In the quirky world of muscle cars, few are as unique as the 1968 Oldsmobile FWD Fouranado 442. An experimental hybrid of front-wheel drive and classic muscle, it was a one-off brainchild of Oldsmobile engineers and the Hurst team during the inaugural Hurst/Olds collaboration. 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.

From the reign of classic muscle cars, here are two that we just can’t get over. Both of these cars are powerful and impressive.  Here’s why we’ll never forget these American roadsters.   1970 Chevrolet Chevelle […]

Get ready to feast your eyes on the legendary 1969 Dodge Super Bee! 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. In ’68, it strutted as a pillared hardtop, but by ’69, it went topless—pillarless, that is! Under the hood, you’ll find engines that roar louder than a rock concert: the 383 Magnum, 440 Six Pack, or the mighty 426 Hemi. Our thanks to Gateway Classic Cars for these drool-worthy images!

The Jaguar XKE, a British marvel, underwent some quirky transformations from 1969 to 1974. The Series II ditched glass headlamp covers for a shiner look, while the Series III roared to life with a V12 engine—think of it as two XK6s in a V-shaped tango. The E Type’s evolution also meant more comfort, but alas, U.S. regulations demanded rubber bumper extensions, making it the car equivalent of a sumo suit. Fast and furious, the 1972 V12 could hit 135 mph, leaving you grinning like a Cheshire cat.

Behold the 1966 Shelby GT350 Mustang Convertible: a car so legendary, even its rear-view mirror reflects pure awe. Originally a humble 23,000-mile C-code convertible, its Texan owner decided it needed a little more vroom-vroom and embarked on a quest to build the ultimate Shelby GT350 convertible. Armed with genuine Shelby Hi-Po components, this Mustang now roars with the spirit of a thousand horsepower horses. It’s the automotive version of a superhero origin story—minus the spandex.
