Ford Motors V8 Engine Series-MEL-FE-FT Families part 2 of 3 1958-’76

by Ross Mills

The Ford V8 engine saga continues with the 410 cu in powerhouse, delivering a punchy 345 hp and 475 ft-lb of torque, initially found in the short-lived Edsel. The mighty 430 cu in engine, dubbed the “Bulldozer,” made waves in Lincoln and Mercury models, hitting a historic 400 hp in ’58. Even yachts and race cars couldn’t resist its allure, with Bertram Yachts and dragsters flaunting its raw power. By ’66, the 430 bowed out, making way for the MEL 462, proving Ford’s engines were always ahead of the curve.

1971 Oldsmobile 4-4-2

by Ross Mills

In 1971, the Oldsmobile 4-4-2 faced the muscle car apocalypse: EPA regulations! With unleaded fuel and low compression, horsepower ratings dropped faster than a lead foot at a red light. Despite this, the 4-4-2 strutted its stuff with unique features like a black grille, silver headlight bezels, and the ever-so-stylish vertically challenged taillights. Oldsmobile’s W-Machine, the W-30, still packed a punch, proving that even in a downturn, this muscle car was the GTO’s suave cousin.

Pontiac GTO 1968 and 1969

by Ross Mills

The Pontiac GTO of 1968 and 1969 brought muscle and style with a touch of humor. The ’68 model shed its vent windows for a curvier look, boasting dual hood scoops and hidden wipers. Fast-forward to ’69, the GTO lost those vents completely, added side marker lights, and moved the ignition key to the steering column. The highlight? “The Judge” model, inspired by Sammy Davis Jr.’s “Here Come da Judge” routine, became a cultural icon with its catchy slogans and bold colors.

Dodge Charger 1969 Daytona

by Ross Mills

The 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona was born out of necessity, but it became an icon of speed—and questionable fashion choices. With a nose piece that added 1,200 pounds of down-force and a rear wing that looked like it moonlighted as a surfboard, this car wasn’t winning beauty contests, but it sure won races. The 440 Magnum engine roared to 205 mph, while the optional 426 Hemi made it a rocket on wheels. Alas, the Daytona’s glory days ended with a new NASCAR rule, proving even legends need to retire.

Chevrolet Camaro 1967 to 2002

by Ross Mills

Chevrolet’s Camaro, initially code-named Panther, roared onto the scene in 1966, aiming to devour Mustangs like a “small vicious animal.” From the first-gen ’67-’69 classic to the sleek fourth-gen ’93-’02 models, the Camaro evolved with a flair for style and speed. Notably, the ’70 SS 350 was hailed as a top ten car globally. By the ’80s, fuel injection modernized the beast, while the ’90s saw anti-lock brakes as standard. As Camaro celebrated 35 years, its legacy remained a thrilling ride through automotive history.
