Buick GSX 1970-1974

by Ross Mills

The Buick GSX from 1970 to 1974 was Buick’s flashy response to the muscle car craze, boasting slogans like “Light Your Fire Cars from Buick.” Originally adorned only in Saturn Yellow or Apollo White, it packed a punch with a 455 V8 engine and optional Stage 1 kit, producing 350hp. Enthusiasts argue whether it could outpace the Hemi ‘cuda. Fancy a rare Stage 2? Look for Edelbrock B4B intakes and “Kustom” headers. Auction prices hint you’ll need deep pockets for this classic—maybe even a spare kidney!

Pontiac Trans-Am & Banshee Roots

by Ross Mills

In the wild world of fuel crises and emissions regulations, Pontiac’s engineers turned the Trans-Am into a fuel-sipping, aerodynamic marvel. By 1982, the third-gen Trans-Am shed pounds like it was prepping for a high school reunion, boasting hidden headlights and a spoiler that whispered, “I’m sporty, yet eco-friendly.” Meanwhile, the Banshee concept, a car that could’ve starred in its own sci-fi flick, lent its futuristic flair to the Trans-Am saga, proving that sometimes, the future is just a concept car away.

Dodge Coronet 1969 images

by Ross Mills

In 1969, Dodge revved up the Coronet with the “Super-Bee” on the Chrysler B-body platform, sharing some sibling rivalry with the Charger. Mid-year, they dropped the A12 package like a mic, featuring a roaring 440 engine with a six-pack carburetor setup, a lift-off fiberglass hood, and metal pins that scream “don’t mess with me.” This one-year wonder also flaunts heavy-duty suspension and 15-inch wheels, making it the muscle car equivalent of a gym bro on wheels. Thanks to Gateway Classic Cars for the eye candy!

2+2 = FAST! One of the Rarest Pontiac’s of the 60’s Beats 67 Barracuda w/ 383

by Pat C

In June 1976, cruising Gratiot Avenue, I was sure my beefed-up ’67 Barracuda was unbeatable—until a Pontiac 2+2 convertible rolled up. With a 421 tri-power engine, it left me red-faced and $50 lighter. This rare beast, a big brother to the GTO, packed 376 HP and 461 ft. lbs. of torque. Though never hitting GTO sales, it wowed with dual exhausts and heavy-duty springs. The 2+2 even tried a comeback in ’86, but like my race victory that day, it was short-lived!

Chrysler Hemi Power 3 of 5

by Ross Mills

Dodge’s engine lineup in the ’50s was like a family reunion where nobody looked alike! From the “baby Hemi” to the polyspheric heads, it was a smorgasbord of engineering. The 1953 Dodge Red Ram Hemi got things rolling, but it was the 325-cubic-inch engine in ’57 that had enthusiasts revving with excitement. With variants like the KD-500-1, featuring dual four-barrel carburetors, even the engines had more carbs than your average pasta dinner. Talk about a power-packed decade!
