Muscle cars that turn you on ....

[TBBishop]

Not sure if it really counts as a muscle car but probably my favorite car of all time. So, a V6 with a turbo, do you guys consider it a muscle car?

A buddy of mine in High School got this car brand new.
1977 Olds 442. Had a 350 engine.
Yeah, I know it wasn't "real" muscle, but it was a great car and looked cool.

My grandaddy had one like this, except I couldn't tell ya if it was a '68-'72. I was young and the body styles look similar. I loved that car, even as a kid.

I love the grand national. That car was a beast when it came out. I read an article somewhere that they had the Chevy people shittin' because they wouldn't release any data while they were building it or something, and it was faster than the 'Vette off the showroom floor.

I think it is for sure.

While it is true that the early 80's Buick Grand National cold beat the same year's Corvette it was a time of pretty crummy Vettes. The C-4 came out in 1984 sporting 205 to 230HP depending on engine option.

Grandma has a new Camry with more balls than that.

My 2007 Corvette:

A buddy of mine recently got his C6 over 1,000 HP - The car was the least expensive part

Relative to the time it was new, absolutely.

Nowadays if you have one prepare yourself to have your lunch money taken by some kid driving a Subaru or an EVO.

I always got a kick out of the guys who would stuff a big V8 in a vega.

Don't understand the obsession some guys have nowadays about the Nova.
I see them go for ungodly amounts of money on BarretJackson/Mecum.

I never ran up against one that I couldn't crush, not one. 307/396 didn't matter.
They were slugs. But I can at least understand why guys back in the 70's had them. They were cheap and looked pretty good.

 

[outofyourmind]

The Monte Carlo was aight I guess.
Not really considered a muscle car but had some engines that would make it get up and run.
Much like the Nova though.
I liked the looks.

Some Muscle Cars that guys owned when I was in High School
1979 Ford Cyclone. had a 429.
Never got to race that guy but liked his car.

There were twin brothers that went to school and their father owned a Texaco garage.
They never raced these cars but they looked good
350 Olds Rallye Cutlass

1969 Z28 with 302

A friend of mine had a neighbor that we went to school with that had this Dodge Charger with a 440

It didn't run all the time, but when it did, it was one bad machine.

Another guy had this 1969 GTO.
Green like this one.
Pretty fast

 

[outofyourmind]

Another guy had this Dodge Dart.
Was suppose to be fast but nobody ever saw it go fast.
Had like a 340 6pak or some damn thing.

1970/Not 1979
typo/big fingers
i bet you guys figured that out though

Lincoln Marks with the 460ci have to be considered muscle. I need a little luxury...

Style, class and more than enough get up and go to make it a muscle car.

A little more traditional ... fastest thing on 4 wheels. Needed a little (lot) TLC

And one from today that blows it away, don't hate me cause its new,

One of my all time favorites
1969 Hurst Olds.
