In 1970, Torino took the spotlight with its sleek coke bottle styling and a model lineup as diverse as a buffet—17 flavors to choose from! The Fairlane was the entry-level dish, while the Falcon came with rubber mats, making it the fast-food option of the bunch. Interiors got a makeover too, with a snazzy speedometer and a new ribbon tachometer. The Torino Cobra was the spicy two-door fastback, thrilling enough to make Motor Trend call it “completely different”—and we all know how rare that is in car talk!

Ferrari 250 GTO

by Ross Mills

Muscle cars generally hail from the USA, but the Ferrari 250 GTO, with its zippy speed and feather-light body, makes a compelling case for an exception. Born between 1962 and 1964, only 36 of these Italian stallions were made. Designed for GT racing, it flaunted a 3.0L V12 engine and minimalist interior—forget about a speedometer. Despite rocky beginnings, it zoomed to fame, winning races and collectors’ hearts, skyrocketing from a modest $18,000 to a jaw-dropping $13 million.
