March Musclecar Madness: The Final Four

The Elite 8 has given way to the Final Four. One by One cars were eliminated and knocked out of the tournament, leaving only four of the fastest musclecars. Only one of these high octane, hot rod machines will be declared the March Musclecar Madness Champion. It’s interesting to note that the engine displacement of all four cars are within three cubic inches of each other: 426, 427, 428 and 429, making this Final Four a close match up.

Final Four

1969 Boss 429 Mustang vs 1969 Yenko 427 Nova

The 1969 Boss 429 was last years runner up and it hopes to drive home with the title this year. The 429 is the fiercest of all Blue Oval motors which many experts believe produces over 500 horsepower. The Yenko Nova may be small, but it’s big enough to take out the defending champ; the Shelby Cobra and the massive Chevelle SS 454. Will its 427 motor, capable of performing 0-60 in four seconds, be enough to take out the Boss 429 in this classic Bowtie vs Blue Oval match up?

1967 KR8 Tasca Mustang vs 1970 Plymouth HEMI Cuda

The 1967 KR8 Tasca Mustang dominated the Bangshift region thanks to its status of being one of the coolest custom Mustangs of all time. Built for drag racing by car dealership owner Bob Tasca, the KR8 inspired Ford to build a performance version of 428 known as the Cobra Jet. The Tasca Mustang will be going wheel to wheel against Mopar’s king of the road; the 1970 Plymouth HEMI Cuda. This HEMI is the baddest of all of it dominates the streets today like it did back in the 1970s.
