American Muscle Car
Ford's 427 Fairlanes and Torino Talladegas had one purpose - to sweep the Hemi Mopars off the high-banked NASCAR tracks. And they did, too!
Chrysler 300's were expensive and luxurious, but thanks to the Hemi engine and the big bad Max Wedge, they were the fastest things on the road and the early NASCAR tracks.
Saleen started in the eighties, road-racing 5-liter Mustangs. Saleen Mustangs are now the most feared road racers in endurance racing competition, and on the street.
A car which succeeded wonderfully following the original muscle car concept - find the lightest body you can, put in the biggest engine you've got (even the Hemi!), and hang on!
One of the greatest supercars ever built, for the street or the track, and the first two-seat sports car built since the Corvette and the early T-Bird. Close to ten thousand of these lightning-fast cars stuffed a lot of wisecracks about Ramblers being slow and boring!
These cars were called "COPOs," for Central Office Production Order. If you knew the right numbers, you could order a street-legal Chevrolet racecar direct from the factory!
