Muscle Car Syndicate

When was the last time you saw an AMC Marlin?

I like the wheels. They give it just enough attitude.

I saw this Marlin at the 2026 Goodguys Heartland Nationals.

You have to name your next kid after a car part. What would you name them?

Have you ever heard of a Buick Riviera GS455 Stage 1? This 1973 boat tail is pretty cool! It's the only known example to wear Cadillac's Viridian Green Firemist which cost the original owner an extra $80.

Speaking of the original owner. They retained this car until May of this year. The car is a survivor wearing it's born with paint, interior and drivetrain.

It's not your 1970 Stage 1 455. This one produces around 260 Net horsepower and 380 lb-ft of torque.

I saw this at the 2026 Goodguys Heartland Nationals in Des Moines Iowa.

I've been told, due to rising costs, that Ford Mustangs will no longer be offered at a dime a dozen.

The Goodguys Heartland Nationals Muscle Car of the Year finalist is this outstanding 1969 Oldsmobile 442 W-30 convertible out of Winterset Iowa. One of only 91 four speed W-30 convertibles known to have been produced in 1969.

The Platinum Silver W Machine has the 360 horsepower 400 under the black striped hood. It wouldn't be a W-30 without large ducts that run from the air cleaner to scoops mounted below the bumper to help get fresh air. The engine is mated to a close ratio four speed which transfers power to a 3.91 limited slip rear. Super Stock I wheels and Firestone Wide Oval white letter tires look great on the convertible.

Inside you find black bucket seat interior with Rocket Rallye Pac gauges, AM/FM radio, Custom Sport steering wheel and the console shifted four speed.

An amazing restoration on an equally amazing Oldsmobile! Will it get the call to Arizona? We'll have to wait to find out.

One of my favorite pics I took from the 2026 Goodguys Heartland Nationals in Des Moines Iowa was of this 1970 Chevelle L78 SS396.

Shane Vigil does it again! Beautiful 1968 Pontiac Firebird with a Karl's Kustoms customer requested custom painted bird.

Burnished silver leaf with orange candy sprayed over it makes up the feathers of the bird. This Firebird glows out in the sun!
