The 1968 Plymouth Road Runner was Plymouth’s way of saying, “Who needs fancy when you can have fun?” Built on the Belvedere platform, this muscle car cut the frills to bring you pure speed at a bargain price. Its minimalist interior featured vinyl mats and a floor shifter with no console, but it did boast the iconic “Beep-Beep” horn from the Road Runner cartoons—a sound Plymouth paid Warner Brothers handsomely for. Initially a two-door coupe, its success led to a hardtop version later that year.
Get ready to rev your engines with the 1972 Chevrolet Corvette 454 LS5, a classic American muscle car that’s as iconic as it is thrilling.

Buckle up, because this Corvette is ready to take you on a wild ride!
Meet the Dodge Charger 1971 R/T 426 Hemi Pilot Car, a vehicle that’s both a trailblazer and a finale. It’s the inaugural 1971 Dodge Charger Hemi, marking the debut of the new body style. Simultaneously, it’s the last hurrah for the legendary 426 Hemi engine. As the pilot car, it wasn’t meant for public roads, yet it slipped out of the factory like a rebellious teenager and cruised to Mr. Norm’s Grand Spaulding Dodge in Chicago. It’s a story as cool as the car itself!
George struck gold in Lisbon, Ohio, when he nabbed a classic 1970 Buick Skylark GSX tribute.
