Rounds 2 Results:<\/b><\/p>\n

Match-up #1<\/span><\/p>\n

1969 Dodge Charger: <\/span>918<\/b> votes<\/span><\/p>\n

1969 Boss Mustang: 551 votes<\/span><\/p>\n

The Boss Mustang had one of the most dominant wins of Round 1, but it could not keep up with the 1969 Dodge Charger\u2019s firepower in this Sweet 16 match-up. The \u201869 Charger is one of America’s most popular muscle cars, but it will still be considered an underdog against the iconic 1963 Split Window Corvette in Round 3.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Match-up #2<\/span><\/p>\n

1963 Split Window Corvette: <\/span>817<\/b> votes\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

1967 Pontiac GTO: 649 votes<\/span><\/p>\n

Our users edged out the Split Window Corvette ahead of the \u201867 Pontiac GTO in this match-up. Pontiac’s only old school contender has been eliminated. Look for a tighter match-up for the Corvette against the dark horse 1969 Charger in the Elite Eight.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Match-up #3<\/span><\/p>\n

1970 Chevy Nova: 636 votes<\/span><\/p>\n

1970 Chevelle: <\/span>1,024<\/b> votes<\/span><\/p>\n

One of the more intriguing Sweet 16 match-ups was the 1970 Chevelle versus the 1970 Nova. Both same year Chevy models, which had to make it tough for GM die-hards. Surprisingly the Chevelle almost doubled the Nova in votes, ending the popular classic\u2019s run.<\/span><\/p>\n

Match-up #4<\/span><\/p>\n

1969 Oldsmobile 442: <\/span>1,201 <\/b>votes<\/span><\/p>\n

2006 Pontiac GTO: 377 votes<\/span><\/p>\n

Continuing the popular trend of this bracket, the old school 442 dominated the more modern \u201806 GTO. Both cars had options around 400HP coming out of the factory, but that wasn\u2019t enough for the Pontiac to put up a fight. The Olds 442 has a tough match-up against the Chevelle in Round 3.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Match-up #5<\/span><\/p>\n

2012 Cadillac CTS-V Wagon: <\/span>858<\/b> votes<\/span><\/p>\n

1978 Dodge Little Red Express Truck: 688 votes<\/span><\/p>\n

The two biggest under-dogs of the bracket left in a head to head bout here.\u00a0 The fight ultimately ended in the CTS-V Wagon being victorious, but the Caddy is in for it\u2019s toughest match-up yet against the Shelby Cobra in Round 3.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Match-up #6<\/span><\/p>\n

1957 Chevrolet Bel Air: 693 votes<\/span><\/p>\n

1965 Shelby Cobra:<\/span> 928<\/b> votes<\/span><\/p>\n

The legendary 1965 Shelby Cobra\u2019s run continues as it edges out Chevy\u2019s widely popular 1957 Chevy Bel Air to advance into the Elite Eight. The Cadillac CTS-V needs a miracle to beat the Cobra in Round 3, watch for the Shelby to coast into the Final Four.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Match-up #7<\/span><\/p>\n

1932 Ford Coupe: <\/span>1,105 <\/b>votes<\/span><\/p>\n

1978 Ford Bronco: 553 votes<\/span><\/p>\n

Hot-rodders would not be topped by our offroad gearheads in this Ford head to head match-up. The \u201832 dominated across all voting platforms to set up another fight against an offroad contender; the 1987 Chevrolet K-10.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Match-up #8<\/span><\/p>\n

1987 Chevrolet K10: <\/span>1,073<\/b> votes<\/span><\/p>\n

1972 Ford Gran Torino Sport: 899 votes<\/span><\/p>\n

Our closest match-up of the Sweet 16, the Chevy K-10 barely beats the Ford Gran Torino Sport by under 200 votes. Offroad enthusiasts have a tough match-up ahead, as it takes on the 1932 Ford Coupe in Round 3.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
