Wings Over America; The Mopar Aero Warriors, Presented by The Brothers Collection.

This year we put the spotlight on the wild winged Mopars of 1969 and1970. Certainly, among the most outrageous Muscle Machines ever built, you will see some of the rarest and most desirable examples. Dodge Daytona’s on the right, Plymouth Superbirds on the left with 440-4 barrel, 440-6 barrel and mighty 426 Hemi’s from mild to wild. Presented by The Brothers Collection.

Class of ’72 Invitational, Presented by Garner Customs & Restorations.

While the writing was on the wall, those in the know could still order a true Muscle Machine. Olds offered a W30 455, Buick had the Stage 1 455 and you could still purchase a Cobra Jet Ford or Mercury. The Roadrunner/GTX had a 440 under the hood and you could check that box for the Charger also. And lets not forget, Pontiac also offered the hot 455 H.O. for the GTO, Trans Am or Formula!

The “X-Code” 455 W30’s are strong performers and of course, still featured the cool fresh air induction system with air intake scoops under the front bumper. You will see an entire row of these sought-after rarities.

Class of 1967 Invitational, Presented by NCM Insurance.

.1967 may not be the first year you think of when it comes to American Muscle but think about it; the new Plymouth GTX and Dodge Coronet R/T’s were introduced along with the Pontiac Firebird and Chevrolet Camaro. Olds W30’s became readily available while Mercury introduced the Cougar. It would also be the final year for the C2 Corvette, and a variety of 427’s were offered. And that’s just a sampling of what you will see in this very special gathering.

Malaise Era Muscle, 1973-1987 Invitational, Hosted by Brad Schroeder.

While performance may have been dying, there were a few decent performers, and you could always “look” the part! And fortunately, by the late 80’s a resurgence in performance was on the horizon. This display may surprise you, as there were a few actual performance cars that you may have never heard of. Yes, you could still get a big block in the new G.M. Colonnade cars, Dodge introduced the final B-Body Magnum and Ford offered a 302 in the King Cobra, complete with 60’s inspired graphics.

Performance Wagon Invitational

Yes, even station wagons can have a performance twist! This display will feature a variety of Station Wagons that have huge engines under the hood along with high performance features. You’ll see 4-speeds, 8-lugs and multiple carburetors here. Several of these cars are truly “one of one” built.

Corvette Legends Invitational, Presented by Corvette Mike and Corvette Mike-Midwest.

.This year we spotlight the ultra-rare and desirable C2 “Tankers”. First offered in 1963, these Corvette Coupes were developed for racers who needed the extended range a large tank offers.
