Five muscle cars and dragsters in this roundup share one trait: their engines refused to stay hidden under the hood. One entry, a supercharged coupe nicknamed the “Screwed Coupe,” even had its own model year corrected by sharp-eyed viewers in the comments.

Find out why builders cut through sheet metal on purpose, and just how much boost these vintage chassis are being asked to survive.
