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.  :2thumbs:

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

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.

:no:

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

To me it is:

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

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

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.
how'd i do that!?!?!?

No two sources agree, here's one:

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