  3. Chevrolet Camaro The Chevrolet Camaro was General Motors' answer to the popular Ford Mustang. It was introduced as a sporty two-door coupe. The first generation Camaros emphasized power and performance packaging with its massive 396-cubic-inch V-8 Super Sport package and the even larger Chevrolet dealer-installed 427-ci V-8 (in limited edition high-performance models).

  4. 1966 Pontiac GTO Coupe The 66 GTO saw many different features including… Grill placed parking lamps GTO nameplates, standard single centered hood scoop V-shaped front wheel opening badges and a special 389 cubic inch four barrel V-8 Dual Exhaust and high performance shock absorbers and front stabilizer bars.

  6. Chevrolet Chevelle SS The SS version of the chevelle had a 396 V8 lurking under the hood. It had a new style bumper, roof line, and dual scoops to give it more aggressive look. By the end of the 60’s the regular 396 was increased to a 402 and a limited amount of 427’s were available.

  7. 1968 AMC Rebel "Machine" convertible • The Rebel name was introduced by AMC in 1957 as a special model with a big V8 engine: the Rambler Rebel, the first factory-produced lightweight muscle car, and the first hint that muscle cars would be part of the company's future. The Rebel name reappeared in 1966 on the top-of-the-line version of the Rambler Classic two-door hardtop. It featured bucket seats, special trim, and a revised roofline. For 1967, AMC's entire intermediate line took the Rebel name.

  8. 68 Ford Torino High performance version of the Torino had a 42, 7L, “cobra jet” engine. It was a sub series of the Fairline… the body styles were 2 door hard top 2 door Fast back 2 door convertible 4 door sedan 4 door station wagon They all had a V8 engine except for one option of a six cylinder 250 cu in.

  10. 1966 Buick Skylark Gran Sport The success of the 1964 Pontiac GTO encouraged Buick to produce a muscle car of their own. General Motors placed a corporate maximum of 400 cubic inches in their intermediates, but Buick just shoehorned their existing 401 cubic inch full size car engine into their Skylark to create the Buick Skylark Gran Sport. Called the Wildcat 445, this Buick engine dated back to the 1950s and was known as the "nail head engine" due to the size of its valves. All Skylark Gran Sports, hardtop, pillared coupe, and convertible, received the convertible's beefed up frame and a special suspension. The model was an instant success and almost 16,000 were sold in 1965.

  11. 1960 Chevrolet Corvette The Chevrolet Corvette is a two-seater sports car by the Chevrolet division of General Motors. The first model was designed by Harley Earl and introduced in 1953.

Originally built in Flint, Michigan and St. Louis, Missouri, it is currently built at a GM assembly plant in Bowling Green, Kentucky.
