AC Cobra Mark III

by Ross Mills

The AC Cobra Mark III is the car that put the ‘zoom’ in ‘vroom’ and made Corvettes cry. Born from a British roadster, it was beefed up in Los Angeles with a Ford engine, transforming into a racing beast. Detroit Ford worked with Shelby to craft the Mark III, boasting a 427 engine that could hit 185 mph on race tracks and leave a trail of awestruck spectators. The British government even imposed speed limits after one Cobra hit 186 mph on the M1! Talk about leaving a mark—or a skid mark, in this case.

by Ross Mills

Chrysler’s “Elephant” Hemi made a heavy comeback in 1964, boasting a whopping 426 cubic inches and enough size to need its own zip code. Known for its robust power, this engine was a hit in NASCAR until it got benched in 1965 for being too exclusive. Revamped for the streets in 1966, the Hemi roared into drag racing fame, proving itself the heavyweight champ. Despite its hefty price tag and appetite for parts, the 426 Hemi remains a legend that left competitors in the dust, or at least eating plenty of it!

Early Muscle to the 1970 Plymouth Superbird

by Ross Mills

In the early days of muscle madness, the 1970 Plymouth Superbird was the king of the asphalt jungle, flaunting a wing so big it could double as a dining table.

It was a time when horsepower was measured in smiles per gallon, and the Superbird delivered with a side of high-speed hilarity, leaving its competition eating dust and questioning their life choices.
