200-MPH, Turbo Hemi Street Car! The Ultimate Belvedere - The House Of Muscle Ep. 3

[@95roadie]

I grew up 7 miles down the road from Troys shop, in Peotone, IL. And I've somehow never managed to ever see that car. I'm absolutely blown away. I'm speechless, that car is too perfect, and it was built right down the road from me.

[@chrischamberlain836]

I owned a 66 plymouth belvedere back when I was 17 yrs old. It had a 273 V8 . Great car

[@nrvous309]

My favorite car designer/builder. Troy is unmatched in the industry

[@paw45]

Young man. You have a real jewl there. Never let that beauty go. She is a keeper.

[@paulneuin7860]

Motor Trend has been bearing heavy criticism for its KZbin offerings lately, some of it deserved, some of it not, but I like this new House of Muscle series. It's tasteful and well done, and being a more mature show with an older and calmer host, it nicely balances the otherwise excitable pace of the channel's portfolio and presenters.

[@TheHouseOfMuscle]

Thank you Sir!

[@BlueHopi144]

i feel the same . Its a great new series .

[@S1XTY7]

@@BlueHopi144 I agree as well!

[@omcara1]

A lot better than Road Kill, that show has jumped the shark.

[@lylereinier4989]

I love the 66-67 Plymouth Satellite/Belvedere . My dad bought a new Satellite in 66, and mom had a 67 Belvedere. I learned to drive in that 67 Belvedere, so I have a soft spot for them.

[@midnighteightsix6919]

Great job on this episode Mike! I agree this is easily one of the greatest Mopar builds. Editing and video production was top notch too, looking forward to the rest of the series!

[@gregorygolden1296]

Beautiful. Can't imagine going 250 mph in it. I'm sure it would. Gets me thinking about "BIG RED" Awesome build.

[@andrewipp426]

Mike Musto nice work on this video, as a New Yorker I appreciate how you tell a story, others may not get it or appreciate your on screen talent. What a car, the capabilities are incredible, build details are exceptional!!!Troy Trepanier is a genius, to be able to build such a multi capable machine, with the limitations that David Meyer put in place. I wish I would have had him build my Cuda....I am still crying over that one.

[@BlueHopi144]

That guy is a master builder !!!

[@davidmoore2231]

Troy always delivers....

[@ghostrt1608]

This thing is a sleeper...damn...9's in the qtr., and will run 208mph...a '66 Mopar... awesome

[@stanlong1236]

The best thing about this story is the fact that you USE IT!! I love to see you flog it! Good for you! The hood off of youre high school ride is also cool.

[@badledgend1172]

I started at a classic auto restoration shop recently, and the owner has told me that Rad Rides by Troy is what he aspires to achieve with both his shop as well as his skill set. It just makes me excited to learn from him and be a part of it

[@stevenpressley5956]

Plymouth & Troy T= THE MOTHER OF ALL MOPARS!!! That car is the ultimate.. it wouldn't surprise me if you could thrash it on a road course.. What a statement 👊💪👊💪

[@jakemj03]

What a car - those wheel/tires really work well!

[@mattfairfield9103]

GOD I love B-Bodied, bad-mother-fudger 1960s muscle cars... Some of the most beautiful and completely American cars of all time.

[@ewiem4351]

Square and boxy cars don't usually look good, but that rear pillar offsets the boxiness, making it one of the best looking cars Chrysler ever built. I'll bet that shape doesn't do much for the coefficient of drag - that thing is a brick. It's amazing that it can top 200 mph. Although someone (Carroll Shelby?) once said that if you had enough power you could make a brick go fast.

[@Fongolitus]

it's really bizarre, Richard Petty won the daytona 500 in 1966 in one of those

[@silver911100]

That car is insane!!!!!

[@jlopez1017d]

The best thing about Mike's videos is that he shows us more obscure muscle cars meaning cars other than camaro's challengers, and chargers I didn't grow up with muscle cars so I had no idea the Belvedere existed and I fell in love with this car. I'm only 23 and I just bought my first muscle car a year ago and every time I fire it up it makes my day better.

[@deronborghi5929]

On of my favorite parts of this episode is the mile mark spool down. And the end too, the camera work with the music, the beautiful voice and of course .. the way that car fades into the tire smoke AND the sunset. Mike, you said Troy knocked it out of the park with the build well, I certainly agree with you there. I'm thinking you and your crew did just that .. with this episode. Oh, and Mopar is my #1

[@audiwankenobi361]

Seriously Mike,this car is inspiring....thanks.

Different volumes and EQ settings...all return different results. Cant find a match here either. Originally I thought it was a new remix for Days Go By, but the lyrics are different. Im stumped.

[@TheShanguin]

nothing on the song yet

[@wallacedavidg]

That brings back some memories. A friend my best friend in high school bought one of these in '67. It looked like a total granny car. As I recall it was a Belvedere GTX with the 426 hemi. Once he tubbed out the rear wheels to install some 16 in M&H Roadmaster slicks you knew it was no granny car. That car was, as they say, 'bad ass.'

[@gollypo448]

That blue! So deep you could swim in it. Licklicklick.

[@bigblock54]

You're right, I've seen that car up close in person and have to say it was one of the best paintjobs ever!

[@gollypo448]

I think it's one of the best overall restoration/update jobs I've seen, I envy you your close encounter!

[@kridley73]

That is a VERY nice blue!

[@harkostroef]

Please tell me what the soundtrack is at the ending shot 13:30 it is so incredible

[@thedukeof5a]

Check out the music that Moog from Mighty Car Mods produces. You'll like it.

[@toddwilliams9681]

That is 1 of the Dopest Builds I've seen on this Channel!! The Color(Love Blue) the interior(that dash & Navi in the rear view!!) The turbos mounted in the rear of the Car Almost 5,0000lbs & still going under 10 secs & being being a Daily Driver! KUDOS!!

[@rspence3966]

Saw this car at Keystone Raceway in Pa. it's unbelievable. cleanest car out there. this thing sounds unreal.

[@rodneychapman1506]

My mom bought a brand new 66 Belvedere 4 door with a slant 6 in it and I was a kid and for it to be a slant 6 it would do everything that the speedometer said it would do a Buck 20 !! OLD SCHOOL RULES !!

[@PgUpPerformance]

Car has many, MANY un-noticed details. The best build I have ever seen, and he uses it! It was great to meet David and his father on Drag Week

[@TheHouseOfMuscle]

We spent days with this car and still missed some of the details. Amazing build.

[@ricksteele6910]

Both the intro and outro song were SO GOOD. really made the episode.

can you tell me the outro

[@travislayton435]

Awesome!! She hits 200 mph rather easy!! Got there quick not even break in' a sweat! Love it! She's ready for the salt flats or the Texas mile etc

[@danohstoolbox]

WoW what a nice ride you got there

[@GT-OD]

That is the true definition of protouring muscle. Its amazing that the car does 208mph without any changes to the body for aerodynamics.

[@YoungDen]

O'Dhalsim Scruggs - I don't think most people understand that. Makes me wanna hold on to my Dodge Magnum and have these guys work on it

[@GT-OD]

By all means go for it. The magnum should have a large enough engine bay for a bigger engine and huge turbos.

[@TheHouseOfMuscle]

What year Magnum?

[@YoungDen]

The House Of Muscle - 2007

[@TheHouseOfMuscle]

I had an 06 SRT8 Magnum. One of best cars I've ever owned. Would buy another in a heartbeat!

High art, Mike, high art!! The donuts at sunset are just perfect!!

[@manmachinemake3708]

Having owned 3 - '66 Belv/Satellites I am so in love with this car and the build. Troy's shop did the best job imaginable incorporating all the tech, safety, power and class while still retaining the stock look of the original car right down to the stance ! With the new high HP offerings from the (ahem) Big - 3, this fits right in but with WAY more class.

[@keithbrettell2058]

What a beauty...what a beast! I can't believe that receiver hitch mounted parachute doesn't get yanked out at 200MPH. I remember seein' Troys shop on the Speed Channel back, maybe 10 years ago.

Only Two Words........Beautifully Insane!!! There are not many American Muscle Cars i haven't seen and drove one time or another, though there was a time while visiting a friend in Pueblo Colorado, i woke really early one morning and decided to walk around the Block, sitting in a Neighbors driveway sat a Car with a sign, For Sale.....Original 4 Speed Car, that stopped me and i seen the emblem Belvedere and the rest was missing, i had to call Dad, hey Pop what is this and who makes it.........FROM THAT DAY FORWARD, I BEEN HOOKED!!! Thanks for sharing!

[@FightingMSA]

Holy cow I've delivered parts to this shop! Definitely a shop that flies under the radar.

[@runnersp1985]

Musto you're such a frigging legend. This has automatically become the best show on the Motor Trend Channel.

[@toysoldier46552]

Mike another great episode, screw the trolls and haters, I'm glad to see you on Motor Trend. Keep up the great work! Very nice presentation and back story on this classic ride, it is hard to believe this thing was rolled in its history.

[@melodymakermark]

I turned 16 the spring of 1976, and although I was never a car guy to the degree these guys were/are, I remember and appreciate cars of this styling that were on the road back in the day. This Mopar in its general form reminds me of my first ride, a ‘66 Fairlane 2 dr hardtop. It was a base model, no AC, no power steering or brakes, but it was that lite blue color of that era and had a sweet 289ci in it and would really move. I traded it for a ‘73 Yellow Gran Torino. I wish I had either of those back today, but especially the Fairlane. Anyway, I’ve digressed. This was an excellent presentation and is an exceptional car. Hats of to everyone in this video.

[@jeffmitts5363]

On paper you'd have to shake your head and say there's no way you could achieve this in a package that's this cross functional with the attention to detail and the hi tech features. Not to mention the sano / semi-sleeper look....... incredible. If i had the coin, Troy would be my builder.

[@Locoandchooch]

Quite an achievement. I love it.

[@craiginator245]

Absolutely incredible. Mike and the crew keep it up you are doing a great job

[@robnormann]

The final scene when you make donuts: The warm sunset light, the slowmotion, the dust and the music put me in a nice mellow trance. Thanks for a great episode :-)

I could have bought a 1964 Plymouth Belvedere SuperStock with a 426 Hemi and 4spd all original with 18,567 miles on it for $18,000 in 1993/94 when I was 20/21. It had all its original equipment and documentation/paperwork too However I had to let it go. I let my 64 Tempest tell me what it wants. I’ve had it since 1995 and it has a few improvements. More yet to go.

[@kermitthefrog3685]

Love it! The Bev II doesn't get near enough credit.

[@TheAcePool]

The episode that would've been released this month is Episode 60, which is the bonus episode with Mighty Car Mods they released for Christmas. Expect Roadkill for the 17th.

[@paulcopeland9035]

They say roadkill is slowly going away. The guys have some new directions they want to pursue. Roadkill will be a special edition type of project only. Sad but I'm afraid, true.

[@NoName-OG1]

General feeling I get is the roadkill is at a height, and moving to a pay rather than play market, "on demand" etc and if pay don't work, it might not play.... Let's be honest it's a watched show that's been around for the comedy not the cars really. And really jumped in viewership after top gear died, due to a good many still needing a car guy comedy fix. And click and clack despite free, also dead, (literally RIP Tommy) and on radio. So roadkill is at a premium spot in the niche, just holding it hostage for a paying market at the moment. But we're cheap, we want free....

[@johntechwriter]

As a Belvedere fan from way back, I’ve got to say the one portrayed here is the finest example of the marque I have ever seen. And the quality of this show's presentation does justice to its subject.

[@MrBluoct]

. Those boys in the Midwest don't mess around...

[@Engineerd3d]

I am glad Mike went to motor trend. Glad to see him again. For the guys giving hm hate. Well I grew up in the same kind of background as Mike here. The personality is there. Guys like that are like porcupines, pricks on the outside but total sweethearts in reality. Love Mike, never missed a show on drive with him. Now will probably subscribe to motor trend on demand because of him. :)

[@1964Savoysuperstock]

Beautiful bass ass 1966 Plymouth Belvedere II. Love it. I can only imagine how much the bill $$$ was for this build. Masterpiece of engineering, fabrication, and assembly of parts. I'd love to drive it! Troy and the gang should be commended for the work they did, and guess they are on this video and others on youtube, and magazine articles. It was built with a no expense spared luxury budget by one of the top car builders in the world, to accomplish specific goals which were obtained, congradulations! Well done video Mike, I enjoyed this overall, including some of the history of these cars. However, .....Slab sided B-Body grandmothers car, come on dude! Seriously,, what a undeserved lame description. Last time I looked at those cars they have a nice round curve in the body all the way down. Super clean, chiseled out of granite, ripped looking is more like it! Not bloated and fat like the next generation B-Body mopars, compare to a 1968-70 Coronet, Belvedere (road runner), and Charger for that matter. Ouch! Its true, admit it. Your boring and stereotype narrative is getting old on these cars, just like the description of the 1966 Dodge Coronet you did previously. How about speaking positively about the body styling for once? The Hellcat Challenger, there is a slab sided car, flat as a pancake all the way down. Fast yes, but heavy and fat looking.

[@barath4545]

Thank you very much!

[@kkkkiaken]

NorthernBel What is the actual weight? People keep saying 4800... however, a Bel 2 is rated at 3200-3300... I know the turbos arent that heavy and it sounds like 400lbs of sound deadener... maybe 37-3800?

[@northernbel1974]

kkkkiaken the actual race weight according to the scale at the end of the drag strip was 4,895 pounds. That is with me in it, in full race gear and a nearly full tank of gas. It has a 23 gallon tank, so the gasoline weighs about 142 pounds. In full race gear with a SFI fire suit, helmet, and hans device, I probably weigh about 250 pounds. Subtracting those from the race weight and rounding a little, that puts the car weight at 4,500 pounds. Compared to stock, you have to add the weight of the sound deadener, cage, 4L80e trans weight difference over a 727, the gear vendors unit, trailer hitch, parachute, turbos, intercooler, turbo tubing (all stainless steel by the way), subframe connectors, fire suppression system, Dana 60 weight difference over the 8 3/4", and the bedliner type material that is sprayed on the underside of the car.

I think is the exhaust, because the 2 turbos are on the back

Yeah I saw that too, is it a Waste gate? Maybe it is the crankcase vent? Dunno

[@themusiclemon6652]

Bruno Ribeiro it's the exhaust because if you look at 0:48 there's no exhaust pipes at the back the only reason is they stuck the exhaust at the front and put the turbo at the back it's like they flipped them
