![]() The Catfish Camaro was perhaps the largest departure at least from a design standpoint than all of its predecessors, and this was in a bid to tackle the low sales after the takeover of the declining sports car. Launched back in the 90s, the fourth-gen Chevrolet Camaro, fondly called the catfish Camaro, is yet another example of the punk era and bold designs making it to the mainstream. ![]() Image of a Turquoise 1996 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 SS With all that rich history associated with the SVT badge and some genuinely impressive performance, the Mustang SVT Cobra can cost significantly more than other used Mustangs with prices starting at around $20,000 while low-mileage, pristine examples can fetch well over $80,000. ![]() Although not as exclusive as the R model, the SVT Cobra is the sportiest and most powerful version of the Fox-body Mustang courtesy of its bespoke 230-horsepower V-8 engine which means it can hit 60 mph from a standing start in 5.9 seconds. Introduced just as the third-generation Mustang was going out of production, the first SVT Cobra was sold for just a year. So, in 1993, Ford introduced the world to the 1993 Mustang SVT Cobra which was the first model to flaunt the SVT badge. The early 90s was the time when Ford formed a team of rag-tag engineers and with it, the Special Vehicles Team (SVT). That said the third-generation - commonly known as the fox-body - Ford Mustang, despite its looks, was a great car built on good fundamentals. The Fox-body Mustang is a controversial thing and people across the world have polarizing opinions. However, if you don't want the power and the exclusivity, and you just want to enjoy a good old-fashioned with the less powerful 5.2-liter V-8 and get away with spending around $6,000 to $9,000.įront three-quarter shot of a 1993 Ford SVT Mustang Cobra Since the Sport 360 is among the rarest and most expensive Darts from the era, and as a result, they are somewhat sought after in the market with prices starting at around $20,000 in the used market. The Dart Sport 360 added a new lease of life to the lineup in 1974 and the most powerful version was powered by a 5.9-liter V-8 engine rated at 245 horsepower and was sold until the end of 1976 when Dodge decided to move it up a notch by turning it into an option for the Sport V8. The fourth-generation model joined the muscle car wars with exciting engine options, but the Dart also fell victim to the 1973 oil crisis and subsequent models were all equipped with lackluster engines. The Dart started life as a full-size automobile in 1960, but it was relegated to a compact in 1963 and remained small until it was discontinued in 1976. ![]() And amidst all the Impalas and Chargers of the day, there lived a humble and affordable family sedan called the Dodge Dart Sport. The 70s was the era of excess and cars were at the forefront of this design revolution with cutting-edge shapes and massive engines defining the cars of the day. Well-maintained examples with less than 100K miles on the odometer are rare to come by, but if you do come across one, expect to pay at least $15,000 to $20,000.įront three-quarters shot of a red 1975 Dodge Dart Sport Luckily GM sold a ton of Camaros at the time and the IROC-Z was one of the most popular models, which is why if you go looking for one today, you can easily get your hands on one for under $10,000, but for that expect a high mileage car with some cuts and bruises. The good-ol' fashioned 5.7-liter push-rod V-8 makes 245 horsepower and 345 pound-feet of torque which might not seem all that much by modern Camaro standards, but it was a performance bargain at the time. This package was soon available as standard on the Z28 models in 1988, and in 1990, it was discontinued. Launched back in 1985 as part of the third-generation model, the IROC was named after the International Race of Champions and was offered as an option package to the Z28. Muscle cars don't get much more American than a Camaro, but out of all the Camaros, some go unloved and underappreciated and that's exactly the case with the Camaro IROC-Z.
