Here's a random batch of classic muscle cars I found while searching the web this evening.

Agreed. I'd really love a Cobra track car.

That's what I'm thinking. Coming from Hondas, 300hp is more than enough to move a car, so I'd get right to work bumping up the handling. Terminator independent rear-end swap, and whatever else I can find to stiffen the chassis and make it turn predictably... then comes the supercharger.

Plate is right, but it has a '32 grille shell. Engine is a small block Chevy. Cool car 👍

Err, don't small block chevys have four bolts holding the valve cover on. They also have the middle two exhaust ports close together. Big blocks have eight bolts normally and the exhaust ports are not Siamese.
I guess it could be some fancy aftermarket type heads though?

Saw this in San Francisco last summer. Paul Newman levels of cool with this one...
Completely gutted interior, 4 speed 'box, willwood brakes, side pipes, full nascar-style roll cage, cut fenders with 285+ section tires all around and just a handful of autometer gauges on the sheetmetal dash. Bet this thing is a beast in the canyons...

Now that's what call a random assortment of DIY C4 Corvettes...
And why do I find that "Corvette SUV" appealing? I must be going crazy.

Best looking S10 Blazer I've seen haha.

Heck, now I'm having this wacky idea of a Blazer, a GMC-Typhoon-esque Blazer, that is. One with a C4 ZR1 engine, and the design touches of that S10 Blazer in your post... I'd hoon that baby.

So much win
It's stories like this that make muscle cars legends of being ungodly fast. Big blocks ruled the streets back in the day. Now, anything goes.Indeed, those two cars were the kings of the streets in Detroit back in the 70s. The big block was built by a young Jack Roush, who accompained Rugirello for the street wars most of the time. The car disappered, then popped up again some years ago in E-Bay or something wearing twin turbos and white with blue stripes paint.
Here is Lisk's Challenger:
The car had a modified, tunnel-rammed with Dominators 426 hemi with a Lenco box behind it, and was capable of 9s... in the street. According to Lisk, he beat Rugirello like 3 of 5 times or something. Here is a great article from 1976 Car and Driver about these two squaring off. A long read, but oh so worth it.
