Take A Look Inside Toby Keith’s Classic Car Collection
By NICHOLAS WILSON
Toby Keith had an affinity for classic cars, as evidenced by AXS TV’s “Rock & Roll Road Trip with Sammy Hagar” episode that explored the country singer’s collection.
Mach 1 428 Cobra Jet
One heading-turning piece in Keith’s classic car collection is his 1969 Mach 1 428 Cobra Jet, a famous drag racer known for its straight-away performance.
With a Cobra Jet V8 engine and 735 CFM Holley four-barrel carburetor, the 428 Cobra can pump out 335 hp at 5,600 rpm and a torque of 440 ft-lbs at 3,400 rPM.
Ford GT
While Keith’s 1963 Chevy Impala gifted to him by Hagar was not on showcase during the episode, viewers did get to see his Ford GT.
Sporting the iconic blue with the white stripes, Hagar explained that the Ford GT could hit upwards of 212 miles an hour with its 512 horsepower.
Oldsmobile Cutlass
Another entry in Keith’s collection is his Oldsmobile Cutlass ragtop in cameo white, but it isn’t the 442 performance model.
Under the hood is a V8 engine that pumps out 180 bhp at 3,800 rpm with 350 cubic inch displacement. While not as flashy, the two musicians enjoyed driving it around town.
