- 1967 427 Impala - This car boasts a 385 horsepower 427 cubic inch V-8 engine, special domed hood, heavy duty suspension and front stabilizer bar. With only 2,124 produced, this car was an attempt to salvage the concept of a full-sized performance car for Chevrolet.

Since the ZL1 engine was never intended to be placed in a street-performance car, the speed, performance, and rarity of these cars have bolstered them to top of every muscle car enthusiast list.
- 1962 409 Impala - The 409-cid engine gave this classic car much more power than any other car on the road at the time. With handsome detailing, this car has become an iconic muscle car.
- 1962 Super Duty Pontiac - With only 178 of this model produced, this "purpose built race car" was built for speed with its mostly aluminum factory parts.

- 1971 Plymouth Hemi 'Cuda' - Most muscle car enthusiasts hold this as the Holy Grail of muscle cars. With a 426 hemi engine with a shaker hood, this car has performance covered as well as beautiful detail work in its grill, side vents, and rear spoiler.
- 1963 (1/2) Ford Fastback - Mid-year Ford changed production to a fastback roofline for this car to make this car more aerodynamic for for NASCAR racers.
