The NITROUS 55’ Bel Air is back in action with its 2.0 version, and it’s tearing up the no-prep racing scene! With six races and six wins, this beauty defies logic and sanity—especially when you consider it’s only using two out of its three nitrous kits. Talk about overachieving! This Bel Air is not just a pretty face; it’s a track terror, taking down heavyweights like Helleanore and The SILVER UNIT twice each. It’s the no-prep king, proving style and speed can coexist in perfect harmony.

The AMX, a two-seat muscle marvel from American Motors Corporation, roared onto the scene from 1968 to 1970, challenging the Corvette’s reign with its unique steel body and sporty flair. AMC, eager to shed its economy image, lured young thrill-seekers with this high-performance beast powered by a gutsy 390 cu in V8. Despite modest sales, the AMX dazzled at Daytona and set records in Texas, proving it could handle corners with the best of them. This speedster was more than just fast; it was a trendsetter in safety and engineering.

The Ford Galaxie was a full-sized marvel from 1959 to 1961, showcasing a blend of chrome and innovation with features like the impressive retractable hardtop and a power-packed 352 cu in V8 engine. By 1960, the Galaxie shed its flashy ornaments for a sleeker look, introducing the Starliner—a pillarless hardtop coupé with a grand rear window. While the Starliner was short-lived, the Galaxie continued to delight with its powerful 390 CDI V8 engine, proving that even heavyweight classics can move with gusto!

In the thrilling showdown of Ford’s muscle prowess, it’s the iconic American Mustang GT roaring against the nimble European Capri 280.

It’s a clash of cultures, horsepower, and a bit of cheeky rivalry – who knew muscle could be so multicultural? Buckle up for a joyride through transatlantic turbo tales!
