Behold the 1963 Chevrolet Impala SS, the crown jewel of the Generation 3 lineup, rolling in on the trusty GM “B” platform. This beauty flaunts a more squared-up look with an aluminum panel, chromed border, and the iconic three-taillight configuration. Under the hood, you could opt for the popular 283 or 327 engines. And if you’re feeling fancy, why not splurge an extra forty-three bucks for those “controversial” power brakes? There’s even a rare factory dash-mounted tachometer, just for kicks!
The 1964 Chevrolet Biscayne may have been marketed as the budget-friendly choice, but this “plain Jane” was no wallflower at the drag strip. Thanks to a few sneaky 409 engines installed by the factory, the Biscayne Fleetmaster could leave more expensive models eating its dust. It’s like showing up to a tuxedo party in a Hawaiian shirt and still stealing the show! Check out these classic images to see why the Biscayne was the underdog that barked louder than its price tag suggested.
The Ford Mustang’s storied history boasts numerous custom editions, yet the 1967 Shelby GT500 Super Snake stands at the pinnacle, partly because Shelby made just one prototype. This one-of-a-kind beast fetched a jaw-dropping $1.3 million at a Mecum auction in 2013, proving that sometimes, one is indeed the loneliest—and most lucrative—number. Fast forward to 2017, and Shelby commemorates this legendary machine with a 50th Anniversary Edition, celebrating half a century of tire-squealing glory.
