You know you dig it. For nearly three years we've been hearing from fortysomethings about secret cravings for blowers, tunnel-rams, raised-white letters, Cragars, and even (gasp!) graphics. It's the predictable, "back when I was in high school" scenario. But then the rebel twentysomethings started to catch on to it, spellbound by the concept of wheels as small in diameter as, say, 15s and awestruck by the power-hungry carbon footprint of dual quads atop an 8-71. So call us harbingers of ghastly retrogaudiness, but we'll go ahead and say it: '70s and '80s street machine style is back.inline_mediumwraptextrightThis is the one photo of the bunch that we hijacked from Car Craft, since that mag really had its finger on the pulse in the street machine heyday. We love all three of these cars from the '78 Car Craft Street Machine Nationals, and the engine in the foreground is the inspiration for our Crusher Camaro makeover. Also note the cable-drive Moroso tach. The red car sports the then-hip, now-unthinkable velour interior. The graphics on the Challenger are great and almost justify the hood-mounted gauges.26729908/thehistoryof/hrdp_0912_70s_80s_musclecarshrdp_0912_03+70s_and_80s_musclecars.jpgTrue
On September 16, 1947, Great Britain's John Cobb established a 394.196-mph land speed record at the Bonneville Salt Flats in his Railton Mobil Special. He overshadowed that achievement the very same day with an astounding 403.135-mph one-way blast that marked the first-ever penetration of the 400-mph mark by a wheel-driven vehicle.inline_mediumwraptextright25705340/thehistoryof/hrdp_0503_burkland_family_race_teamhrdp_0503_01+burkland_family_land_speed_racing_team+.jpgTrue
