10. 1968 Corvette 427
If you are a fan of t-tops, then this is your Corvette. The ’68 model was completely redesigned and featured removable roof panels and a rear window, as well as the option of being purchased as a coupe or convertible depending on your taste. As for the rest of the vehicle, it was pretty much the same. This one features a small block V-8 with a three speed manual transmission that generates a solid 300 hp. Contributing to the easy ride is a fully independent suspension and of course it’s four wheel disc brakes that provide smooth, quick stops. But wait, you want more speed? No problem. Upgrade to the 427 V8 big block, with the L36 model. That engine generated a smooth 390 hp and featured a 4 Barrel, Rochester carburetor. Want more? Then go for the L68. 400 horses under the hood and a triple Holly two-barrel carb set you up for the most power you could get from this particular model. Okay, so I lied about that. There were several other engine models and you can actually top out with 430 hp generated from an L88 engine featuring a four barrel high-capacity carb system. Choose any of these options and you have a vehicle that is firmly cemented on the fastest American muscle cars list. Just make sure that you invite us along for the ride when you get one.
