In 1974, the Ford Gran Torino Elite was the epitome of muscle car evolution, albeit with a bit of a power diet. Thanks to EPA mandates, it traded horsepower for cleaner emissions, making it the eco-friendly giant of its time.

It’s like putting a sumo wrestler on a treadmill—impressive but still amusingly hefty!

In 1970, the Plymouth GTX, the luxurious cousin of the budget-friendly Roadrunner, tried to woo car lovers with its sleek lines and shared power options. Alas, there was no convertible to flaunt in the wind, but a “Grabber” hood returned, now with a single, centered opening on a “power bulge” that probably made other cars blush. Under the hood, the 440 engine was standard, with the tantalizing 440 six-pack or the more seductive 426 Hemi for those who lived life in the fast lane.
In the quirky world of automotive history, Sylvester Roper was steaming ahead with vehicles in 1859. Fast forward to 1900, and the Dodge brothers were revving up Detroit with their quality car parts. Meanwhile, Rudolf Diesel was busy creating engines that could ignite without a spark—now that’s a hot idea! By 1921, the roads were jam-packed, prompting the government to get its highway groove on. And in 2014, Panasonic and Tesla teamed up to build a battery gigafactory, electrifying the future of cars!
In the ever-thrilling world of 1960s NASCAR, the Ford Galaxie 500 was like the plucky underdog trying to shed a few pounds to keep up with the cool kids.

In the world of muscle cars, the 1968 Ford Mustang GT500KR roars to life with its 428 “Cobra Jet” engine, which, let’s be honest, is about as “under-rated” as a rockstar at karaoke night. Churning out a hulking 440 ft-lbs of torque, this beast could probably tow a small planet if it wanted. After its Le Mans victories, the GT500KR strutted its stuff with die-cast aluminum valve covers, proudly shouting “Cobra Lemans” like a tattoo of triumph. Alas, its name was retired before 1969, much like disco should’ve been.
In the spirit of Henry Ford, who famously quipped, “Don’t find fault, find a remedy, anyone can complain,” let’s rev up our engines and cruise past the roadblocks of negativity.
