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.
In the world of Caterham, power is not just an option—it’s a lifestyle. From the 1972 Lotus twin camshaft origins to the record-setting 1993 JPE Special Edition, these lightweight speed demons have evolved faster than a caffeine-fueled cheetah. The R500 series, with a Rover K-series engine, rockets from 0-100 mph in just 8.2 seconds, leaving even high-end Ferraris in the dust. These cars are so light, they might just float away if not for their blistering speed!
In the quirky world of muscle cars, few are as unique as the 1968 Oldsmobile FWD Fouranado 442.

Fred Mandrick, its proud owner since 2012, stumbled upon this “barn find” while flipping through a history book. Now restored to its former glory, this peculiar beast was the star at the 2013 Muscle Car and Corvette National.

Born from the Chrysler “B” body platform, this mid-size marvel took a page from the Roadrunner and Charger playbook, cruising onto the scene with an irresistible swagger.
