Muscle Car Tapestries
Description: The 1969 Hurst/Olds is proof that even the most conservative manufacturers could go wild in the muscle car era. As high-performance raced into the late '60s, the idea of a mad scientist conjuring up ever-more-potent 442s seemed almost reasonable, and Olds advertising was rife with the image of Dr. Oldsmobile with his lab coat and mustache. The Hurst/Olds model was no longer a low-key affair as bold "Firefrost Gold" striping now accented its white paint. On the hood was a flamboyant dual-snout scoop more efficient at feeding the engine than the under-bumper Force-Air inlets on other 4-4-2s. And the decklid held an enormous airfoil that furnished 64 pounds of downforce at 120 mph. This design is based on swinging '60s style promotional art.

Description: The Ford FE engine is a V8 used in vehicles sold in the North American market between 1958 and 1976. The FE was introduced to replace the short-lived Ford Y-block engine, which American cars and trucks were outgrowing. It was designed with room to be significantly expanded, and manufactured both as a top-oiler and side-oiler, and in displacements between 332 cu in and 428 cu in.The Ford single overhead cam (SOHC) 427 V8 engine, familiarly known as the "Cammer," was released in 1964 in an effort to maintain stock car racing dominance by seeking to counter the enormously large block 426 Hemi "elephant" engines. The FE 427 block was closer dimensionally to the smaller 392 cu. in. first generation FirePower Hemi.
Description: Released in 1970, the Maverick was a compact car originally sold as a two-door coupe, intended to provide stylish looks and prolonged practicality along with comfortable, enjoyable driving. The model's objective was to compete against overseas rivals, and was widely marketed as an ‘import killer,’ which apparently worked, as 579,000 units sold in the first year alone. Engines initially included a couple of efficient 6-cyclinder options, coupled with either automatic or manual transmissions. Of course, it didn't take long for hot rodders to see the compact platform as the perfect lightweight chassis, and countless Mavericks were stuffed with powerful V8 engines that turned the economy car into a street racer to be reckoned with.
Description: With the Ranchero selling well, the El Camino returned on the proven Chevelle platform in 1964 after a hiatus of several years. The second-generation variant leaned more toward practicality, but also had the option of packing a 327 cubic inch small-block V8 rated up to 300 hp in 1964. In 1965, a performance version of the V8 was available that pushed it up to 350 hp. This trend of growing engines continued over the next few years, culminating in a 396 V8 big block rated up to 375 hp.

Description: The Mercury Comet Cyclone is an automobile that was introduced in 1964 as a replacement for the S-22 as the high-performance version of the Comet line and was in production through 1971. The 1968 models dropped "Comet" from their name, though many continued to refer to the model as the 'Comet' or 'Comet Cyclone.' The Cyclone GT's had an upper level body stripe, bucket seats, wide whitewall tires, special wheel covers, an all vinyl interior, and a special handling package. The GT's 390ci made 325hp, though a 428ci option was made available mid-year that made 335hp. The 1968 Cyclone was set a speed record of 189.22 mph at Daytona, making it the fasted production car of the year.
Description: The Bowtie 327-cubic inch V8 originated with the small-block family of engines that first appeared in 1955 with a 265 cubic inch power plant. Following with a 283 cubic inch version that appeared in 1957, the mighty 327-inch small block made its debut in 1962. Although the 327 was eventually superseded by the 350 across the entire product line, the intermediate displacement 327 was used in just about every model on the market between 1962 and 1969. During its eight-year run, the potent 327 became known among small-block aficionados as the “mighty mouse" as it was extremely compact, highly efficient, and very powerful.
