We Love American Muscle in Frederick, Colorado

1964 Pontiac GTO 

The 60’s was certainly an era to remember, however many can agree that when the Pontiac GTO rolled into the streets as one of America’s first muscle cars, history was made. With a roaring 389 V8 under the hood, the GTO produced 325 horsepower with the option for dual exhaust, a three-speed manual Hurst shifter, upgraded suspension, and a four-barrel carburetor. With this, the GTO could hit 0-60 in 6.6 seconds! 

1968 Dodge Charger R/T

The 1968 Charger R/T was the perfect combination of both appearance and performance. With its hidden headlights and sleek curves the Charger was hitting the streets with a four-barrel Magnum V8 engine, or the optional 426 Hemi- which pumped out 425 horsepower. With this, it’s no surprise that the Dodge was choses as Vin Diesel's famous hot rod in the notorious Fast and Furious films, becoming a star of its own. 

1968 Chevy Nova

Formerly known as the Chevy II, the Nova charged into the muscle car scene as Chevrolet’s underdog. With sales dropping due to the out-shining Chevelle, in 1968 Chevy shortened the name and dropped a V8 into their new sleek design and out came a 295-horsepower beast equipped with standard heavy-duty suspension. Sales doubled, coming out to 200,970 units across the two models offered. 

1984 Chevy Corvette

We all know the Corvette as one of America’s sexiest cars to kiss the road, however the public didn’t share the same feelings in the early 80’s when popularity took a nose dive due to low performance. In 1975 Corvettes chief engineer, Zora Arkus-Duntov, stepped down and in came Dave McLellan- who would go on to save the Corvette in 1984, when he released the fourth generation of what was now a sleek, shining beast. Hitting the track with an overdrive transmission, digital instrument cluster, a wind-tunnel tested shape, composite mono leaf springs, and electronic fuel injection, the Corvette was back better than ever before. 

1989 Pontiac Firebird GTA Turbo Trans Am 

Proving itself as the king of 80’s muscle cars, the 1989 Pace Car edition of the Trans Am GTA smoked competition as it roared through the streets of Detroit. With only 1,555 made, a turbocharged 3.8-liter V-6 allowed the little monsters to hit 0-60 in 4.8 seconds, their recorded time in the Indianapolis 500 race. With only a small Pace Car cloisonne badge sitting on the front fender, the car looked identical to stock- giving street racers an advantage to bet on. 

1983 Chevy Monte Carlo SS

Chevy’s stock car racing hero of the 70’s and 80’s was well known to be the Monte Carlo. Turning heads and stealing hearts throughout the decades, the Monte never looked so good before the SS model came out in 1983. While considered a luxury coupe, the fine-feathered beast offered not only a sporty look but a 175-hp 305ci small-block, body-on-frame design, and rear wheel drive- making it’s performance just as impressive as its class.
