The 1966 Shelby GT 350 Mustang roars back into the spotlight, ditching trunk-mounted batteries and last year’s traction bars like unwanted karaoke partners. Carroll Shelby’s magic touch transformed 252 ’65 models into a whopping 2,378 units of pure American muscle. With optional Paxton Super-chargers and Selectshift automatics, this beauty is a symphony of power and choice. And, oh, those rear quarter panel windows replacing side vents—because who needs extra ventilation when you can have style?

This week, we’re taking a look at a very rare 1969 Oldsmobile 442 with the W-30 Outside Air Induction setup. It’s also one of only a few built that were originally sold in Canada. From […]

This ’69 Yenko is one of only 201 built and its owner hope it will sell for over $300k at auction. This classic scores top points in collectibility and condition, but has this owner overshot […]

The 1967 Plymouth Satellite, riding high on the Chrysler “B” platform, was the Belvedere’s snazzy cousin, sporting a new grill and flashy taillights to boot. Not content with just good looks, this mid-priced charmer offered a choice between a 2-barrel or 4-barrel carburetor for its standard 383 engine. Available only as a 2-door hardtop or convertible, it’s like the Satellite was saying, “Who needs doors when you’ve got style?” A hearty thanks to Gateway Classic Cars for the snazzy pics—they’re out of this world!

In 1970, the Ford Ranchero 500 underwent a facelift that was as subtle as a wink from across the room. Gone was the “Torino” or “Fairlane” badge above the glove box, replaced with a bold “Ranchero” or “Ranchero GT” label—because who needs ambiguity, right? The exterior got a sleek makeover with a pointy grill and aerodynamic “coke bottle” styling, ensuring it cut through the wind like a buttered bullet. And let’s not forget the swanky “Squire” trim, adding woodgrain flair reminiscent of a country club on wheels.

This is a modified creation built to look – and perform – like a 1970 Plymouth Superbird “wing car”, but is a handmade version that started life as a 1970 Plymouth Satellite. Republished by Blog […]

Introducing the Chevrolet Camaro 1969 Pace Car Convertible, the ultimate showstopper in the muscle car universe! This baby isn’t just any Camaro; it’s the highest option model ever built. It’s like the Swiss Army knife of Camaros—featuring both SS and RS packages, air conditioning to keep you cool as you rev up, and an Endura bumper that says, “I mean business!” With a Rosewood steering wheel and TILT column, it’s practically a mobile luxury suite. And let’s not forget the tach and gauge package—because why guess your speed when you can flaunt it?

Rev up your nostalgia engines—it’s time to talk about the classic 1966 Dodge Coronet 500, factory-fitted with the legendary 426 Hemi V-8. This beauty is rarer than finding a needle in a haystack, except the needle is a roaring powerhouse of American muscle! With such low mileage, it’s like the car’s been in a time capsule, probably too busy sipping tea and reminiscing about the good ol’ days. Ready to be blown away? Check it out and prepare to drool like a kid in a candy store!

The 1966 Pontiac GTO, affectionately dubbed “The Goat,” didn’t just break sales records; it kicked them to the curb with a whopping 98,946 units sold. Despite Pontiac’s attempts to market it as “The GTO Tiger,” the quirky nickname stuck like gum on a shoe. With two beastly V8 engines and four transmission options, this car was a gearhead’s dream. The tri-power option met its demise midway, replaced by the XS engine, but it didn’t quite roar with consumers. Only about 35 XS beasts were unleashed by the factory!
