In this episode of Muscle Car Of The Week, we highlight some of the best Blues on Muscle Cars from The Brothers Collection, including a 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona 440 wearing EB5 Blue Fire, a 1967 Shelby GT500 427 Side Oiler in Acapulco Blue, a 1971 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am 455 HO in Lucerne Blue, a 1967 Yenko 427 Camaro in Deepwater Blue, and a 1970 Chevrolet Nova Yenko Deuce in Deep Fathom Blue. Kevin is also a big fan of Blues music, so we chose some cool blues tracks to provide the soundtrack.

1. Muscle Car of the Week Video Episode #166: 1969 Dodge Daytona 440 EB5 Blue Fire
5. 1969 Dodge Daytona
First up is one of our all-time favorite blue colors, code Dodge EB5, named Blue Fire! And man, does it look hot on this 1969 Dodge Daytona! The car was featured on episode number 166 of Muscle Car Of The Week, but Cliff's notes are that it's powered by a factory 375 hp, 440 cubic inch attached to a Torqueflite automatic transmission. And there's blue, for sure, with a color-matched interior. A black Daytona stripe wraps the giant spoiler and tail, and Redline tires break it up a bit. This is a super cool street NASCAR in a great color.
4. Yenko from 1967
Next, we dive into the depths of Deepwater Blue applied to this stunning 1967 Yenko 427 Camaro. This one is quite subtle for a Supercar, but not quite sleepy thanks to the white nose stripe, RS trim package and rally wheels. A hydraulic-cam 427 is a bit unusual for a Yenko, which is normally equipped with a solid lift, but it still made 410 horsepower when it was time to get to work. You can see the full story of this car in episode 199 of Muscle Car Of The Week.
3. Firebird 1971
Pontiacs have always had cool blue options, including the well-worn Lucerne Blue, as seen on this 1971 Trans Am from episode 220 of Muscle Car Of The Week. The factory white stripe stands out against the thick black frame, and we see a small Firebird on the nose, long before it becomes a big bird on the hood. This one smokes the tires thanks to a high-torque 455 HO V8, a mill that relied on a big cam and advanced head design to move plenty of air on demand. This is an unrestored car that has the looks and power to match.
2. 1967 Shelby GT500
Our next blues cruiser is a 1967 Shelby GT500 wearing a deep shade of Acapulco Blue with Wimbledon White stripes. This has been one of our most popular cars in The Brothers collection, and not just because of its awesome looks and Shelby mystique… this one has a 427 V8 under that scooped hood, rather than from the standard 428 version offered when new. You can find out what difference a cubic inch makes and see more about this GT500.
in episode 179 of Muscle Car Of The Week.
1. Yenko Nova from 1970
And finally, we're diving deep into episode 150 of Muscle Car Of The Week featuring a hot 1970 Chevrolet Nova. Not just any Nova, but a screaming LT1-powered Yenko Deuce Nova. This one wears a deep shade of Fathom Blue surrounding crisp white stripes. These cars were screamers, knocking down 13-second quarter-mile times thanks to the high-revving LT1 350 and the Nova's light weight. And here's another deep thought…in addition to Fathom Blue, Chevrolet also had a Fathom Green. For some reason this one reminds me of those late nights in smoky blues joints.
