Forget your average ride, this beast is paired with a TH350 automatic transmission and a shift kit that might just make your grandma want to drag race. Who knew 1963 could be this much fun?

The factory original interior remains in such great shape, it seems to have aged better than most of us during lockdown. This four-wheeled time capsule is a testament to the days when cars had more personality than your average sitcom cast. Enjoy the ride down memory lane!
Meet Alf and his stunning 1965 Chevy II Nova SS, a true muscle car prowling the streets of Adelaide, Australia. Imported in 2008, this beauty flaunts its original California plates and showroom condition, thanks to Alf’s meticulous care. With a 283 engine and two-speed PowerGlide transmission, it’s nearly original—except for the cheeky Flowmaster mufflers for extra oomph. Alf even ditched the dealer-installed AC for authenticity, a decision he might sweat over during summer cruises!
The 1979 Chevrolet Malibu Wagon marks the dawn of a new era, tossing aside the Chevelle name like yesterday’s news. This generation is shorter, lighter, and more efficient, but for muscle car fans, it might be as thrilling as a Sunday drive with grandma. Under the hood, the lineup kicks off with a modest 200 CID-V6, climbing to a 305 CID V8 for those craving a bit more grunt. The wagon here, though, is a sleeper with IROC tune port induction and a 700R4 automatic, ready to surprise unsuspecting drivers.
In 1965, Carroll Shelby took a Mustang, gave it a protein shake, a gym membership, and turned it into the GT350. Imagine a Mustang on a caffeine high; that’s what happens when you boost it from 271 to 306 horsepower. Shelby didn’t stop there—he tossed in a close-ratio transmission from his Cobra and souped-up the suspension, making the car handle like a caffeinated cheetah. All this magic happened in a Southern California factory, proving that sunshine and horsepower make a perfect blend.
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.
