Orange 427 C3 yesterday in Detroit

Damn, that '66 GTO is gorgeous. I mean...the '66 is probably my least favorite of the proper GTOs ('64-'72), with the '67 only barely edging it out by virtue of its taillights...but they're still GTOs.

A few ZL1s I saw in Detroit including a Callaway ZL1

Don’t know the full setup but this has Viper brake calipers.

Hnnnngg...

I'm such a boisterous and brazen Buick guy when it comes to muscle cars, but I love a Spoiler of any year and the second generation cars may have the sexiest interior of the genre.

C4 to C5 prototype Corvette

 

[Neddo]

I once searched for C5 proto, this wasn't found tnx.



I really think that muscle cars need to be futuristic again. Relying on nostalgia isn't always the solution

Dr Helmut Marko, long before his involvement with the Red Bull young driver program, slides the former Penske Racing Camaro at Aspern, Austria, in 1969.

 

[TexRex]

Not sure why a '70s Olds would have Magnum 500s instead of Super Stocks, but it's a sexy thing regardless. Low volume as well, with the SX package including that hot 455.

4-4-2. Cactus. Motor Wheel Spyders.

Hnnnngg...

Nailhead!

Rated 325hp and 445 lb-ft of torque from 401 cubic inches. Pity this one's hooked to a 2-speed slushbox and not the 3- or 4-speed stick.

Beautiful Z28 in Detroit today.

 

[TexRex]

I'm digging those Polara/Monaco hubcaps so much, and they're purportedly original to the car as it left the factory.

Saw a F150 Lightning Tribute yesterday how many were made?

Saw a F150 Lightning Tribute yesterday how many were made?

"Made" is likely something of a misnomer here, since Ford hasn't had any official offerings with the Lightning nameplate since...2003? Best case is a limited dealer run, but that's going to be a gamble, so the most likely is a package of aftermarket components that a dealership has offered at a premium with the advantage of it being a turnkey deal and maybe even a warranty that wouldn't be available but for certain components if you did it yourself. Either way, coming up with a number would necessitate knowing what dealership was responsible.
