favorite non-mopar musclecar

[73-charger-383]

--if you owned a muslecar other than the offerings from mopar, what would it be?? (american made)

I'd take a 70 mach one........red w/black stripes.

[plum500]

Without a doubt....



..second choice:

[derailed]

definitly this

[Old Moparz]

It might not be classified as a muscle car, but the first car I'd get other than a Mopar is this one.

[Bluestar]

Gotta go with the 68 GTO.  Gotta have hideaways.

[THE CHARGER PUNK]

I'd say the Punisher 1969 gto , flat black,all alluminum interior, 1 seater with race gauages and bullit proof shielding OH YEAH!!!!

Haha. Where you at? The snow must at least be melted so I wouldn't have to shovel..

[chargerboy69]

I have had 5 of these cars. I love them. A 1979 10th. Anniversary Trans Am and some cash for my Charger? . . . . Maybe

[NYCMille]

chargerboy69 -

I LOVE THOSE CARS!!!... seriously, it's like they gave a bunch of GM designers a big bag of coke, locked them in a room and said GO NUTS GUYS... that thing is AWESOME!

Cheers to you my friend... one day I will own one of those... one day.

ahh heck, its a boring friday afternoon and i'm stuck at work as well....

[NYCMille]

 

[mikepmcs]

does new school muscle count?

[19Charger68]

Our 67 SS427.  Number's matching 4 spd and 95% original.  Only 2,200 produced.

[Chris G.]

Pic #1 is and always will be my most desired Brand Xer. The pic is from the early 80's, and I would take the car exactly how it looked.

Pic #2 isn't bad either and wouldn't be kicked out of the stable.

Now I need to go bathe with steel wool. Talking Chevy's and Ford's makes my skin itch.

[kooldodge]

mine would be a 69 GTO JUDGE RAM AIR 4 IN ORANGE, very bad looking 

[Paul G]

Late model muscle included?

[dkn1997]

Not a real car in the true sense of the word, but...

[JimShine]

definitly this

+2

[slamooo]

1969 split window corvette. Wrap your ass in something fast wrap your ass in fiber glass.
Make mine corvette. But I like my Charger better.

[hemigeno]

66 Cobra 427

I've actually thought about building a kit car, and shoe-horning a hemi in just to tick off the elitists from the ascot-and-leather-driving-gloves group.

[MassCharger73]

1963 1/2 R code Galaxie 500 with a 4 speed.

[Jim Curnane]

You can see 3 other of my favorites 66 GTA Convertible , a 65 442 Convertible( 64 GTO Convertible matching number tri-power 4 speed under restoration) and of course my 72 Rallye

[BigBlackDodge]

Pretty cool with race heritage.


BBD

[TruckDriver]

1st choice in this color combo... with a 428 & 4spd




2nd choice only with a black interiour & 4spd.



3rd choice with a 429 & 4spd

[mikepmcs]

1969 split window corvette. Wrap your ass in something fast wrap your ass in fiber glass.
Make mine corvette. But I like my Charger better.

do you have a picture of a 1969 split window corvette??
v/r
Mike

[DC_1]

this would be on my list

[TheGhost]

I have 3 that I'd have a tough choice choosing between.


1.  66 GTO, 389 tri power, perferably in that gorgeous maroon color they had.....
2.  70 Rebel Machine.  Nuff said.
3.  77 Trans Am.

[69 OUR/TEA]

One of these.... '70 GS Stage 1.

 Definitely ,these 455 stage 1's were very quick and yet underestimated because they were a BUICK.They were  underrated at 360 HP and 510 LBS of torque.It was later found to be closer to 425 HP.In the MOPAR world ,some high values  are based upon  low production numbers,for example an AAR Cuda(2722 built), and less 70 BUICK GS 455 stage 1's (2465 built) ,even with the performance capabilty and low production numbers they are not even close to the value of an AAR.On another note,check out he F.A.S.T. class races,Greg G. has been doing pretty well with his 71 455 stage 1,not sure but I beleive he has won three years in a row.I have always been in for the love of the hobby,not the values,it doesn't matter to me what a certain car is worth,if I like it..I like it!!! I just happened to get lucky with my AAR when I bought it back in 02,just before the market took off,both the AAR and GS are awaiting  resto,but  after my Charger is finished I am actually going to do the Buick before the Cuda.So my favorite non-mopar musclecar would have to be the 70 GS 455 Stage 1,but tightly followed by the 87 GN.(owned that one since 92).

[69 OUR/TEA]

pics....

[Ghoste]

69 Ford Cobra with formal roof and the 428 CJ or a 70 Torino fastback with a 429CJ.

[694spdRT]

I am a Pontiac fan too so give me a 1969 GTO Judge to go with my '77 T/A.

It might not be from the right era but, I would love a 1989 20th Anniversary Turbo Trans Am in the garage....and why not a 30th Anniversary too. 

[nakita7]

For me a 72 Gran Torino Sport fastback with a black interior. Best looking Torino by far...

Or...

69 GTO Judge Orange (of course!) on black w/hideaways. Hello...

[Lightning]

I'd like a mid '60's Ranchero for my other choice...

[TylerCharger69]

AMC Javelin....I used to have one of these back in the day...

[RD]

not really a musclecar, but a '57 Studebaker Silver Hawk please

[greenpigs]

Not in this color combo but Big Bad Orange with the shadow treatment would work.

[cool440]

A 68 or a 69 Camaro.

Always thought these were the coolest non mopar car in the 60's

Michael

[262chargers]

a couple of my non-Mopar rides, I am not brand loyal, I love cars...

Kind of a Mopar, my dad bought this one in 1972, now I own it...







65 fastback...



The new toy...




my 6 year old thinks its her car..

[derailed]

You can see 3 other of my favorites 66 GTA Convertible , a 65 442 Convertible( 64 GTO Convertible matching number tri-power 4 speed under restoration) and of course my 72 Rallye

 Love that 64 Jim, For me it would be a toss up between the 64 and 67s. I sold my 64 LeMans along time ago and wish I still had it. Would like to see pics of that when its done.  

[Chad L. Magee]

Well.......   This one is difficult to strictly answer for me.  Of my off brands, Boss 351, Boss 302, 69-72 Mach 1s, Camaro RS/SS 396, and 70 stingray vette are all good but I don't really consider one better than the other.  Each one have a specific use.  My friends pick Buick GS or GNXs as their other toys (other than Mopars).    I guess if I had to chose one over the other......   I would have to go with a Balwin Motion 69 Corvette Phase III GT (my vette is going to become a clone of one, since the orginals never get sold for less than a mid-six figure amount now and are rarely offered).  Believe it or not, some of the BM corvettes used 69 Charger gas caps (just picked up one last weekend for $20).........

[greenpigs]

Hey 262 you got enough bird feeders?

[hemihead]

I always kinda like the 69-70 Cougar Eliminators.

[MoparMotel]

This would probably be it for me

'69 442

[Guns N Rotors]

My '71 Stingray

Thanks I have had the car for a year now I have gotten a lot done I am pretty anxious to jump in and get it done just waiting for some funds it was an awsome score. Thanks

[262chargers]

Hey 262 you got enough bird feeders?

My wife has to collect something cheap, I spend all the money 

[John_Kunkel]

Once again the discussion begs the definition of a muscle car.

If one accepts the separate categories of "sports Car" and "pony car", Vettes and Cobras are not, by definition muscle cars nor is the Mustang.

[rt green]

67 chevelle black with 396 4 speed, or a 1970 ss 396 camaro 4 speed

[TheGhost]

[262chargers]

So tell us, what is the definition of a "muscle" car? 

[greenpigs]

To me it is:

1) The era - 1964-72
2) Power to weight of 12 to 1 minium

[derailed]

Heres the lame ass websters definition, I guess ragtops dont count

Main Entry: muscle car
Pronunciation: -"kär
Function: noun
: any of a group of American-made 2-door sports coupes with powerful engines designed for high-performance driving

[Lowprofile]

American Made, 2 door, the more cubic inches the better, multi carb, 4-speed, posi-traction, tire shredding, ear piercing, ground pounding performance. 

[JMF]

I've always wondered this myself, I would say it's the era, 1964 - 1973, although being from England any American car with a V8 is usually referred to as a muscle car

[69charger383]

69 Goat w/ Ram Air 3

[Brock Samson]

you guys pretty much all covered my favs...

..or,..

[TylerCharger69]

[Brock Samson]

[tipopiola]

I'd have to say either a 69' Mach 1 428 Cobra Jet or a 69' Olds 442 ragtop.  First choice though is my 68' R/T!  Tipopiola

[48chebbie]

i would have to say,70 GS stage 1
kinda before the "era" but,a 62-63 421 SD factory lightweight catalina,would be a vicious ride.
stretch back well before the "era",a 57 300C ragtop 2X4 and a 4spd. sweet.

No two sources agree, here's one:

And for those who say "Who cares?" I'll cast my vote for the Ford GT40.

[h76]

No question-1970 AMC Rebel The Machine
