Series Premiere! The House Of Muscle Garage - The House Of Muscle Ep. 1

[@jimmyvega287]

Mike Musto was the only reason I was subscribed to /drive

[@stevedixon2630]

soon as he started talking I recognized that voice

[@davect01]

Don't have an Muscle Cars myself, but love and respect them Many modern cars are faster, stronger, and more reliable but dang, the sound of a big V8 rumbling down the street is so neat.

[@davidenobile426]

Dave Taylor Those ol' big V8s are extremely reliable

[@GR1MRACER]

* raises hand * "Is mayonnaise a muscle car?"

[@boostedKTM]

67kjek LMAO for sure spread it on and hold on to your ass!

[@MrAdrian13]

Jeff Sine no Patrick

[@SgtNuker]

I've been following Mike Musto on and off for a few years now and he is exactly the host that Motor Trend has needed. I'm looking forward to seeing more from this series.

[@keithbrettell2058]

Welcome to Motor Trend, Mike. You have a hell of a collection and I'm lookin' forward to your show.

[@Bb-yg3rq]

Keith Brettell I bet if his nephew can't wait till he dies lol

[@callmegeorge]

Love his way of thinking If you own it, enjoy it, take it out and drive it! No point in having a trailer queen, just sitting everywhere.

[@FeaturedGarage]

Mike Musto is definitely an ambassador for American muscle cars. Loving this new segment!

[@LoveMyZJ]

So glad to see Mike Musto join Motortrend! Big Muscle was one of my favorite shows on /DRIVE I've missed Mikes enthusiasm, straight-talk, and presentation style.

[@laser69beam]

Musto....! ;))) hell yeah...! So glad you left that drive mallarkey

[@calh212]

Welcome home Mike! watched your show quite a bit and am happy to see you with HR and the crews!

[@ItsMikeArre]

Been wondering where mike musto been can't wait for this series it looks very entertaining

[@EvanMoon]

Mike Musto muscles his way around in American muscle cars. He was made for this, I'm glad he's doing that.

[@charliekealoha]

WOOOO!!! Mike Musto!! Welcome to Motor Trend man!! Can't wait to see more!

[@matthiebert4902]

This is fantastic. Mike is knowledgable and even better he's reasonable. He's not trying to be something he's not and it's great

[@sidefx996]

Congrats on your new show Mike! I'm sure it'll be awesome like all your past work.

[@LoveMorHate]

OH God. It's like dream come true. I wished for more shows from Mike Musto!

[@alternatr]

This is awesome!!!!! best idea. If you're gonna feature Retro Aussie muscle, I'd be happy to have my beautiful example of a '99 Holden HSV Clubsport 195i featured! It's one of the last Aussie V8s ever made before LS motors took over the HSV range! number 1620 of ~2000 examples. 304ci (5Ltr) V8, 195kw (261hp), 430nm of torque (though, mine has an exhaust system with a custom cold air intake, MSD ignition leads, etc. so I'm estimating around 280/290 ish HP). One day it'll be stroked to 355ci with a twin throttle body custom intake manifold, ported heads etc etc. Aiming for about 400whp :) Its my baby, I love it to death. To me, its a perfect combination of practicality, muscle and sportiness. I must say, I'm quite the import fan, and originally I wanted a Nissan 180SX Type X. I ended up with the complete opposite, and I regret nothing haha.

[@MrRhino10]

Jay Hulm the old injected 5ltr sound love it.

[@alternatr]

Randy Marsh Haha its a truly beautiful piece of machinery

[@MrRhino10]

Love my 5ltr

[@j.scaffnetti5437]

Sooooo happy to see Big Mike over here on MT!! 👍 always liked his delivery and his pure love for muscle cars👏

[@TheCruzmeister]

Motortrend, you've done a very smart choice by picking up mike musto from /Drive.

[@TheRyancamaro]

Yes!! Musto is back and House of Muscle is free on KZbin, I am stupid happy right now!!

[@mistermood4164]

that's it, the drive network is officially dead.

[@JohnSp33d]

HELL yeah! Loved Mike Musto's big muscle series. So glad he nabbed a show on Motor Trend.

[@C-M-E]

Former Big Muscle sub, so the Musto is back! Good to see, better to hear =)

[@TheHardwareguide]

After watching this series premier video, the thing I liked about all Mike Musto's vehicles was the fact they are all look that they've been driven like normal, daily drivers. Very impressive!

[@kylethestyle]

/DRIVE can't seem to keep any of it's employees.

[@MegaSuperMG]

Normally i like older german rides but you got to love these mega awsome american muscle cars...

[@OCPDesigns]

I thought it was pimp my ride by the logo

[@thegreatcarraway]

Musto wants to be a player, but his wheels ain't fine.

[@waderedsox]

he thinks hes a man, but hes a pedal short of that line

[@GR1MRACER]

Matt I thought it said "Mouse of Muscle"

[@Bb-yg3rq]

Matt same

[@J3rryTh3B4rd]

CJ P, Matt different.

[@madd_morris1382]

OH MY GOD! I can't even begin to say how damn exited that opening got me. finally an internet show where there really is no replacement for displacement. Thank you Motor Trend you have answered our prayers. I am eagerly awaiting the next instalment of House Of Muscle.

[@StingrayOfficial]

Mike! Mike! Mike!

[@TODDFINK1]

Mike Musto and Jay Leno need to do a show together. The high pitched excited talking would be great! Glad to see Mike back! He had some of the best content i had ever seen. Really quality gentleman.

[@bunkaaa8726]

"They are too fast" - shows a shot of the Pontiac Trans Am - hahaha

[@Roboticgladiator]

My 74 Trans Am had no trouble doing 145mph -- and that was not the top speed. That was as fast as I was willing to push the tires.

[@bunkaaa8726]

RoboticGladiator Yah.. stock - how long did it take to get there? Honestly.

[@Roboticgladiator]

Not very long at all.

[@jdrok5026]

Bunka Fas most old muscle cars have better 1/4 mile ets then a lot of newer cars

[@bunkaaa8726]

jdr ok I'm talking about the trans am, not an actual muscle car

[@dustbucket7949]

Welcome Mike!!! We've missed you!!! /Muscle was one of my favorite series on KZbin.

[@rubberneckrides5940]

/DRIVE really is dead then...

[@henrykincaid6821]

PeePee2000 drive is on NBC sports and Matt and Chris still present it. Drive's not dead, it's just not on KZbin anymore

[@rubberneckrides5940]

salmonline who's whining?

[@abdjr.247]

Its really too bad because you used to have a lot of car youtube channels competeing, now you have a few, and most of them are moving away from youtube!

[@x3wildcard]

RIP FLD :(

[@RetroCarsForever]

Welcome to Motor Trend, Mike! Love hearing from a motorhead who just loves muscle cars, no matter which of the Big Three it came from.

[@eugenebaker3682]

OMG yes, mike musto!!!!! where he belongs!!

[@KSKaleido]

It makes me really happy to see Musto having his own show again. I'm very excited for this!

[@sauciemcdaniels2662]

YES!!!!! THANK YOU FOR THIS!! 😲😲😲😲😲😲😲😲😲

[@sizwendlanzi8181]

5:20 "the chickens everywhere"! Lol! Brilliant presentation, plus you have all my toy collectables!

[@mrtjbiga1784]

from the thumbnail , i thought this was gonna be a softcore porn, and i was not disappointed ! thanks Motortrend

[@FasterthaMyou]

Granddad's Monte, fantastic! Welcome back, Mike!! :-)))

[@johnmcdonald5274]

Show sounds and looks great, Leno invitee style. But you REALLY need to rethink the logo. Hold an online competition to design a new logo for merchandise or something. Good luck with the new series, I can't wait!

[@ROCKY58309]

yup that pimp my ride style font just Noooo

[@philfromalaska4464]

YESSSSSS! This man is a true car guy. I wanna see a show with him and Chris Harris co hosting. MT make it happen!

[@lonecrusaider]

if you don't drive them theres no point in owning it... I like this guy.

[@phinds1]

Finally you listened to me Motor Trend,,,MORE MUSTO!!!!

[@fugazystugazy6156]

I can feel the vibration from the engine through my headphones

[@NikesZ28]

Thats how it should be! :)

[@latexdogg]

Isaac Modawell funny how speaker do that eh

[@davebarron5939]

Always enjoy your no nonsense presentations on my favorite vehicles, American muscle. I completed my wife's 1977 TA. three years ago to complete stock and she enjoys it in the summer, after storing it for 23 years. The car is like bran new, only fit and finish is better. Thanks.

[@TheHouseOfMuscle]

Wasn't '77 the year that Pontiac sold the most T/As? Or was that '79?

[@dirtsailoroff-road5580]

more episodes please?! do a 83 Trans Am with an L69 305 H.O. and 5 speed, that's mine! lol

[@hamidroopchand731]

same LOL

[@hamidroopchand731]

LoL kool tho

[@anthonylach8089]

Nice. Have any videos of it?

[@dirtsailoroff-road5580]

[@ICECUBE682]

+Walter so what. I'm from europe too. And as far as I know pretty much every single eu country has a USA car club wich is organazing meets where you will be able to see some awesome cars. 3rd gens are also quite cheap to buy here.

[@Amstel508]

Love the First Gen Monte. I have a white 71 so its nice to get some appreciation! Look forwards to episode 2

[@Loebane]

That intro was seriously melodramatic, but the rest of the content is good.

[@Forkuh]

Agreed. "too powerful, too fast" i mean not really. I love muscle cars for the styling and the sound, but you put £50k into an old muscle car and you'll be lucky if you go as fast as a £10k 1998 supra. I get it, you CAN make a muscle car fast, but not really any faster than any other car. When you get into high level modifications, it's PURELY about style, when it comes to choosing your platform, especially if you're not replacing the original panels, those big steel quarters are heavy.

[@PNWSV]

+Forkuh Check out Sloppy Mechanics he's running 9's with a junkyard LS

[@MaliciousSRT]

No, those Supras only had 320 HP and the ones making more have had tens of thousands spent on them.

[@Forkuh]

you can pickup 800hp supras for under £10k over here. How many miles you'll get before the heads crack is another story completely, but the point stands. You can make plenty of power in any vehicle if you're willing to spend the money on it.

[@MaliciousSRT]

Forkuh Post forsale links to these 10K 800HP Supras bud. I think you're full of shit.

[@viren026]

Welcome back Mike, good to see u again, so is it bye bye Drive.

[@zososldier]

There are enough shows that don't publish nearly enough. Dirt every day is like dirt every 4 months. Hot rod garage is pretty non existent and the best seller road kill barely produces. Add in 10 minutes of commercials for motor trend on demand each episode and there is almost no content from a channel that has almost 5 million subs.

[@henrykincaid6821]

adam courtney they all have a new episode each month. It's every four weeks. Just look at the MotorTrend channel's feed.

[@zososldier]

The 4 months thing was an over exaggeration. With the 4 or 5 shows they have there is really no reason that they couldn't have more content. This doesn't even take into account the shows they lock behind a pay wall in motor trend on demand which bleeds over into non MToD shows further cutting into time. Regardless of the host stating they don't have funding, they do. They have the parent company MT + Dodge + youtube + MToD + Netflix + all the other sponsors like cummins, continental, etc. In short, content is lacking.

[@Aeroworks540]

thats why its not a tv show. If you want daily content they have motortrend on demand which is where most shows do post almost daily.

[@KSKaleido]

You obviously don't understand how expensive and time-consuming it is to produce quality car content. If you want daily videos go watch some garbage vlog channel. I'll happily wait a month for quality episodes from all the shows on this channel.

[@xxSgtXioXxx291]

Quit whining take a break from buying big Macs everyday and spend 5 fucking dollars on Mtod

[@edwardnavarro3692]

Great attitude!! We can't take these cars with us when we die. I drive my 1963 SS Impala every time I get the chance.

[@ghostspectre1861]

Yeah, you could drive that Monte Carlo every day...in California.

[@themockalove]

GhostSpectre definitely not anywhere with snow

[@stshort500]

Throw some all season radials on it and I'll drive it all winter here in the Midwest, no problem

[@tamapalagi]

we owned a similar monte and we lived in idaho.

[@owen_cord]

It's a big body on frame v8... pretty much a pickup truck lol

[@InvincibleExtremes]

GhostSpectre i know right? i daily my 1968 461 pontiac firebird across the entire country... and it aint no pussy ass 14 second turd either. damn thing was a daily in upstate new york, winter and all. and now is my tow truck...

[@mrnorvegianguitarman]

luckiest guy ever! most of my dream cars in one video, though i can't complain when my absolute dream car is sitting at home. this was a true pleasure to watch, thank you for a great show!

[@TheMikeFranzonePod]

MIKE MUSTOOOOOOOOOOO

[@BenLeBlanc1]

Sweet! MT acquired Mike Musto! Hopefully this will be like what /drive used to be!

[@nevarema]

Let me guess this shit is going on motor trend on fucking demand

[@TakticElement]

already aired a month ago

[@NikoBell12]

Yup. They make something really good and make it exclusive. I like how every defends them by saying "oh well in the real world it costs money to make these videos" but you don't see guys like Petrolicious becoming sellouts and they make arguably the best car videos.

[@Serps-ii9zc]

It's going to be just like Roadkill and all the other regular MotorTrend shows, on MTOD first then on KZbin a month later.

[@daftbence]

Hey +nevarema You profile pic is my PC background, Daft Punk FTW!

[@customX09]

NikoBell12, Petrolicious is run by a VERY wealthy couple and was never intended to make money. They lose money on every single film they make. For most other content creators, that really isn't a feasible option.

[@ericm.4747]

Awesome to see Mike Musto back on a regular show. Really enjoyed your segments on Drive. I look forward to watching The House Of Muscle. Good luck.

[@SPProduction02]

ok... who wants a challenge between Mike's charger and General mayhem?

[@nathanwrightmedia161]

I can't wait until Matt from the smoking tire quits drive for motor trend lol

[@hustler539]

Matt is cool. He's found a niche with his channel and I like his content. But I don't think he would be a right fit for this channel.

[@blitz4six]

Musto, super glad you got this gig dude, you deserve it! Awesome first show!

[@NoGoodDirtyRicer]

You have two of the three cars I'd die to have which is fucking awesome

[@VSautomotive]

I love his cars. He's got (at least) one of each from the big 3, an old BMW 5-series and god only knows what else. A true car enthusiast knows no brand loyalty, just great cars.

[@TransAmsandDashcams]

I'd love, LOVE to DD a muscle car. Hell I'd love to finish the '77 Trans Am in my garage. But the winter would KILL it up here. Stupid road salt.

[@SOM4ME]

CJ DASHCAM Same boat here.. '77 Trans Am in the garage awaiting more parts.. one day my friend well get there! -Chris

[@shakarussanders9911]

You got a 68 Charger!!! And a Trans Am!! Two of my favorites!! So cool!!

[@TheJoney271]

Dis gun be good

[@thattruckguy]

I love Mike! So glad to see him here at Motor Trend! So much more potential than over at /Drive

[@boosted_2j]

nephew then traded the car for a bag of weed

[@idontlikecops1]

[@bryanc447]

2010 evo

[@jginnz]

NIce work Mike. I used to love "Big Muscle" and have missed watching it. Super happy that you have started this show and will be a loyal watcher.

[@Arthurzeiro]

If it's about all muscle, would that include some stuff from down under?

[@cavediverjc]

Awesome premiere!!!! I'm REALLY looking forward to following this series. I love that you daily drive a '72 Carlo. That's badass.

[@nicksmith1858]

Your intro song should be a Motörhead song

[@XBlockAcah]

Who think Pimp My Ride Font will fit The "Muscle Car "

[@streetsyndicate9858]

I love everything Mike Musto does 😍 speaks with pure passion! ❤️

[@Sh00fly86]

I like the wife plug. I have to throw that one in once in a while when I'm about to make a questionable to her automotive purchase.

[@EliminatorPerformance]

Welcome to the family Mike! See if you guys can get a Buggati (I'm not joking) because when that thing first came out, it was the biggest muscle around!!!

[@DOWDFILMS1]

Yes I love Mike Musto. But don't fuck this up MT

[@lanceleblanc6812]

I m glad to see Mike has left drive and has landed on motor trend

[@chrisg4rr377]

this better not be a continental advert

[@GTAStuntman400]

Shout out to the Dale sticker on Mike's Monte Carlo, "Do it for Dale!"

[@91Wildcat700]

Wait is this a on demand exclusive or avaliable on youtube?

[@Nick210]

MTOD Exclusive

[@extraplain]

At the end of the video, the announcer says that it will "each new episode will premiere exclusively on Motor Trend on Demand". I take this to mean that it will be similar to Roadkill, in that it will premiere there first, then later be transitioned to KZbin.

[@brettbeatty1683]

David Freiburger

[@goonwop592]

so fuckin basically a big long pos commercial... great thanks for that.

[@ColinSebern]

Episodes hit KZbin after 30 days on MTOD. Also... MTOD is $5/mo. and totally worth it.

[@novaman3509]

Pumped to see this show continue and flourish! Big old school American Muscle enthusiasts myself!

[@justsumguy2u]

You've got some seriously badass cars there, but about that Trans Am; instead of doing yet another LS swap like everyone else does, why not keep it all Pontiac? A Holley-injected 400 or 455 would be a hell of a lot of fun.

[@this_guy6965]

Totally agreed. I'm sick of LS swaps. Like c'mon people, be a little more original. I think though that a blown 403 would be badass

[@justsumguy2u]

The 403 Olds? I agree it would be cool, but are there enough aftermarket parts available to build one?

[@this_guy6965]

justsomeguytoyou certainly would be since the second gens came with the option of a 403 from the factory

[@justsumguy2u]

I know, I had one (a '79). I was just wondering if there were Oldsmobile high performance parts still being made, stuff like forged pistons, cams, etc---I would think that stuff would be hard to find since there isn't much interest in anything Oldsmobile nowadays. But even an Olds 350 would be better than that pukey 301 lol

[@this_guy6965]

justsomeguytoyou I gotcha. I thought you meant parts to jyst make it fit. I think there parts available though. I used to work with a guy who bought a brand new, complete 403 putting out around 560hp (I think. I can't remember for sure) that he then stuck a 6-71 blower on and then was in the process of modifying an old Model T to put it in

[@kingawags]

So this is where you've been. Lookin good Musto..

[@EngineeringVignettes]

@14:32 - Premiers on _Motortrend on Demand_. Does this mean it's out on YT 30 days later? Or is it permanently behind a paywall?

[@Anukloses]

Dude... they gave you free content for years... and are still giving you free content... and it's $5 a month for a subscription...

[@jeepcollector91]

+Anukloses I'm fine with shows coming out on MTOD first. I keep hoping once the older shows become stale content on MTOD (maybe 6 months to a year old) that they will then air on KZbin. That way they can make some money off us non-MTOD people. The main show I'm missing out on is Roadkill Garage as it has some of the Roadkill fleet on the show. Being on a really tight budget the only shows I see are right here on KZbin. It may be only $5 a month, but that $60 a year could be a tank of fuel or another part to finish a project. It adds up when living cheap.

[@Anukloses]

JeepCollector91 Dude im sorry but compared to every other subscription on the internet MTOD is cheaper. They are doing their best as a business they need to survive. Netflix starts at $8 a month MTOD is the best show for carheads that doesnt have that cringy drama that every other car show has.

[@jeepcollector91]

+Anukloses I agree that it is cheaper than other subscription based services on the internet and I think it is a great deal. Just beyond my current budget. No Netflix for me either. I would rather pay for MTOD than Netflix, Hulu, or Amazon Prime any day. Just can't afford any of them. So unless older episodes of Roadkill Garage eventually find their way to KZbin, I'll just have to miss out.

[@theoriginaljoke3.148]

also there are many shows that are very easy to find online for free, I have yet to find a good source for MTOD stuff, so that should be reason enough alone.

[@Choppy2400]

got chills in the intro AND YOU GOT MIKE.....KEEP...THIS...SHOW..GOIN

[@lil_seizures323]

My sisters 2004 dodge stratus that has 200,099 miles on it

[@FishFind3000]

[@LUNCHMONEY4numbers]

Sniper WITCH CRAFT!!!

[@erikj.2066]

A Moose once bit my sister.

[@xxSgtXioXxx291]

Okay and my 93 s10 has 300,000

[@wyattrowe8396]

Sniper My 92 Toyota pickup has 348,000 miles.

[@terrydority]

Love the Monte Carlo!! that's how I like em. Pretty much stock and daily drivers. This girl don't own no trailer queen!! Great show! Looking forward to the next installment.

[@joeschlotthauer840]

Your Monte has a 2:56 rear not a 2:53, your grandfather's car was a 402 big block not a 401, the clone Daytona is kool as hell, but I'd like to see the build, to know where you got the (reproduction?) parts, and to let the viewer know what worked, and what didn't. Leave the (new) Mustang for Motortrend Magazine. Best,

[@Serps-ii9zc]

I doubt there's much info on the build of the Daytona, he's had it together for quite a while but I do know it was in Mopar Muscle Mag (I believe) a while back. As for parts, I don't know if it's what he used but AAR Quality Fiberglass makes a Daytona kit that's a fiberglass reproduction of the nose cone, the wing and the scoops, and I know the back widow parts are available, don't remember who makes them but I've definitely seen it before.

[@joeschlotthauer840]

Shane Serpico Hey man, thanks. I just got the video today. I would just like to see these cars embraced and preserved. I just think the "new" Mustang featured is in a category by itself along with the Challenger Hellcat, and Camaro, etc.

[@joeschlotthauer840]

Forgot, first car was a 68 Buick Riviera, a few SS Chevelle's, few SS Monte Carlo's and few Buick Stage 1 cars, best was my Buick GSX (car #125). Lost em all when mom went into nursing home and dad got sick later (Parkinson's). Best,

[@ColinSebern]

All of the bodywork on the Daytona is steel including the nosecone.

[@mechanknuckle]

"It's a rolling disco ball." A truer statement has never been made. Hillarious!

[@TheDustyaman]

So the drive dumped him. And he is now apart of motor trend

[@CerebusTV]

Same 1/4 mile time when I first took my 68 Chevelle SS396 to the track in 1973. I still have it in the garage.

[@TheHouseOfMuscle]

Wow really - did you buy it new?

[@thenerdycanadian7172]

so this is why Musto hasn't been on /Drive, interesting

[@faiyaz5950]

TheNerdyCanadian didn't drive go to shit after that plus shit

[@ColinSebern]

/Drive is dead.

[@faiyaz5950]

Colin Sebern figured as much

[@thenerdycanadian7172]

Faiyaz Husain pretty much lol

[@BammerD]

I still have my first car, which is a 1976 Monte Carlo. She was my grandfather's. He gave her to me when I graduated high school and I drove her for 10 years as my daily driver. She sadly needs a restoration, but I love that car and will never give her up.

[@QurttoRco]

Reason why you don't drive an old car everyday it's because when moron rams into you with his truck you don't die

[@garrettallman3832]

QurttoRco lol i said the same thing when he mentioned it

[@dirtslider1997]

QurttoRco old cars are not safer m8 not even a little bit

[@DJsMinecraftNess]

Dirt4k that's what he's saying...

[@rogerramjet5092]

Sure they are there's a ton or 2 of steel in them not alum. & plastic . Besides who drives to be safe. if that's your primary concern :your in the WRONG place.

[@DJsMinecraftNess]

roger depew your license should be revoked if driving safely isnt a priority of yours, you're not only risking yourself,. but everyone else when you drive. Older vehicles didn't have the same safety standards and tests that we have today, and weren't really made to survive an accident. No airbags alone is enough to kill you, let alone whatever happens to the chassis as well.

[@gingergrows8038]

glad you found a new home Mike. I really miss those wild cars you used to review and hope that you get to continue doing some Frankenstein builds.

[@henrykincaid6821]

A few audio issues but besides that, good show!

[@henrykincaid6821]

And that Daytona is gorgeous!

[@VikingEngr]

As soon as the video started I said to myself "This would be great off the bat if it was presented by Mike Musto" *Hears Mike Musto's voice over* YES.

[@krocialblack]

First Drive lost Chris Harris. Now they lost Mike Musto. If they lose Matt Farah? Drive is *DONE*.

[@RandomVids519]

krocialblack hire derek d! Lol

[@ColinSebern]

/Drive is already done.

[@stanislavpavlov6311]

Hell yeah ! Mike is in the house ! I so can't wait for the next episode.
