2026 "Muscle Car Mania" Battle for the "King of Muscle Cars" at the Granite State Season Opener at Deerfield Fairgrounds
Two Competitions - One Awesome Exhibit
Ladies and gentlemen… start your engines.
This year we’re unleashing the showdown everyone has been waiting for:
FORD vs. GM vs. MOPAR
Inside both barns, the gloves are coming off for a full-blown Muscle Car Shootout. Roughly 12 elite machines from each manufacturer will enter the arena, each one fighting to claim their brand’s Manufacturer’s Trophy.
But the battle doesn’t end there.
Once the smoke clears and the champions rise, the three winners will collide in one final clash of horsepower & steel.
Ford. GM. Mopar. One last fight. Only one will stand above them all.
Only one will claim the crown.
The victor will be crowned “King of Muscle Cars”, draped in the King’s robe, and hoist the trophy as the undisputed ruler of the barn.
So here’s the challenge: Is YOUR machine worthy of the throne?
If you think your ride has what it takes, fill out the form below and throw your hat in the ring.
We’ll take a look… and decide if your car is ready to enter the arena.
What type of vehicles can be entered?
Now we're not here to debate "what a muscle car is," but for this exhibit, we are looking for American GM, Ford, and MOPAR vehicles built by the manufacturer between 1962-1973 with 2 doors, rear wheel drive, v8 engine, and street legal. Using the form below, you can submit your vehicle that falls within this description.
A maximum of 36 cars will be chosen for the exhibit (ideally 12 from each manufacturer) and are chosen based on what we feel are the top entries. Manufacturers will be grouped together. We are NOT selecting vehicles based on "factory original" or "concours correct," but entries can be. We are leaving the category intentionally broad for a nice mix of different American Muscle styles.
