1969 Chevy Camaro
The 1969 Chevy Camaro stands as one of the most iconic muscle cars ever produced. Its sharp styling, powerful engine options, and overall performance have cemented its legendary status.
* Distinctive Styling: The 1969 Camaro featured a redesigned body with sharper lines, a new grille, and updated taillights. The overall look was more aggressive and muscular than previous years.
* Performance Variants: Chevrolet offered a wide range of engines, from the base six-cylinder to high-performance V8s. The SS package, in particular, was highly sought after for its powerful engines and performance-oriented features.
* RS Appearance Package: The RS package added cosmetic enhancements like hidden headlights, black-out grille, and special badging, giving the car a sportier look.
* Z/28: This performance-focused model was designed for racing and featured a high-revving small-block V8 engine, along with other performance upgrades.
The 1969 Camaro offered a variety of engines to suit different preferences and budgets:
* Base engines: Inline-6 and small-block V8 options
* Performance-oriented engines: Larger V8s, including the legendary 396 cubic inch and 427 cubic inch big-blocks
The SS package elevated the Camaro to a higher level of performance. It typically included larger V8 engines, performance-tuned suspension, and visual cues to distinguish it from base models..
In the early days of Pro Stock racing, weight and engine size were crucial for success on the track. Bill Jenkins famously optimized performance by using a 331 cubic inch small block Chevy, featuring a small journal 327 crankshaft paired with bearing spacers in a 350 4-bolt main block. He chose 5.85-inch connecting rods—longer than the stock 5.70—while boring the block .030 oversize. This innovative setup allowed Jenkins to shed weight and maximize power in his Vega, leading to an incredible winning streak. His dominance in the sport even earned him the title of the highest-paid athlete of that year. Jenkins’ ingenuity and determination showcased how engineering can redefine racing performance, setting a benchmark for future competitors. His legacy continues to inspire today’s racers as they push the limits of technology and strategy in pursuit of victory.
1961 Chevrolet Impala Bubbletop Station Wagon
The 1961 Impala Bubbletop Wagon is a unique and eye-catching custom vehicle that combines the classic styling of the 1961 Chevrolet Impala with the practicality of a station wagon. This particular model, often referred to as the “Double Bubble,” was created by merging two bubble top Chevy hardtops to form a distinctive and radical custom station wagon.
One of the most famous examples of this custom build appeared at the 2016 Detroit Autorama, where it garnered significant attention and accolades. The car featured extensive modifications, including a custom roof fabricated by hand, a 3-inch chopped top, and a sleek, flush-mounted glass. The interior was equally impressive, with high-quality materials and modern amenities that complemented the car’s classic exterior.

Bill Thomas’s Cheetah: Chevy's Attempt at a Cobra
The Ultimate American Underdog
When we talk about iconic American sports cars of the 1960s, the Shelby Cobra usually steals the spotlight. But there’s another contender that deserves attention—the Cheetah, a car that might just be the most mysterious of them all.
A Vision from Southern California
Designed by Bill Thomas, a self-taught engineer known as "Mr. Corvette," the Cheetah was born out of a desire to take on Carroll Shelby’s Cobra.
With only 11 first-generation Cheetahs ever built, finding one is a true rarity.
Small, But Mighty
The Cheetah was powered by a 327-cubic-inch Chevrolet V8, with a unique design that allowed it to skip the need for a driveshaft.
This car was all about speed, hitting a staggering 215 mph at Daytona, although officially clocked at 185 mph at Elkhart Lake in 1964.
A True Time Capsule
The Cheetah is regarded as one of the most original and complete examples of its kind. With a period-correct 327 V8 and original racing components, it’s a rolling time capsule from the golden age of racing.
A Forgotten Contender
While it never got the chance to go head-to-head with the Cobra in official competitions, the Cheetah still managed to win 11 major races in 1964 alone.
Though low production numbers kept it from broader recognition, the Cheetah remains a true piece of racing history.
