From top:-

1966 Ford Fairlane 427 R-Code, a rare and powerful muscle car. Unique Features: Solid lifter camshafts, forged crankshaft, medium-riser aluminum intake manifold. Designed for drag racing and was known for its speed and performance. Only 57 (fifty seven) were made and all were originally Wimbledon White with a black interior. These spectral anomalies were built with minimal frills to maximize power. The R-code Fairlane was a street-legal drag racer. Mechanical details ⬇️

2nd from top:-

1967 Shelby GT500 Super Snake. It was originally a Shelby GT500 Mustang modified with a 427 cubic inch racing engine, and was intended to test Goodyear's Thunderbolt tires. It was capable of reaching speeds of around 170 mph.

427 cubic inch (7.0-liter) V8 engine derived from the Ford GT40 racing program. 550 hp (though some sources suggest over 600 hp) with 550 lb-ft. 0-60 mph: Approximately 4.1 seconds and top speed of 170 mph (274 kph). Kelsey-Hayes front disc brakes. Goodyear Thunderbolt tires.

3rd from top:- 1969 Ford Torino 428 Cobra Jet featuring a powerful 428 cu in (7.0 L) V8 engine rated at 370 hp, but some sources suggest it was also closer to 400 hp with optional Ram Air induction. Complete with competition suspension, oil cooler, staggered rear shocks, power front disc brakes, and heavy-duty springs. 0 - 60 mph in 7.7 seconds and quarter-mile in 15.8 seconds at 90 mph.

1968 Ford Torino GT 428 FE V8 Specs :- https://www.hotcars.com/highest-power-ford-torin-engine/#:~:text=Instead%2C%20Ford%20added%20a%20less,GT%20428%20FE%20V8%20Specs

4th from top:- 1969 Ford Mustang Boss 429. Officially rated at 375 hp, but likely closer to 475 hp or more and 450 lb-ft. of torque out of the 429 cu in (7.0 L) V8 with semi-hemispherical heads which Ford called "crescent". The Boss 429 was designed for NASCAR homologation and engine designed with Nascar Heavier Crank Shaft & Connecting Rods. The Mustang's body however was not wide enough to encompass the massive Boss 429 engine and as a result, Ford hired Kar Kraft out of Brighton, MI to modify existing 428 Cobra Jet and Super Cobra Jet Mach 1 Mustangs to properly fit the new Boss 429 engine.

It features a unique hood scoop, a chin spoiler, and optional rear spoiler and louvers. The interior included a top loader Hurst T-handle shifter. Only 859 units made in 1969 and auction prices have reached $1/2 a mil.

5th and last:- 1970 Ford Torino Super Cobra with a 429 Super Cobra Jet engine. Difference from 1969 Ford Torino 428 Cobra Jet (3rd from top) engine lies in the engine itself and included features; 4-bolt main block & stronger block for better durability, forged pistons & stronger rods for enhanced performance & longevity, a larger, more aggressive mechanical camshaft for improved breathing & power, 780 CFM Carb: A larger 780 cfm Holley carburetor, header-style exhaust manifolds, an external oil cooler for better cooling & reliability & a Ram Air system for increased airflow and power & all these aided output in excess horsepower 425 (unofficially). To improve oomph, Super Cobra Jet often came with the optional Drag Pack, which included a stronger rear axle with higher gear ratios (like 3.91 or 4.30) and only 241 built with these specs.

The F-106 Delta Dart was a lot cooler than the F-104 Starfighter IMO.

Vivid Imaginations' diecast Captain Scarlet range from the early 1990's. These were available either separately or in a set called the "Spectrum Command Team". A nice set of vehicles all told.
