All our cars are V8's. They aren't perfect, but they are muscle cars that will take you to the promised land.

What is the route?
Starting and finishing in Jalisco, the Mexican state famous for Mariachi music and Tequila.
We will spend our first two nights in Guadalajara the capital of Jalisco, where you will get to know your muscle car as well as customise it up with the Rust 2 Mexico sticker pack. On the second night a dinner will be held in your honour with local friends of Rust 2 Mexico at a very traditional Mexican restaurant!
The rally begins on day three when we head to the breathtaking traditional town of Guanajuato! From there we will visit the town of Tequila, where we have a specially arranged guided tour of the amazing Tequila distillery. The route then heads over to Pacific coast with planned stops at some of the most glorious beaches in Mexico. While the rally visits popular places like Puerto Vallarta, other stops are only known about through local knowledge and word of mouth, they won’t be on any tour operators guides. This is one of the most unique parts of the Rust 2 Mexico experience!
The empty beach… Honestly, we don't think any Mexicans know about this amazing piece of paradise and we are thrilled to be taking you there to enjoy a moment that will surely be remembered forever. You can wake up in your room, step outside and there it is. Beautiful clear sky, early morning sunrise and a beautiful deserted beach just for you!

Choose Your Car
1965 Ford Galaxie
This is by far the biggest car of the fleet and it's also the loudest with its 351 Windsor V8 engine. It's a comfortable cruiser with the automatic gearbox but does pull quite nice with the four barrel carb, but you can tell it's a heavy car. The interior is stunning with all it's chrome and comfortable with the individual front seats and centre console. It's also a 2 door pillarless which looks amazing with all the windows rolled down. This car is a sight to see on the road.
1968 Buick Skylark
The Buick is the most comfortable car of the fleet and it's also the quietest. It still has a deep rumble from it's 350 (5.7) V8 and automatic gearbox. It's got plenty of power too and with it's 2 barrel carb it's the best on fuel of all the cars in the fleet. The interior has an extremely comfortable bench seat and the vertical speedo is right out of a 60s chase movie!
1969 Chevrolet El Camino
Up there as one of the most comfortable cars of the Rust 2 Mexico fleet, the El Camino is also one of best sounding with it's twin Flowmasters exhaust and 350 V8. It goes very well too with a 4 barrel carb and automatic gearbox. The bench seat is very fitting for the style of car and there's plenty space in the back for all your luggage under the vinyl cover!
1970 Dodge Dart
The Dodge Dart is the most agile of the fleet. It's got a 360 (5.8) V8 with a 4 barrel carb and automatic gearbox. It's bench seat is comfortable and both front and rear windows can be rolled down for that clean pillarless coupe look! It also has a very aggressive exhaust note!
1977 Dodge Superbee
The bright orange Superbee is a favourite in the fleet, it's fast, handles great and has quite sporty individual seats! It's got a 360 (5.8) V8 with a 4 barrel carb and automatic gearbox. It' goes exceptionally well and also has brilliant brakes for a 70s muscle car! Nobody will miss you in this bright orange Superbee!
1979 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28
This is a genuine Z/28 Camaro as seen in countless movies, this is an 80's icon! It's got the legendary Chevy 350 (5.7) V8 and 4 barrel carb paired with an automatic gearbox. It's front an rear anti roll bars from the factory and short ratio steering box mean this Camaro handles amazingly. It's got a very aggressive exhaust note, which suits the car and it's factory gearing means it spins the wheels off the mark and darts up to 60mph very quickly!
