In the world of classic cars, the 1970 Plymouth Cuda Convertible 440 4-Speed is like finding a unicorn with a penchant for speed. With only 17 of these beasts equipped with the heavy-duty 4-speed manual gearbox, it’s rarer than a snowstorm in July. Sure, it’s not as elusive as the Hemi Cudas, but when you combine jaw-dropping power, killer looks, and a top that folds faster than a poker player with a bad hand, you’ve got a classic car jackpot.
Ford’s Galaxie strutted its stuff in 1962 and 1963 with style and muscle. The ’62 model, known as “The Lively One,” boasted sporty options like bucket seats and a console, while the ’63 got a facelift, losing its tail fins and gaining a fastback roof for NASCAR flair. Engine swaps were afoot, with the 406 replaced by a ferocious 427 V8, making it a beast on the road. But alas, even with power galore, the Galaxie had a weighty issue—proving you can’t have your cake and eat it too, even if it’s a car!
The Ford Mustang GT350, often hailed as the muscle car with a racetrack edge, has recently come under the spotlight for some peculiar engine “ventilation” – holes near the exhaust tips. While some might think these are Ford’s secret turbo boosters, others wonder if it’s just a quirky design choice to let the engine “breathe” a little easier. Meanwhile, Ford’s busy spending millions on a Wind Tunnel Facility, presumably to make sure nothing else accidentally gets extra holes!
