American Performance: Top 20 Early Muscle Cars

  1. 1958 Plymouth Fury

Before the Fury was a separate model, it was an option on the Belvedere. But for 1958, this model benefited from Chrysler’s new Golden Commando engine. The mighty Hemi was gone, but Chrysler didn’t abandon the performance market. The Golden Commando came with a 350-cid displacement and updated equipment, delivering 305 HP.

Plymouth even experimented with a fuel injection setup, but the system proved problematic. The problems caused the factory to compensate car owners, giving them the conventional four-barrel setup. If the fuel injection worked, it would have produced up to 315 HP.
