The story of the legendary 409. When Chevy squeezed one horsepower per cubic inch out of this engine in 1962, it sent everyone in Detroit back into the engine lab, and practically everyone else in America to the Chevy dealer!
Chevrolet's SS designation originally adorned the high-performance Impalas, but the most popular Super Sport was by far the Chevelle. All it took was the 396 "rat motor" to turn this little grocery-getter into a pavement-pounder!
Plymouth's little compact Valiant, with new skin and a huge rear window, became a hot item - once the 383s, 440s and 426 Hemi engines found their way under the hood. Its cousin from Dodge, the Challenger, was an upscale hot rod with as much luxury as performance.
The 1964 GTO is the one that started the whole Detroit Musclecar craze - but it almost never happened. GM's corporate policy wouldn't allow such a lightweight car with such a huge engine, but Pontiac "finessed" the rules by making the GTO an option to the Tempest Le Mans. The cost of this option? Oh, about two hundred bucks.
