Name that muscle - anyone able to help?
Discussion
Hi - anyone good at spotting cars from pictures of parts?
(I am trying to make some t-shirts of some American muscle cars but I would like to know accurately what they are. As a TVR nut I like the old formula of loud V8s but I am afraid to admit that I know little about American muscle apart from the general terms Mustang, Corvette, Charger etc)
Help appreciated. Oh - and I have mucked about with the pictures a bit - just to keep life interesting!
Forgot to say...
Most of the pics were taken at the Brooklands MOPAR event.

Lot's of nice Mopars there - I'll have a stab at it. From the top:
Plymouth Sport Fury 70/71
Plymouth Roadrunner 69/70
Dodge Challenger 72
Dodge Charger 68
Not sure about the under-hood shot - or the old Rod
Chevrolet Corvette 67
Plymouth Satellite 69/70
Roadrunner and Super Bee
Roadrunner
Charger 70/71
Plymouth Sport Fury 70/71
Plymouth Roadrunner 69/70
Dodge Challenger 72
Dodge Charger 68

Thanks for your messages.
This list is coming together well.
I can't remember much about the old rod or the engine bay picture.
They were taken at the Ravenswood classic and custom show in Bromley/Kent.
(It is usually a couple of months before the Bromley motor pageant.)
Thanks for your help.

I'll take a guess that the engine bay shot is either a Firebird or possibly a Camaro though I'm leaning toward the Pontiac
Engine bay does look early 1st or 2nd gen camaro or firebird, cowl vents & bonnet hinges look right but the radiator supports & fan shroud look wrong, engine looks like a small block chevy with hi-rise intake though.I'll throw my hat in and say the lump is a Firebird!

Chevrolet Corvette 63
Plymouth Satellite 69/70
Roadrunner and Super Bee (RR IS A 69, SB IS A 68)
Roadrunner (THIS IS A 70 SUPER BEE I THINK IF THE REAR LIGHT CLUSTER IS ORIGINAL)
Charger 70/71

That's a great help - thanks to everyone who's had a go.
Now that I think about it - I am pretty sure that the engine bay was a firebird (although I wouldn't know what period). MOPAR at Brooklands was on again at the weekend but unfortunately I missed it this time.
I have a friend in NZ who sent over a couple of pics too. Might be a bit more difficult.
(More classics and rods - perhaps not what most of the people on here are in to.)
Any thoughts?

First set of pics:
'70 Fury
'70 road runner or GTX, impossible to tell from that pic

Engine is a G.M. small block in a Camaro or Firebird, 1st generation.
Rod is a Plymouth I think
'63 Vette
'68 Fury
'69 road runner with a '68 Super Bee behind
'68 Super Bee
