Back then car companies were locked in battle to produce the fastest V8 street cars on the planet and their first course of action was more power.
Big block motors reigned supreme and the company's engineers were shoe horning bigger and bigger engines into smaller and lighter cars in an effort to beat their rivals.

After the super car scare and the resulting legislation in the early 70's, car manufacturers were forced to reduce power output in the name of safety.
Many of the big names in desirable fast cars quickly became far less potent than their older siblings.
The peak period for American V8's with brutal power output came in the very late 60's to very early 70's.


Today these cars are more than just collectible, they are iconic of an era long gone and still have the ability to dust almost any car on the street !
