Finished in deep LeMans Blue, this 1969 Chevrolet Impala Custom SS looks like a stately cruiser until you discover the genuine 427 big-block under the hood. Owner Arnold Boris has kept it since 2007, and it’s a real Super Sport, not a tribute, restored to showroom-new condition. It’s proof that muscle came in full-size form, too. Hear the 427 and see why this Impala deserves a second look.
Tom Lembeck has owned fourteen different 1970 Plymouth Cuda convertibles — and on My Car Story with Lou Costabile, he explains why this Jamaica Blue example with its 440 big block is the one that stuck. It is not the rarest paint color or the flashiest restoration; it is the engine bay that separates this car from the other thirteen. Two decades of ownership later, Tom still calls it his favorite. Find out what makes a collector’s fourteenth car outrank the first thirteen.
A 1970 Dodge Challenger R/T in blue with a black convertible top might look understated at first glance, but the matching-numbers 383 and factory Hurst Pistol Grip four-speed underneath tell a different story. This is a genuine survivor with its original drivetrain intact, backed by one of the most iconic shifters ever bolted into a muscle car. Here’s what makes this combination so special to Mopar collectors.
Two Chevelle SS builds, one in red and one in blue, are parked side by side — and muscle car fans have been arguing over paint colors like this since the SS badge debuted in 1966. Both cars wear the aggressive stance that made the Chevelle SS one of GM’s most collectible muscle cars, backed by the big-block engines — from the 396 to the legendary LS6 454 — that built the SS reputation in the first place.
