Convertible 440 4-Speed: Muscle Car Of The Week Video Episode #186
All added up, there were 12 440 six barrel Cuda convertibles built with an automatic transmission, and just 17 came with the heavy duty 4-speed manual gearbox like our example here. It’s not quite as rare as the Hemi cars, but any time you have an extremely low production car that has awesome power, stunning good looks, and a folding top, you’ve got a winner.
1967 Chevrolet Corvette 427 Roadster : Muscle Car Of The Week Video Episode #185
Some say one way to characterize a high performance engine is to compare the ratio of it’s output in horsepower versus the volume of its displacement in cubic inches. Anything over 1 horsepower per cube and you’ve got yourself a high-perf machine. Our ‘67 Corvette Roadster sure looks the part, but how does it measure up? Check this one out from The Brothers Collection.
1971 Buick GS 455 Stage 1 Automatic Convertible: Muscle Car Of The Week Video Episode #184
The versatile GM “A” body platform allowed Buick to build a wide variety of cars that shared the same basic backbone and DNA, ranging from meek 6-cylinder 4-doors and post-coupes up through fully loaded luxury station wagons and convertibles. This 1971 Buick GS 455 Stage 1 convertible is the recipient of some of the best Buick had to offer in ‘71, featuring the highest levels of power, style, and comfort all wrapped up in one sinister triple-black convertible.
