We have a winner in the 2018 Muscle Car Match-Ups. After a week of final-round voting, we’re ready to declare the 1968 Plymouth GTX 426 Hemi the winner. [ You can read how the voting worked and how we decided on our 1968 theme here. ] AMC put up a serious fight however. In fact,
We’re down to the Final Four in the 2018 Muscle Car Match-Ups (1968 Edition). Both the Cobra Jet Mustang and Cobra Jet Shelby GT500KR are out. There are no wrong answers, we guess, and the cars that beat them are certainly worthy of the Final Four, but we think Ford’s absence here is a
Not unlike the opening round of the NCAA men’s basketball tournament, the first round of eliminations is always brutal because you lose half the tournament field right away. And so it was with the 2018 Muscle Car Match-Ups (1968 Edition) where we are tipping our caps to our friends at Summit Racing Equipment who are
Welcome to the 2018 Muscle Car Match-Ups which we’ve dubbed the 1968 Edition. A few super-important things: 1. We know what at least some of you are thinking. “OMG. U guys r dumb! Some of these aren’t even muscle cars!! Morons!!” And you know what? You’re absolutely right. Some aren’t. Sorry. We launched Muscle Car
Somewhere, the General is smiling. No, we’re not talking about “The General” Bobby Knight, who coached Indiana University to NCAA basketball championships in 1976, 1981, and 1987. Even then, that guy wasn’t smiling. We’re referring to General Motors, which is guaranteed a victory in our 2017 Muscle Car Match-Ups (Engine Edition). Our championship match-up features the
Welcome to the Muscle Car Match-Ups Final Four. There were never any wrong answers, but we’re admittedly excited about the excellent match-ups your votes have created, as they represent some of the finest American V8 production engines of all time. Left standing: Chevy. Ford. Mopar. And the powerhouse up to this point—the Buick
The so-called Road to the Final Four is about to get chewed up. You voted some of the most ground-pounding, asphalt-eating American V8 production engines of all time into our Muscle Car Match-Ups round of eight. Chevy, Ford, Mopar, Pontiac, and Buick are all represented. Just about everyone is happy—except maybe the EPA and the noise police. But
Three former Muscle Car Match-Ups champions made it to the final eight. Now, only one remains. Reinforcing the notion that 1969 is the best model year in automotive history, three of our remaining four contestants are from that year. The iconic Melba Toast of Dazed and Confused fame brings 1970 to the party. Stay tuned as
And then they were gone. We introduced pre-1960 hot rods to the competition for the 2016 edition of Muscle Car Match-Ups, but after two rounds of eliminations, the tournament bracket looks a lot like it has the previous three years as we cut down to the Elite 8. Vintage. American. Muscle. All eight cars remaining
The champions are no more. The Yenko Nova came up short in its bid to repeat as Muscle Car Match-Ups champion. And the 2013 champion, the 1965 Shelby Cobra 427, failed to reclaim the title. That means there will be a brand new champion crowned in 2015. Vote now for your winner (you can see how here).
