The Ford Mustang needs no introduction, and in 2024, it is somewhat in a class of its own. It returned for 2024 with its V8 engine intact and even better than before, refusing to follow the Chevy Camaro and Dodge Challenger to the grave. Ford already gave us the Shelby Mustang GT500, it unveiled the GT3 race car and even gave the world the Mustang Dark Horse.

Today’s muscle car aficionado is well-versed on the second-generation Chrysler Hemi, which initially appeared in race form for the 1964 race season and in Street Hemi form from 1966 to 1971 in Dodge and Plymouth production cars. Because the Hemi had been in Chrysler cars from 1951 to 1958 in its original incarnation, the idea of a V-8 with hemispherical combustion chambers was not new, but as you can tell from author and publisher Ray Brock’s enthusiasm in the following cover feature from April 1964, it was nothing short of earth-shattering. —Johnny Hunkins.

GM pulled the sheets on the new 2025 Chevy Corvette ZR1 late last month, showing off the fastest, most powerful production vehicle to ever wear a Corvette badge.

Now, we’re checking out what the new ZR1 looks like in the real world thanks to the following GM Authority photos.

In 1970, General Motors signaled its return to dominance in the muscle car arena with a double play. First, the corporation lifted its self-imposed limit on engine size for intermediate cars, opening the door for increased performance.

For Ford fans, the performance years of the 1960s brought one advancement after another, and that time line begins with Ford’s assault at Indy in 1963 with its DOHC V-8 based on the small-block Windsor. Meanwhile, Ford’s “big-block”—the FE engine family—which began modestly in 1958 at 332-, 352-, and 360-cubic-inch displacements—had by the time of this story grown to 427 cubes and would power Ford to wins at Le Mans in 1966 and 1967. The subject of Eric Dahlquist’s original story, the 427-ci SOHC “Cammer,” was based on the FE and showed what could be done quickly within the warrens of Ford powertrain. At the time, it was unknown whether the engine would see production in factory-built cars (it wouldn’t), but for a short time the hemi-headed cammer would please crowds in A/FX cars built by Holman & Moody and Bill Stroppe Engineering before becoming a darling in the nitro-fueled ranks in front of drivers like Don Prudhomme, Connie Kalitta, Jack Chrisman, and Don Nicholson. —Johnny Hunkins.

Sandy Paws Rescue Inc., a foster-based rescue in Massachusetts, is still looking for a forever home for an adorable six-year-old French bulldog named Joannie. The local animal rescue explains: “Joannie was found as a stray extremely emaciated and less than half her current weight now. She was missing fur on her body, face and ears. She has been nursed back to health and is doing wonderfully. While her age and exact history is unknown, it is clear she has mothered more than enough litters in her short lifetime.”

More dangerous substances are entering the Denver drug supply, Harm Reduction Action Center warned in a newsletter this week. “The Iron Law of Prohibition posits that as law enforcement becomes more intense, the potency of prohibited substances increases,” HRAC Executive Director Lisa Raville wrote in the newsletter. That is exactly what is happening, she said.

The Ford Explorer added the distinct, luxurious King Ranch trim to its lineup back in the 2021 model year, helping to celebrate 20 years of FoMoCo’s collaboration with the legendary South Texas cattle ranch, beginning with the 2001 Ford F-150 King Ranch. Since then, the King Ranch trim has been offered not only in the F-150, but also, the Ford Super Duty and the Ford Expedition. However, the King Ranch trim was somewhat surprisingly excluded from the 2025 Ford Explorer refresh.

Last week, a 32-year-old was arrested on trafficking charges after allegedly fleeing from a traffic stop and abandoning the vehicle with a child in the passenger seat. The chase resulted in the discovery of 230 grams of methamphetamine, which the suspect allegedly threw out while fleeing on foot. According to local detectives, the vehicle the suspect was driving was registered to NFL football player Tyreek Hill.

You've now seen the 2025 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1, bringing all the cowbell. When the din calms down some, don't forget that there are three other celebrated trims in the Corvette range, and they've been given a light touch-up for the coming model year. Starting with tweaks for every trim — Stingray, E-Ray, and Z06 — Competition Yellow Tintcoat Metallic and Hysteria Purple Metallic (pictured) are new colors for the exterior colors palette, and Sebring Orange Tintcoat Metallic returns to the menu. The two tintcoats will cost extra, Chevy charging $995 for those finishes on the 2024 Corvette. Hysteria Purple is expected to be a freebie. And buyers will be able to get Velocity Yellow painted brake calipers — a nice perk for those who order cars in Competition Yellow.
