Favourite Muscle Car?

[hemi_fan]

Post your favorite muscle cars of all time in this thread, heres mine:

My favorite muscle car of all time is the 1970 Plymouth Hemi Superbird. This car was massive, but It had enough power for 5.5 0-60 and a top speed of approx. 180mph (what other car in 1970 could do that from the factory??). Its basically 1970 roadrunner with an aerodynamic nose and wing attatched. It was designed for Nascars ovals and dominated until it was banned from competition in 1971. Its main competitor on the track was the 1970 Ford Torino Talledega. The Superbird did not sell well in dealerships because It was considered to be way too radical of a design for the street. They often sat on lots for very long periods of time before being sold at discount prices. Today superbirds are commonly sold for over $200,000 and original Hemi Superbirds are usually closer to $300,000. Heres some pics (note. this is a 440 model)

Well that car was built for one thing, and thats NASCAR racing. But i personally like the Plymouth HEMI Cuda over that. but my fav muscle of all time has to be the Pontiac Trans AM. 79 had to be the best year for it.

[dis3as3d]

My choice is the 1968 L88 Corvette. Damn 600 horsepower, a top speed of over 170.

[graywolf624]

69 Dodge Charger R/T. It has just always been my favorite

[hemi_fan]

Nice choices all around. I personally like the 67 vette bodystyle better, but the L88 is an awesome engine! Charger R/Ts are also among my favorites.

[RC45]

My favourite muscle car is the 1969 ZL1 COPO Camaro.

BTW, the Lambo Muira and the Ferrari 365 Daytona both ran 180+mph top ends in 1970 - so the Italian - Domestic wars have been going forever... ;)

[novass]

well my favorite by default is my 63 NovaSS if you consider it a "true" musclecar. if it wasnt when it was brought out of the factory, it is now.

but my other favs are ZL1 Chevelle and Vette. 63 Split-window Vette. All Yenko cars. Tri-5 Chevys. Hemi Cuda....ahhh fuck it, this is gonna take too long as i like damn near everything :D

[Kangaroo Boy]

[SilviaS15Cwest]

'66 GTO!

[zr2man99]

'68 stingray

[spicymustard]

'71 Hemi Cuda 440 six pack convertable. Of wich only 15 or so were made.

[hemi_fan]

you'd take the 440 over the hemi??

[wfrigginlewis]

Hemi Orange, Panther Pink, or Sublime '70 AAR 'Cuda for beauty and a hint of elegance...

Hemi Orange or Plum Crazy '68 Hemi Roadrunner for pure, ugly, mean muscle...

[SilverandColdS4]

I love all of those except for the corvette. What is even rarer though is a 71 Hemicuda convertible original. I saw one for sale for like $500,000 awhile ago. It was in like mint condition in france silver in color.

[spicymustard]

oops i was getting carried away with mixed up stats i ment a hemi cuda convertable like silverandcold mentioned

[mhn3773]

its amazing to live in the us and see a charger r/t look like the one posted looks totaly different then the one i am used to

and the valiant look really really cool in AUS..the US version was not so great was it

id have to say my favorite car is a 69 charger =) and not because of the movie i have just always liked the lines..i think the dukes of hazard helped a bit to =) alwats wanted to just a barn...hmm

[phatlee]

Personally I like the '63 Stingray with the split window option. Something about the lines of that car that draws me to it. Much like how moths are drawn to lightbulbs....

[ghost rida]

Man, The Hemi is an unstoppable engine. Mopar claimed 425 HP, but that might have been with a 100 CFM 2bbl carb, christ. The only reason it had "425 HP" was so it could run in a lower class when drag racing. They did classes by HP per LB for drag racing out side of the NHRA (or whatever it was back then). I saw an article where a guy had dynoed a completely bone stock 2x4bbl carb set up. He could actually tie down the back of the charger it was in hard enough to not just spin his tires. He got a staggering 580 HP out of it. That is why Mopar was so dominant from the factory. They also way under "estimated" the 440's HP and tq. a 440 with a mild street cam upgrade and a pair of 4bbls with slicks, can lift the front end of a 69 GTX 2 ft off the ground. That is pretty crazy.

Mopar had the best muscle car engines. Chevy had some really good engines too. The 409 (my dad had one he had put in a 58 Impala, and it could haul), the 350 S/B is a good Pony Car engine, All the big blocks were pretty damn sweet! the 396 was a beast when it came out in the Malibu with 375 HP. The 427 was amazing, especially the L88. The L88s were one of the fastest engines stock, but i think the Hemi reacted better with major mods (cam, heads, and especially a blower)!

And all ford really had was the 428. The Shelby 427 used in the A/C Cobras doesnt count. The 428 was a pretty fast engine, but mustangs always got their shit kicked by Camaros.

[i_hate_the_enzo]

for me anyway, its all about the 68' hemi charger, you cant beat a good old hemi. but on the other hand, i have to give some props to the goat for starting it all

[FoxFour]

Same here for the Superbird hemi_fan. Another car that I like is the Plymouth GTX, especially the '68 model. How about a Olds 455 H.O?

[abarth]

shelby mustang Gt 350/500, cobra 427 or a corvette sting ray

[hemi_fan]

http://www.musclecarcalendar.com/eds69horsrfx.jpg

I love the Olds with the 455's, I actually almost got one as my first car. There was an unbelieveable deal on a 68 cutlass 455, but by the time i went to see it, it was already sold. :( But i probably wouldve never been able to afford the gas on a carbureted big block anyway.

[rebel88]

1967 Pontiac GTO
1969 Ford Mustang Boss 302
1970 Ford Mustang Boss 429

I really love the 1970 Ford Mustang Boss. Of course I would love drive any car from the peak of the muscle car era. A Boss version of the new mustang would be awesome.

[FordGTGuy]

66 GT-40 MK-II

[T-Bird]

that's not a muscle car that's a sports car.

[mit5005]

I like this car.. :D

[FordGTGuy]

What is your description of American muscle? High hp and torque well the Ford GT-40 MK-II had it why can't you call it?

[TransAm]

Me - most Corvettes, later shape Trans Ams (biased)

Wife - Dodge Charger

[blah]

67 Fastback, Boss 302, Shelby GT-500, and the Mach 1.

[T-Bird]

well Muscle cars were 2-door, 4 seater's with large V8's shoehorned under the hood that made huge loads of power and Torque.
the GT-40 was a homologation special Race Car that was slated into the Sports car category as in 2-door, 2-seater high HP car.
So the Corvette isn't really a Muscle Car either it's the "True American Sports Car"

[HeilSvenska]

Early 70's Camaro...especially the Z28s...so beautiful...
