American muscle cars have had a wild ride since the 1930s, captivating drivers with their power and style. However, the 1970s threw a wrench in the gears with regulations and soaring gas prices, leaving muscle cars in the dust. But like a phoenix on wheels, they roared back in the 1980s, thanks to Ford’s Mustang G2 and GM’s Camaro and Pontiac Firebird. Despite their ups and downs, these iconic cars continue to rev our hearts, proving they’re not just a flash in the tailpipe.
John Snowberger, son of Indy 500 legend Russ Snowberger, inherited his father’s knack for crafting exquisite race cars. Starting with wood, John moved to crafting detailed 1/8″ scale models from materials like aluminum. Each model is a labor of love, taking 30-40 hours to meticulously hand-form. Beyond models, John also restores his father’s famed Federal Engineer Specials, driving them at vintage racing events. As they say, “The apple doesn’t fall too far from the tree.”
