Well BTM put me up to it so...........
That's right blame me :lol:

Just for starters

1969 Dodge Cherger is probably the best-known Muscle-car, for the 'Dukes' (TV & all 3 films), plusit was also the assassins car in 'Bullitt'

1970 Challenger 'Hemi' awesome machine

1969 Plymouth GTX in sheer 'brutal aggression' terms

Cobra 427 (for a long time the quickest accelerating production car in the world)

1968 Ford Mustang GT390. Frank Bullitts' wheels, a bit too pretty though, but still ighly desirable. Fitted with a NASAR engine for filming

Plymouth Superbird. 200MPH from Detroit with a 'push-rod' V8

Later (80's) possibilities include BuickGrand National

Because that's essentially where the expression came from & therefore the archetypal 'Muscle-Cars' are American

There's one major rule for a 'Muscle Car'; a stonking V8 :D
Okay, here's the British contingent
Aston-Martins (all the V8 models)
TVR 450SEAC, Chimera 450, Griffith 500, Cerbera 4.5 (discount the Sagaris & Tuscan as they're 6-cylinders)
Jenson Interceptor (FF is cool)
Bentley Arnage & Continental T

From the Antipodes;
Holden Commodore & Monaro

South Africa;
Ford Pirahna ( 5.0 V8 Capri)

Post by: Greybeard on March 14, 2006, 16:05:18: Was a guy a few years ago who had a collection round this area including a GT500, a Superbird, a true Chevy Stingray both convertable and hardtop and a real 7.2ltr Cobra to name just a few. His son took me out in the GT500 , talk about axle tramp but boy did it sound awesome and when it did stop tramping it was pretty quick.

'66 AC/Ford 427 Cobra

Are you kidding?? :shock: :shock:

No-one could discount a 427 Cobra.
Admittedly it's not a saloon/coupe bosy style, but 7litres 'stuffed into a pint-pot' is a sure fire winner.
And as for the acceleration (0-100 in 8.8seconds, & probably less in a tuind version) & that wonderful noise :(biglove):

Not quite as pretty as the 289 though, which in itself is a giant-killer

With you all the way. Just mean to say, they're sports cars really, not muscle cars.

Anything with a 427ci V8 that's the size of an MGB gets my vote. 8)
