Title: What's a great muscle car documentary?
Post by: family_dodge on May 21, 2017, 07:17:34 PM
I was in Cheapo the other day and happened across an entire season of "American Muscle Car" from MPI Home Video. It looks like it aired on the SPEED network or something in the early 2000s.

The episodes are just 20-some minutes, give a great overview of the vehicle's history and a general walkthrough of the engine, body and options. Throughout, there are short interviews with Mopar magazine editors and other experts. Clips of NASCAR seasons intersperse the show along with the racing storylines. It's actually just what I was looking for.

What's your favorite muscle car documentary? Or TV show about muscle cars? I'm wondering about other informative-type shows (not so much the Xzibit Pimp my Ride bits—although that's a great pop-culture indulgence, if you ask me  :coolgleamA:).

Great score for $3!  It is a very good series.  I have it with a different box, from a few years ago.  It does say MPI on the bottom.  (better car on the cover, that being a Charger  ;)).

'American Icon: The Muscle Car' is a good series too.  It was hosted by Chip Foose on Velocity 2010/2011.  It doesn't appear to be on dvd.  You can stream season 1 on Amazon Prime with an added MotorTrend OnDemand subscription.
