When it comes to debating the best diesel engines ever put into pickup trucks, it doesn't take long for Ford Power Stroke models like the 7.3L and 6.7L (not to be confused with the 6.7L Cummins diesel engine) to enter the conversation. These two large-displacement diesel engines rank among the most reliable Power Stroke engines Ford ever made, although the 6.0L and 6.4L Power Strokes Ford produced between them didn't offer much competition.

Turning heads at a recent auction was a vibrantly restored 1971 Dodge Demon 340. Its Plum Crazy paint gleamed under the lights, highlighting the car’s aggressive design. This wasn’t a pristine factory example but rather a labor of love that melded classic muscle car aesthetics with some unique part choices.

At this point, the Ford Mustang is the last V8-powered muscle car left on the market — fitting given it was the original muscle car. The Chevrolet Camaro exited production a few months ago, and the new Dodge Charger has either straight-six or EV power. So unless you spend big money on something British or German, the Mustang is the only way to go for two-door, V8 power.

The first-ever AMG Maybach has finally been spotted in the wild, with CarBuzz spies catching a glimpse of a forthcoming version of the Mercedes-AMG SL-Class that will be given the Maybach treatment. The anomalous detail here is that the German automaker has always kept these two sub-brands separate, with AMG focusing on performance and Maybach on supreme luxury. Back in 2014, the then-director of development for the S-Class confirmed that "the badges would remain separate." But with the new SL-Class being an AMG product from the ground up, it seems that ideology has been tossed out completely.

There’s nothing more exhilarating than the throaty sounds of a vintage Trans-Am racer carving its way through a road course as it downshifts into the legendary corkscrew at Laguna Seca Raceway. The scent of race fuel and rubber adds to the adrenalin rush that leaves an indelible mark on anyone who has experienced it. That passion inspired Steve Ramsey of Fallston, Maryland, to create that combination of vintage looks and potent performance in this wicked ’63 Ford Falcon GT. The Falcon’s diminutive size made it a perfect model to transform into a modern-day Trans-Am-style asphalt-burner by packing every inch of it with a speed shop’s-worth of go-fast goods and making it ferocious on the street, road course, or even the dragstrip, while delivering plenty of dependability.
