Mercury Comet 1964 A/FX 427

by Kiril

Back in the groovy days of 1964, Super Stock drag racing was all the rage with cars that looked normal but zoomed faster than a cheetah on roller skates. Enter the Factory Experimental class, where manufacturers got a little wild under the hood while keeping showroom appearances. This 1964 Mercury Comet is an A/FX beast, one of just 21 built. It’s still rocking the same “experimental” speed parts it had back then, like the roaring 425 HP high-riser 427 engine and lightweight fiberglass body panels.

Ferrari Mondial T Cabrolet 1989 images

by Ross Mills

The Ferrari Mondial T Cabriolet is not just a car; it’s a legendary nod to the 500 Mondial race car of the 1950s. Produced from 1980 to 1993, this beauty is as practical as it is quick—think of it as the Swiss Army knife of convertibles. With 6,100 units made, it’s the only rear mid-engine production car that’s a full convertible with room for four. Talk about a backseat driver! Special thanks to Gateway Classic Cars for the stunning images—because who doesn’t love some car eye candy?

by Kiril

Meet the Chevrolet Camaro 2010 Widebody, a beast of a machine that’s been reworked from front to back! Under the hood lies an LS Motor with a mind-blowing 1500 horsepower, ready to unleash fury on the rear wheels. And let’s not forget the sound—if the looks don’t win you over, the roaring engine definitely will. This isn’t just any Camaro; it’s a ground-pounding, ear-pleasing, jaw-dropping marvel. Check it out and prepare to be smitten!

Plymouth Road Runner 1970 383 in Lemon Twist Yellow

by Kiril

In the vibrant hue of Lemon Twist Yellow, the 1970 Plymouth Road Runner with its throaty 383 engine and Hurst Pistol Grip 4 Speed Shifter is a sight to behold. Owners Brian and Pat Kelly reflect on their high school days as they rev up this beauty, which Brian first acquired in a less-than-stellar “Rattle Canned” state. After some sage advice and a touch of restoration magic, this car now turns heads as easily as it turns corners. It’s a blast from the past, now with a showroom shine!

Jaguar XKE Series I-1961 to “68

by Ross Mills

The Jaguar XKE Series I, crafted from 1961 to 1968, is a legend wrapped in a sleek, stylish body that even Enzo Ferrari dubbed “the most beautiful automobile ever.” With a 3.8-liter engine and a later upgrade to 4.2 liters, it was the sports car that could whisk you from zero to “I’m late for tea” in about 7 seconds. Known for its quirks like a hood latch that required a special tool, it’s no wonder collectors clamored to keep these beauties in mint condition.

Chevrolet El Camino third generation 1968 to 1972

by Ross Mills

The third-gen Chevrolet El Camino, 1968-1972, truly revved up the muscle car game with its Malibu-inspired style and Chevelle platform. In ’68, it flaunted options like posi-traction and a power disk brake for those who wanted to stop as impressively as they could go. The high-performance SS debuted, with engines roaring up to 375 bhp. By 1970, it could house a monstrous LS6 454 engine, racing through the quarter-mile in 13 seconds! Alas, emissions rules in ’71 took a bit of the vroom out of its zoom.

Plymouth Barracuda V-8 1965 images

by Ross Mills

Get ready to rev your engines as we zoom into the world of the 1965 Plymouth Barracuda V-8! This compact beast rides on the Valiant “A” platform, boasting a rear window so massive it could double as a sunroof for giants. While American models flaunt a 225 cu in slant-6 engine, our northern neighbors cruise with a 170 cu in version. And if you crave more power, the 273 cu in V8 with a two or four-barrel option has you covered. It’s like choosing between a double cheeseburger and a quadruple stack!

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!
