1970 was a watershed year in the history of American muscle. Most would agree that the muscle era hit its apex in 1970. Vying for the top of the pops was Chevrolet's Chevelle SS 454. The SS 454 carried Chevy's intermediate performance banner. The Super Sport package, Chevelle's highest performance option, was available in the hardtop Sport Coupe ($3,497) and convertible. ($3,697) The big block LS5 454-cubic-inch V8 produced 360hp in standard form. The LS6 produced a claimed 450 gross HP in solid-lifter, high-compression guise and cost a mere $263.30. 4,574 LS5s were produced in 1970. Of those, 91 were convertibles.

UK man demolishes F430 Scuderia less than an hour after he bought it

Ever purchase something, say a nice shiny pencil, and then go on to lose it later that day? Agh, that’s the worst. Ever drop $288,000 on a Ferrari F430 Scuderia and then go demolish it less than an hour later? Cops had this to say ... "the vehicle had left the carriageway and burst in to flames. Road conditions were wet at the time and as officers arrived on scene it became clear there was a vehicle well alight and colleagues from South Yorkshire Fire & Rescue were in attendance squirting water all over some kind of sporty model".

This charred and twisted blob of hi-teck is all that’s left of the lightweight exotic after it flew off the road in wet conditions and went airborne on the M1 in South Yorkshire. After its unscheduled flight, the F430 careered down a bank for 50 metres before finally coming to a halt in a field. It proceeded to burst into flames. The unnamed driver escaped with only minor cuts and bruises. One assumes next time he'll learn how to drive.

1954 Ferrari 375-Plus

The Ferrari 375 Plus was a racing car produced by Ferrari in 1954. The model competed internationally, winning many major races. The Ferrari 375 Plus received the new Lampredi V12 engine with displacement enlarged to almost 5-litres. 8 were produced in total.

A dispute over the ownership of a 1954 Ferrari that Victoria’s Secret founder Les Wexner bought for 10.7 million pounds (close to $20 million) was settled before a U.K. trial was scheduled to start. Wexner, who bought the Ferrari at a Bonhams auction in 2014 through Copley Motorcars, joined up with the car dealer to sue the auction house for putting the vehicle up for sale while there were several lawsuits in the U.K. and U.S. over its ownership.

The claims over ownership laid bare the car’s peculiar history; the battered, burnt-out chassis was stolen from the Ohio backyard of an eccentric ex-U.S. army engineer, eventually finding its way into the hands of one of the world’s most renowned Ferrari dealers in Belgium.

5 1954 Ferrari 375-Plus survive. It boasted a 4.9-liter V-12 which produced 330hp. The Ferrari was capable of doing 0-60mph in just four seconds and 60 years ago could hit a top speed of 186mph.

1962 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Sprint Zagato - Barn Find

A 1962 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Sprint Zagato sat in a basement in Turin for 35 years. Its mechanic owner never got around to fixing the broken lift that trapped the car in its subterranean home. Nor did he write a will. So, following his passing, the car was rediscovered right where he left it ... stranded in the basement. This example is an early 1962 car. The SZ, or Sprint Zagato, was the pinnacle of performance for Alfa's humble Giulietta. These cars were campaigned by private racers for several motorsport events, including the 24 Hours of Le Mans. One of 200 examples, it reportedly went to government auction, where it sold for almost $650,000

1962 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Sprint Zagato

The Alfa Romeo Giulietta SZ (for Sprint Zagato) was an aluminium-bodied 2-seater berlinetta, built by Zagato for competition use on the chassis of the Sprint Speciale. A crashed Sprint Veloce was rebodied by Zagato in late 1956, and was immediately successful in competition. The SVZ was about 120 kg (260 lb) lighter than the Coupé on which it was based, and had the 116 hp version of the Giulietta engine.

217 were built, the original design with a rounded rear and with the last thirty receiving a longer kamm-style rear end as well as disc brakes up front. The original design is called the "Coda Tonda" (round tail), while the Kamm-design is referred to as the "Coda Tronca" (truncated tail).

The first examples were built in December 1959, and production continued into 1962. The SZ was very successful in racing.

The car used a 1290cc twin-ohc engine with a five-speed gearbox tuned for competition. That may not seem like much, but the car was lightweight, tipping the scales at 854kg (1883 lbs). Intensely collected and rare, these cars are considered among the most beautiful Alfa Romeos ever made.

The Giulietta was produced primarily in "Sprint" two-door coupe, "Berlina" four-door sedan, and "Spider" two-door convertible. The Sprint arrived first with Bertone styling in 1954, with the Berlina and Pinin Farina (then two words) Spider arriving months apart in 1955. Each Giulietta featured monocoque construction, drum brakes all around, independent control-arm front suspension, and a solid-axle rear end.

2019 Lamborghini Aventador SVJ

The Aventador SVJ is Lambo supercar concentrate. That's its appeal, naturally. The Aventador SVJ is the brand’s flagship, replacing the SV as the fastest, most powerful supercar from the company that invented the genre. Engine is a 6.5-litre V-12 through a 7-speed automatic. Production is limited to 900 cars with a base price of US$517,770.

760 horsepower is on tap and with a beefier torque curve the V-12 gets the car from 0-100 km/h in 2.8 seconds and to 200 km/h in 8.6. From Lambo’s Huracan Performante, the SVJ takes the “ALA” aero-vectoring technology. Through corners it stalls the outside half of the rear wing — reducing downforce — while maintaining downforce on the inside half of the wing, effectively dragging the car through turns and reducing understeer.

The Aventador SVJ is the ultimate old-school Italian supercar; flamboyant, frivolous, and manic. No matter where it is, driving fast, slow, or sitting still, it’s never boring.
