muscle cars!

[Start'er up]

Wut is ur favorite muscle car and why?............................................
I personaly like the '71 El Camino SS becasue it has the definate power and stance with the big block 502 and some room. My dad had a beutiful one but he had to sell it when he had me!

[SSMaxxND]

68 camaro z28 rs. had a crazy engine.... bhp was rated at 290 but was actually 340. its hot....its a 327 block with a 283 crank so it revs high, and was 302ci so it could run trans am series. my father had one with some nice mods. car was seriously a race car with mufflers sold to civilians. i wish he didnt sell it, we are gonna restore an old maro soon. oh yea and the rs was cool bc the headlights flipped lol.

'67-'69 'CUDA

Here is a link to a pic of a HEMI CUDA

I would like to get one and build a 360 stroked to 408ci for it.

[Phroziac]

'68 corvette L-88 It is equipped with a 427 engine which "boasts lots of power" (lol, found that on an ebay auction). Power isn't everything in a muscle car (close to it), it has to look cool to

[shook2000]

the 1964 gt500 elenoar mustang from gone in 60 seconds. it looks so awsome and its got power

[SS454]

1970 Chevy Chevelle SS 454 LS6!!!!!!

The SS seriers was one of the most feared ones on the road then! A 454 rated at 450hp and about 500torq.....SWEEET!

[cooldude3552000]

Shelby AC cobra! That was a monster. The one with the bigger engine and big fenders/bodykit

[BobR]

Hmmm, tough question. I'd go for a 1965 Polara 426 Max Wedge, 1968 Dodge Charger R/T Hemi, 1970 Dodge Challenger R/T Hemi, or 1970 Plymouth 'Cuda AAR (340ci only). In its day, nothing could touch a Hemi. On the Speed Channel's coverage of the Barrett-Jackson auction, I remember hearing Derek Daly say "Hemis just laughed at everything else".
The 425hp rating was only a number put out to fool insurance companies. In reality, almost all Hemis topped 530hp stock, and a few left the factory with cams to top 700hp. Talk about an adrenaline rush - whoa!

I'm not a Mustang guy, but if I'm not mistaken, that was a '67. There was no '64 Mustang, only a '64 1/2. Shelby GT350/500 models didn't come until mid-'66.

Im with you on that one! That is a sweet car. Just the sound of the 454 in a car is SWEET!!!!!

And yes the mustang in gone in 60 seconds is a 1967 and there was only about 400 of them made..And actually on ebay about a month ago, eleanor sold for 250,000 thousand dollars..I aint lying either..Thats the truth.

[Btmaxx]

YOu are correct, The 'eleanor' car was a 67. ANyway, my favorite muscle car is the one i got sitting in my driveway, 1970 Ford Torino Cobrajet.

I liked all of those cars you posted. For '65 though I would have to go for the Belvedere II. I like the looks of the E-Body Cuda but for the strip, I Like the older A-Body Cudas. They were lighter that the E-Body. I would try to stay away from the early Cuda's (Before '67) just because the engine compartment is a little on the small side

You were correct about the Mustang.

That is one Ford I would not mind owning......Long enough to sell it.

[partsdonor]

1968 Hurst/Olds only 517 built and the only GM A body with anything over 400 CID in 1968

[k-vette]

I like corvettes, but a cobra is hard to beat. Anyone ever seen the factory five cobra kits? That would be a sweet project. I also like just about anything with a 427,440,454, etc.

[shook2000]

hers a pic of that mustang http://www.carmemories.com/images/dbimages/3443.jpg

[dbo]

yeah hate to say it but the closest thing your gonna get to a real cobra is a kit car ... a true #'s matching 66-67 427 cobra is 500k mint 1 mill if its signed by carol him self..... better start saven ure pennies

[k-vette]

about 20,000 $$$ and a few hundred hours of work, a kit sounds good compared to the real thing. With a stock mustang engine a cobra kit will do 0-60 as fast as lamborghini diablo. The accel would feel like gettin' hit from behind.

[graphite07]

1963 falcon sprint with 260 v8 4 speed tranny.
my car i restored it from ground up

i also like the 65 mustang and 69 chevelle..

[stupid pede]

1970 chevelle super sport with the new 572 from gm 600 horses with the 4 speed muncie tranney

[ANT]

[NitroSpotRcr]

1971 Dodge Super Bee
http://www.71superbee.com/B5/440_6pk/
i have a friend who has one, he is recentaly getting it painted, he also took his engine apart and put a new cam in, he will be able to get about 550 to 600 horse power

[SS454]

Now who could forget the Dodge Daytona!? The car that banned wings in NASCAR!!!

The kit car Cobras are nice, but why not put in a 427 like a real one!?


Anyone seen the new Chevelle!!!!????

Its only gunna be limited edition, either with a 350 or a 454!!!
SWEEEEET!

As far as the Corvette ZO6 goes I don't believe that list is new enough to list it.

Actually the 66 Satelite was available with the HEMI. Many refered to it as the Belvidere but it was the Belvidere Satelite. Here is one page where you can read about it.

http://www.musclecarplanet.com/History/Plymouth_66.htm

And another


http://www.hubcapcafe.com/ocs/pages01/plym6601.htm

And an auction on eBay where they are selling an origional ad describing the 426 HEMI Belvidere Satelite

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=7900257695

LOOK AT NUMBER 30 ON THE LIST!! Buick GNX= Buick Grand National!

[nitro hawk kid]

Im sorry but I dont believe that the sattalite had the hemi. I have found nowhere saying (besides that site) that there was a sattalite with a hemi, and I have not found any for sale. Unless its like other cars that only a few were made with a hemi...

If you look at LiveLarge44's post above, you'll see a few. My dad had a new one as his first car, way back in 1967, I believe...

Here is a site that lists production numbers for the 1966 Hemi Satellite.

http://www.440magnum-network.com/inf...iproinfo.shtml

Looks like there was a total of 844 Belvedere Satellites made with the HEMI in 1966 which is more than they put in the Coronet or charger that year. If you include the entire Belvedere line there was 1521 with Hemi's. That is better than 55% of the Hemi's that year. You can probably convince me though if you just say that there were none built one more time.

Here is one more site for you.

http://www.allpar.com/model/satellite.html

One more thing.....If you are looking on the internet for info you will need to spell Satellite correctly.

[SS454]

Thats what I was askin, if there were only a few made so they arent very well known..

I was looking on sites such as trader online where you can find anything, so it was spelled right...

[N-4-Speed]

If you're not talking about just older muscle cars, ill go with a viper gts or competition coupe as my favorite
