Oldsmobile built some of the most potent Muscle Cars of the era, and the 1970 Oldsmobile 442 W-30 4-Speed Convertible is no exception. This beauty roars with a 370 HP W-30 455 V8 and a close ratio Muncie 4-Speed transmission. It’s so rare, even unicorns get jealous—with only a few ever built featuring the W27 aluminum rear axle. Its story traces back to its original order by Robert “Rug” Kazley at Hansel Olds. Talk about a car with a pedigree!

Behold the Ford Restomod Roadster 1932, where the spirit of ’32 meets the style of the ’40s and the muscle of a Pontiac 400. This classic beauty sports a ’40 Ford dash with new-but-old-looking gauges, a steering wheel to match, and seats that scream ‘vintage charm’ but whisper ‘genuine leather.’ Underneath, it’s a chrome lover’s dream, boasting a shiny undercarriage and a flashy Winners V8 quick-change differential. With Firestone dirt track tires, this roadster isn’t just a car—it’s a time-traveling showstopper!
The 1970 Dodge Challenger T/A, a one-hit wonder in the muscle car world, is like the unicorn of the automotive realm—rare and highly sought after. Imagine being one of the lucky 1,410 automatic owners, and to top it off, having a triple black paint job that screams “I’m too cool for color!” With a 340 Six Pack engine that sounds more like a caffeinated beast than a car, this street version of the Trans Am race car is enough to make any muscle car enthusiast drool like a dog at a barbecue.
In 1966, Chevy rolled out the Nova SS, a lean, mean machine inspired by the Super Nova concept. With a standard 194 cu in inline six-cylinder engine, it was ready to purr on the roads. Of course, Chevy offered the option to pack more punch with its array of big and small blocks. The Base SS was a steal, costing just $159 more than the entry 400 version. Thanks to Gateway classic cars, you can feast your eyes on these beauties. Because nothing says ’66 like a Nova SS – the car so nice, they named it twice!
Driving the Ford Mustang Shelby GT350R feels like holding a thunderstorm on a leash. It’s probably the greatest Mustang ever built—like taming a wild stallion with a penchant for speed limits and a distaste for quiet neighborhoods. This beast roars to life with a soundtrack that could wake the dead and your neighbors. With a V8 engine that seems to have its own rock concert, the GT350R doesn’t just drive; it performs, leaving you grinning like you’ve just found the last parking spot at a sold-out concert.
