Meet the Dodge Charger 1971 R/T 426 Hemi Pilot Car, a vehicle that’s both a trailblazer and a finale. It’s the inaugural 1971 Dodge Charger Hemi, marking the debut of the new body style. Simultaneously, it’s the last hurrah for the legendary 426 Hemi engine. As the pilot car, it wasn’t meant for public roads, yet it slipped out of the factory like a rebellious teenager and cruised to Mr. Norm’s Grand Spaulding Dodge in Chicago. It’s a story as cool as the car itself!
The Ford Mustang Boss 429, a real heavyweight of its time, was Ford’s bold attempt to challenge the Chrysler 426 Hemi on the NASCAR tracks. With an engine so big, it needed a trunk relocation for the battery—because who needs trunk space anyway? Kar Kraft had to re-engineer the Mustang just to fit this beast under the hood. The result? A 375 hp engine that laughs at its own rating, easily roaring past 600 hp with tweaks. The Boss 429 is a muscle car icon, proving that size does matter!

The Cadillac Series 62, a classic symbol of automotive luxury, rolled off production lines from 1940 to 1964, with a brief identity crisis in 1959 when it became the “6200” series. The 1951 Coupe De Ville flaunted its flair with a chrome overdose—think full-length chromed rocker panels and a fancy rear roof pillar script. Under the hood, a 331 CID V8 engine paired with a 4-speed automatic transmission powered this beauty, offering the exhilarating fuel economy of 12 miles per gallon at a leisurely 45 mph.
