Chase Classic Motors serves up a sunny 1970 Dodge Challenger RT/SE—the Mopar that arrived late to the pony car party but left a massive mark on American culture. While Mustang and Camaro already owned the streets, the Challenger brought big-block power, movie star style, and pure 70s swagger. In this episode, Eric troubleshoots a rough-running 383 V8 and a sudden coolant leak, while Ross explores how a cash-strapped Chrysler launched this icon just as the muscle car era began to fade. Don’t miss the Vanishing Point of this classic car story!

Why did this car look like a TAXI and cost as much as a CADILLAC?! In their Season 4 debut, Chase Classic Motors looks into the history of the Checker Motor Corporation and their iconic passenger cars. This small Michigan automaker grew out of the rough and dangerous world of the big city cab business and its 1920s mob connections to become the gold standard in taxi cabs: cars with rugged construction and iconic looks. But did you know that Checker also produced family cars and luxury wagons for the growing suburban market? Now the boys will explore the remarkable history of a very special station wagon: Eric's 1965 Marathon A12W that was ordered with nearly every available option for the L.A. Auto Show that year! This wagon has factory air conditioning, fancy wheels, two-tone paint, tinted glass, a trailer towing package, heavy-duty brakes, and the high-output 327ci Chevrolet small-block V8 pumping out over 250hp! At a time when most Checker cars were stripped down 6-cylinder taxi cabs featured in TV shows "TAXI" and films like "Taxi Driver", Checker's 1960s SUPER WAGON was a break from boring tradition and a groovy step up to exciting world of California cruising with surf, sun, and fun! Eric recounts the story of this remarkable piece of automotive nostalgia and a true American original as Ross digs into the history that made Checker cars forgotten and forsaken even when they were new. In their mission to serve and protect great cars, perhaps no car was truly more deserving of a survival story and it's one you simply won't believe!

In their Season 3 Finale, Chase Classic Motors explores the history and legacy of America's most celebrated and legendary police car: the Chevrolet Caprice 9C1 Police Package... the Bowtie with a Badge! Built from 1977-1996, Chevrolet's full-size Impala and Caprice police cruiser began as a downsized and utilitarian workhorse. Although unable to compete with its rivals from Chrysler and Ford in the power and performance categories as a rookie, it gradually got better, sleeker, and faster. Eventually, despite its controversial restyling in the 90s, the Caprice 9C1 rose through the ranks to become the fastest and most capable four-door police car of all-time by 1996! However, just as the Caprice 9C1 achieved its legendary status, GM execs pulled the plug and left police officers and fleet managers across the USA in mourning for their beloved V8-powered behemoth. Yet 30 years after its last patrol, this simple and stately GM sedan continues to fascinate fans across the world to this day. To find out what happened to America's favorite enforcement machine and why their popular 1990 Caprice 9C1 is suffering from a no-start failure, Ross and Eric roll up their sleeves to investigate the legend up close. They have just 48 hours to get their prized Chevy police car running again and back in uniform in time for the annual Michigan Sheriff's National Night Out. It's the GREATEST POLICE CAR STORY EVER TOLD and you're along for the ride as Chase Classic Motors sets the record straight and provides you with the definitive history of the Chevrolet Caprice 9C1 Police Car: a law enforcement legend and an American automotive icon!

After tackling the horrendous HT 4100 engine that powers this frightening 1985 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham Funeral Coach, Eric and Ross have only 90 days left to finish their restoration. Then it's off for a test drive before taking their slow ride to "HearseFest" where they will participate in an attempt to set the world record for the longest parade of funeral cars!

Chase Classic Motors takes on the repair of a bizarre 1975 luxury RV made by the Barth Motorhome Company! The owner is a Detroit Lions "Super Fan" who wants to turn it into the ultimate retro tailgate party machine. Now, Ross and Eric are tasked with finding out why this classic RV is unable to exceed 25mph at wide open throttle. Perhaps once they get this RV running again, they will be able to party on and celebrate the new year with new friends, new projects, and some amazing new car stories in 2026!

Chase Classic Motors takes an honest look at the future of "muscle cars" with an in-depth review of the most impressive and offensive Mopar of the 21st century: the 2025 Dodge Charger Daytona EV Scat Pack. Why did Dodge's gamble on EV-technology nearly cost them their reputation as a performance brand? How can a super-coupe with gorgeous styling and 700hp manage to offend both the mainstream Mopar community and the alternative EV-buyers community at the same time? And how can a car that does 0-60mph in 3-seconds be simultaneously thrilling as well as boring? To find out, Eric and Ross go for a ride with Robert Miller from the YouTube channel http://www.youtube.com/@UCjBcnjHdusjZjx8vWMS5rww to find the answers. See what happens when a pair of classic car guys from Detroit peer through the looking glass into the future of muscle cars as we know it. After a few high-speed runs in this electronic marvel, their views on the future of American car culture, classic muscle cars, and Mopar police cars may surprise you!

Chase Classic Motors is now in session and we’re welcoming a new presiding justice: the 1969 Pontiac GTO Judge! With its iconic look, muscular flanks, brutal performance, and high-class interior options, the Judge was a flashy jurist who pronounced sentence on the street during the zenith of the muscle car wars. Unfortunately, our customer is holding the previous workshop in contempt after discovering damage to the start motor pinion and ring gear. That means Eric will be pulling and rebuilding the Muncie 4-speed transmission along with showing us how to replace the ring gear, clutch, and starter motor. Until finally, after a long and lengthy appeal, perhaps this Judge will knock our socks off with its streetwise ruling and surprise us with its fascinating story. So, let’s all rise for the Judge and bring this court to order as we drive a true member of muscle car royalty around the streets of Detroit!

Chase Classic Motors is weighing anchor and diving deep into America's most popular sports car with a nautical name: the Chevrolet Corvette! With nearly 75 years of history as the USA's first purpose-built sports car, the Corvette has lasted through 8-generations as an automobile designed strictly for fun and to be the most aspirational and cherished of GM's performance cars. Yet despite its fascinating heritage, the 3rd-generation Corvette (the C3) remains the black sheep of this legendary family. When it debuted in 1968, the C3 "Shark" had several industry-firsts for an American car. It cut an unmistakably sleek and aquatic profile, boasted incredible V8 power, and featured a long list of accolades and track-bred skills to match. The C3 is also the best-selling Corvette of any generation before or since and it was immortalized in popular culture as America's dream machine. Yet today, the Corvette C3 is lost in a sea of more coveted classics... the question is WHY? To find out what went wrong, the boys will dive into their customer's triple black 1980 'Vette to uncover why it is acting so slow and sluggish. As they work their way through the engine trouble, they will also look at the history of the Corvette from 1953 - 1982; and look into the car's lineage and evolution of design. Perhaps only then will they be able to uncover the truth behind this intrepid little warship that triumphed in the moment; but would ultimately sink under the weight of its own success!

It's time for answers... it's time for fun... it's time for IMPERIAL! The 1981 Imperial by Chrysler was supposed to summon the return of a premium American luxury brand. Instead, it humiliated the company! Now Chase Classic Motors brings you the hard facts and sets to find out why this famous flop happened. How did a car this expensive, this technologically advanced, and this good looking manage to embarrass not only its celebrity CEO Lee Iacocca, but also the Chairman of the Board himself, one Mr. Frank Sinatra? Truth is stranger than fiction when the boys uncover an original 1981 Imperial for just $500! Now they have a chance to learn all about the car that doomed Chrysler's company fortunes and why it courts controversy among Mopar fans to this very day. Chrysler famously balked at their own EFI system and replaced it with carburetors following complaints from owners. Now Ross and Eric are on a mission to revive the jet-set spirit of the 80s Imperial and bring this abandoned luxury car back to life. They will show you all the research that went into learning how the notorious "constant-flow" fuel-injection system actually works. Then we'll see if they can make the V8 SING just like "Ol' Blue Eyes" himself. It's time for this Imperial to run again!
