What are currently your 3 favorite muscle cars and why ?


Irrespective of the age, make or model, what are currently your 3 favorite muscle
cars and please separately say why, for each fave one named. You don't have to
offer only ultra technical-mechanical reasons, but it's fine if that stuff is
mentioned.

I'd have to say the folowing are my favourite:-

AC/Shelby Cobra 427 GT - the engine noise & it goes like a missle
1965 Shelby Mustang GT500 - looks amazing & its just an iconic car
Dodge Viper - looks amazing & has that insane 8.4 litre V10 engine under the bonnet/hood


So punk0001 what are your 3 fav muscle cars?

The only one you listed that's actually a muscle car is the '70 Road Runner.

None of those are muscle cars:

AC/Shelby Cobra 427 GT = sports car
1965 Shelby Mustang GT500 = pony car
Dodge Viper = sports car

1) Oldsmobile Cutlass - Although 1970 is my favourite year for this one, all the vintage Cutlasses look amazing. Its a car that looks very spacious and comfortable. It also has the rocket 350 with it. Since it has the best of both worlds, this is a car that I see myself driving across the country with. It was in a movie called Black Cat Run.

2) 1969 Dodge Challenger - Overall styling, pistol grip shifter, Vanishing Point(original and remake), 4 large dashboard gauges, the wood/stainless rimblow wheel. Everything about this car I like lol

3) 1970 Buick Skylark - Same reason as the Cutlass, except that it has different styling.

There's no such thing as a 1969 Dodge Challenger, and Challengers aren't muscle cars anyway, they are pony cars.

'69 Chevelle SS with a 396ci. Dark Blue. Bad looking car, raised read end, big tires, deep dish aluminum wheels. Knew a guy in HS, who knew a guy who parked his in the store parking lot, where he worked, facing the street. Drove by often and saw it. Beautiful car. Blue print engine.

'72 Plymouth 'Cuda, 440 or 460 Hemi. Good looking body style. Dodge Challenger is nice as well.

'69 Ford Mustang. Nice body style. Or Shelby GT500. 428ci Cobra Jet.

'71 Chevy Camaro SS, 396ci. Nice.

1. 1969 Dodge Charger: Second-generation Chargers have the best looking body style in history, plus it's the "General Lee."

2. 1969½ Plymouth Road Runner (A12 package): This car (along with the virtually identical A12-package 1969½ Dodge Super Bee) was the quintessential "muscle car." It had zero fluff, i.e., it came with a spartan interior (bench seats, no center console) and plain stamped steel wheels, the kind that are intended to be covered by hubcaps, but it didn't come with hubcaps, which might be the only time in history that that's ever happened with a street-legal production car. All of the money you spent on the A12 package went toward performance. It had the same heavy duty suspension, cooling system, and brakes that Chrysler's B-body police package cars had, plus it had the first (and best) incarnation of the 440 Six Barrel engine (the Dodge version was called "440 Six Pack"), along with a liftoff, blacked-out fiberglass hood with a giant, functional hood scoop molded into it. It ran mid-12s in the quarter-mile, bone stock, making it the fastest-accelerating production car in existence at the time. With some headers, tuning, and slicks, you could easily get it into the 11s.

3. 1966 Ford Fairlane GT: I like the body style and my father had one that he bought brand new (the only new vehicle that he ever bought). Unfortunately, it was long gone by the time I was born, but I've seen pictures of it.

Its not a muscle car but a 1984 Honda Accord is still today my all time favorite automobile. Mine had a 97.5ci engine

I like Dom's Charger.
I like James Bond's underwater car.
And I like the Doc's Delorean.

These are possibly my favourite three cinematic cars.
