Here’s a ’64 Rambler Typhoon that was at the 2013 Daytona Turkey Rod Run. The Rambler Classic is a compact car that was made between 1961 and 1966. This is from the second generation, which was made between 1963 and 1964. The engine is a 3.8 liter straight-6 that produces 145 horsepower and 215 pound-feet of torque. The transmission is a 3-speed automatic. This car does 0-60 mph in 11.8 seconds and has a top speed of 102 mph.

That’s a ’95 Freightliner Classic that was at the 2013 Barrett-Jackson Auction in Palm Beach. The Freightliner Classic is a series of Semis that were made between 1990 and 2010. The engine is a 12.7 liter straight-6 that produces 500 horsepower. This one was modified to have a General Electric J79 afterburning turbojet (the same engine that powers the Lockheed F-104 Starfighter) that produces 10,000 pounds of dry thrust (15,600 with the afterburner). The transmission of this one is an automatic, but I couldn’t find out how many gears it has. This semi can reach 225 mph in 7 seconds with the J79.
