That's an awesome looking car!

Nice looking project car...

:jesuslol:

I've got a 68 Barracuda Notchback that's awaiting a long overdue restoration. Needs everything from the rockers down.

btw, great looking impala, i just picked up a '63

:bow:

Id call that a Muscle car its a pretty generic term
some wouldn't consider mine a muscle car
I know some people like to get technical about it lol

Used to have:

I've had a C-10. Loved that thing, looking into getting another one, or a 66 Chevelle.

btw what are the requirements to be called a muscle car?

American + V8 + RWD :shrug:

I think the Vagons qualify, along with the likes of the Chevrolet SS, Charger SRT & up.

So not a car counts?

Here is another one of my trucks. Unfortunately the most recent picture is it parked next to another project that will never be finished. The last picture I have of it together is prefixed dsc, which means it was a borrowed sony handicam before I got a digital camera.

I bought it with the 429 already in it, but it was a 70's hot rod and I've since modernized some things over the years.
mid 70's 429 heads changed out for dove heads
manifolds changed to headers.
power steering conversion with a Toyota steering box
4 wheel disk brakes with a power booster from a late 70's ford truck
Went from 1 wheel wonder with 4.11 gears (it would spin into 3rd) to a lsd with 3.50's. I also added gt350 style traction bars at that time.

Currently what is taking forever is re doing the bed. It was used as a truck and it shows. I'm also putting mini tubs in to get a little more tire in the back. It's still been out of commission for longer than is reasonable for the work being done though.

Originally, "muscle cars" were intermediate-size vehicles with larger engine options-- Chargers, Road Runners, Fairlanes, Chevelles, GTOs, etc.
The Mustangs, Camaros, Javelins and Challengers were all "pony cars" based on compact-size chassis.

Now, the Vagons, SS and Chargers qualify as muscle cars. I'm not sure about the Mustangs, Camaros and Challengers, which are now built on chassis shared with larger-than-compact sedans...

lets just keep it simple and a generic term.

what's interesting is that back in the day (which was a wednesday) i'd always think of a muscle car as having 2-drs as well... nowadays there are super sedans or rebodied cars like the Charger and Malibu which have become sedans...

I'll stand by V8 (or bigger) + RWD (AWD maybe)

German Muscle Cars > American Muscle cars

Everyone is entitled to their opinions.

What German muscle car do you have?

Modern, I'd probably agree, I'd have an AMG V8 > most contemporary American competition.
Back in the 60-70s, :patriot: US > *

So does that mean newer Dodge's are > * because they have German engineering under them? :D

:nod:

As an overall package, the Germans know their way around a V8 sedan.

For the sake of raw power ... there's no missing the Dodge Demon / Hellcat. They're absolute monsters from factory.

Hellcat - 10.7 @ 127mph w/ a 1.5 60' ...

Add a pulley, E85, and slicks ... you've got a low second 10 second car :rofl:

• 1/4 Mile ET:

  10.796

• 1/4 Mile MPH:

  127.300

• 1/8 Mile ET:

  6.962

• 1/8 Mile MPH:

  101.680

• 0-60 Foot ET:

  1.587
  

I mean this mostly in jest. A Durango SRT sound like hella fun.

Man, looked up MSRP for a Durangon SRT....ouch that is quite a price tag...starts at 63k...wouldn't be surprised if many are in upper 60s to even 70k range after all said is done.....

My baby

A lot of nice cars and trucks on here! I don't consider this a true muscle car but this is my 90 notch that Ive had since I was 16. Currently going another engine/trans swap.

Muscle Car??

Damn you guys ...

I hate wanting ALL cars :rofl: - A V8 is certainly in my future ... but the B5 would have to go :sad:

You have German muscle.

I think it has the power of a muscle car, but I don't think it has the attitude / feel of one :shrug:

Yeah, it probably feels this level of refinement. I suppose that's why we don't call them muscle cars. Although, I have heard that comparison when comparing a Viper and a Corvette. The C7s is just so sophisticated it's just not the stereotypical muscle car like the Viper.

Trash. All you own is trash.

Well if Fox Bodys count... then I'm in! :chuckle:

FYI the maroon one is for sale if anyone is interested :D
