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.

Sunbeam Tiger Roadster V8 1964 to 1967

by Ross Mills

The Sunbeam Tiger roared into existence between 1964 and 1967, thanks to a wild plot involving Carroll Shelby, a Ford V8, and some sneaky engineering. Originally inspired by a 1925 land speed record holder, the Tiger ditched the Alpine’s old engine for a brawny V8. Shelby, fresh off his AC Cobra triumph, found a way to squeeze the Ford beast under the hood, stirring quite the fuss. Even Lord Rootes was charmed after demanding a test drive. They even used sledgehammers to fit the engine—talk about a smashing success!

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!

Chevrolet Corvette Second Generation the Mid Years

by Ross Mills

The Chevy Corvette is hitting its stride in its second generation, 1963-1967, when it morphed into the iconic Sting Ray, inspired by a Mako Shark and a concept car. The ’63 model flaunted a split rear window, dropped for visibility reasons faster than a bad blind date. Hidden headlights and a 360 BHP engine made jaws drop. By ’67, the Corvette went on a chrome diet, and its “L88” engine, rumored at 560 BHP, was as understated as a peacock. Who knew mid-years could be so thrilling?
