American Muscle Car

Pontiac's pony car went racing in 1969 and lives on today as one of America's favorite street musclecars. The most famous of all Trans Ams were the one with the 455 Super Duty engine!

Super Duty! In the early sixties these two words meant the most powerful engines of any American car. This all-out assault on the speedways of America made Pontiac GM's "WE BUILD EXCITEMENT" car company.

Imagine a car that would do zero to one hundred miles per hour (and back to zero) in under ten seconds. The Cobras had it all - acceleration, braking, handling - and they look fantastic, too. Stand by for the ride of your life!

There's this road race, see, this SCCA Trans Am series? And the Camaro is perfect for it. All they needed was a 500-horsepower 302 cubic-inch engine!

Completely restyled for 1963, Corvette launched into its greatest popularity. Get inside, fire it up, and discover the true heart-pounding excitement of America's one true sports car!

Built for the super speed ways, but available at your local Mopar showroom, the 1969 and '70 Dodge Daytona and the 1970 Plymouth Superbird were the essence of what the Muscle car was (and is) all about.

The 426 Max Wedge and Hemi Plymouths and Dodges blew away everyone in the NHRA Super Stock classes, and gave Chrysler Corporation a head start over Ford and Chevy in the Musclecar wars.

Chrysler Corporation turned their 340 Cudas and Challengers into world-class road racers, and musclecar fans lined up at Chrysler's showrooms for a chance to take them to the streets!

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!

Buick quietly re-entered the supercar wars in the late eighties with a turbocharged 3.8-liter V-6 engine in an all-black Regal. The car was so outrageously fast that it's now among the most collectible cars of all time.

Many people say this is where the musclecar era began. The 55 Chevy was Chevrolet's opening into the world of auto performance. These cars changed America's automotive landscape, and today they're still the most popular collector cars in the world.
