1968 Plymouth HEMI GTX

The GTX was based on the 2 door Belvedere and dubbed as the "Gentleman's Muscle Car." Of the 18,940 GTX models built, there were 450 who paid $564 for the optional HEMI engine. This beautiful GTX is 1 of those 450. Under the hood is a 426cid/415hp HEMI V8 engine with two 4-barrel carburetors. Sold at Barret-Jackson Palm Beach in 2009 for $64,900.

This 1:64 diecast model was done by Greenlight Collectibles for their Auction Block series.

1972 Chevrolet Cheyene C20 Camper

Hard to find 1972 Chevy Cheyenne C20 Custom Camper Longhorn. Longhorn editions were only made for 4 years, they have a wider wheel base at 133" and a 6" longer bed. Still has original 350 CID engine with 4BBL and 3-spd Automatic transmission with 3.73 gears.

I know this is not a muscle car but I cannot resist buying one for my collection and it sits perfectly in my 60's and 70's American Classic collection, who knows I might add a few more of these trucks in the near future. This would definitely look great in an American classic country style diorama.
