Featured are two AWESOME cars. The first... a 1968 Pontiac Firebird 400 HO. Fantastic power, a great ride, and a great price! It was even highly recommended by Car and Driver back in the day! I've always been a big fan of the Firebird, and I've never been quite sure why they haven't achieved the popularity like that of the Camaro. Any way, I'd love to buy one some day.... it's on the list. Speaking of my wish-list, the Avanti is a newcomer! I didn't know too much about Studebakers, but this 1963 Studebaker Avanti R2 is an absolute monster!... but in an elegant sort of way. They weren't cheap back in 1963, but wow, did they have a lot to offer. I'm starting to see why Studebaker fans love these cars so much. Not only is it supercharged (and WHO ELSE was doing that back then?!?), but it has several safety features that we wouldn't see from any other domestic brand for years! And of course the style is so unique. Those R2 engines are no joke, and are definitely over built. I just can't decide if I'd rather have an Avanti, or a Lark R2. Both of these cars are featured in the Pure Stock Muscle Car Drag Race series.
