Meet “Agent Orange,” the Plymouth Road Runner that went from burning rubber on Detroit’s drag strips to cruising the streets with a 700HP makeover. Originally a wheelie-popping drag sensation, it now flaunts a rotisserie restoration, minus the cage, thanks to its previous owner. The heart of this beast? A 440 Six Pack engine built by a NASCAR-savvy pal from North Carolina. It’s the car that proves even legends need a little street cred. Just don’t ask it to go grocery shopping—it might wheelie off with your groceries!
Back in the groovy days of 1964, Super Stock drag racing was all the rage with cars that looked normal but zoomed faster than a cheetah on roller skates. Enter the Factory Experimental class, where manufacturers got a little wild under the hood while keeping showroom appearances. This 1964 Mercury Comet is an A/FX beast, one of just 21 built. It’s still rocking the same “experimental” speed parts it had back then, like the roaring 425 HP high-riser 427 engine and lightweight fiberglass body panels.
The letter X has always been shrouded in mystery, like a secret agent with a penchant for fast cars. Today, we’re taking a joyride back to 1967, a time when Plymouth decided to sprinkle some magic dust on just 10 Belvedere GTX convertibles, stuffing them with a 426 Hemi V8 engine. Picture it: this beauty roaring down the road, turning heads faster than a teenager spotting their crush. It’s a rare gem, the unicorn of muscle cars, with just enough X-factor to make James Bond envious.
In a twist of automotive fate, a grandfather-grandson duo embarked on a humorous journey, transforming a 1976 Dodge Aspen R/T into a rare Mexican Super Bee clone. Trading an old Dodge truck for the project, they navigated the quirky world of Mopar enthusiasts, guided by a fellow fan, Matt. With unique parts sourced from Mexico, including a Valiant hood badge from Carlos, they christened their creation “Elvira.” Now, with gratitude and a touch of whimsy, they revel in their one-of-a-kind Super Bee adventure.
Rev your engines and travel back to 1965, when Chevy decided to mix muscle with Malibu sunshine. Enter the Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu SS396 Z-16, a ride so rare you’d have better luck finding a needle in a haystack—or a unicorn in your backyard. With only 201 built to flaunt the new 396 engine, it was the automotive equivalent of a mic drop. Fast forward to 2015, where the Muscle Car and Corvette Nationals put on a show-stopping Z-16 Invitational Display, featuring 9 of the surviving 75. Talk about exclusive!
Behold the legendary Oldsmobile Cutlass 1971 SX Ram Air 455—a rare gem from the golden era of American muscle cars!

Whether you’re cruising for compliments or just want to win the neighborhood’s loudest engine contest, this Cutlass is your ticket to nostalgic glory!
Behold the Lamborghini Aventador LP 700-4, a car so fast it could outrun your morning alarm! Unveiled in Geneva, this carbon-fiber masterpiece is a limited edition speedster, boasting a V12 engine that roars to 217 mph.

And if you fancy a convertible, the Roadster version offers the same thrilling ride—with a bit more wind in your hair. It’s luxury, speed, and style—wrapped in a sleek Italian package!
Revving up nostalgia with a modern twist, the 1973 Oldsmobile Cutlass 442 Restomod Custom is the brainchild of Jeff Schwartz from Schwartz Performance Inc. When the owner craved more horsepower under the hood, Jeff delivered with gusto, crafting custom-built front body pieces that respect the car’s classic vibe. The pièce de résistance? A jaw-dropping engine transformation that makes this oldie a track-ready beast. It’s like taking your grandpa to the gym and watching him bench press a Buick. Love it? We sure do!
Take a joyride back to 1964 with the classic Chevy Impala Convertible, now packing a punch with a built 427 full roller big block, delivering a staggering 550 horsepower.
