Based on the rather staid Satellite coupe, this 1967 Plymouth GTX was in fact a roadburner of the first order. Standard engine was the 440 cubic inch, 375 horsepower V8. From the David Disiere collection.
Offered in limited numbers (so it would qualify as a “stock car” and NASCAR would let it onto its race tracks), the 1970 Plymouth Superbird features a special aerodynamic front end and outrageous rear wing. From the David Disiere collection.
Beware of this 1968 Dodge Coronet R/T. For within its sleek, new-for-68 “coke bottle” body style lurks the pavement-searing, 375 horsepower 440 cubic inch Magnum engine. From the David Disiere collection.
A classic American hot rod based on the 1940 Ford coupe. The recipe: retain the classic lines of the car, delete the extraneous, drop in a smoking big-block V8, add a glitzy paint job, and it’s ready to go. From the David Disiere collection.
This 1956 Chevrolet Corvette features a design slightly updated from the inaugural ’55 model. It was also the first Corvette available with a V8 engine (what took them so long?). From the David Disiere collection.
Auburn Speedsters like this were produced in 1935 and 1936. This sleek beauty was designed by Gordon Buehrig, who also did stellar design work for Cord and Duesenberg. From the David Disiere collection.
This heavily-modified, “TransAm-style” racing car is based on the 1967 Chevrolet Camaro platform and is powered by Chevy’s wonderfully flexible 302 cubic inch V8. From the David Disiere collection.
The Pontiac “Judge” was a pop-culture-based variant of Pontiac’s GTO muscle car. It was named after a character on the popular Laugh In TV show. From the David Disiere collection.
The Chevrolet Chevelle SS, like this '68 model, provided stout performance at a relatively economical price. It could take a bite out of the competition on the street—without taking a huge bite out of the owner’s wallet. From the David Disiere collection.
