1 of 3,761: 1988 Chevrolet Camaro Convertible

440/4-Speed: 1965 Plymouth Belvedere II
Some cars are positively yawn-inducing, while others can leave you breathless. This 1965 Plymouth Belvedere II fits into the second category courtesy of its presentation and drivetrain combination. The company didn’t offer the 440ci V8 in 1965, but that… more»
Sporty Gas Miser: 1986 Ford Escort GT
