PMSL at what half of you are calling a muscle car. (not everything that american with a V8 is a muscle car)

But if i had to choose a muscle car it would be the AC 427



But if i were to spend that sort of money on something american then it would defo be a rat/hot rod from the 1920/30's

like this





ANd lets not forget with hot rods coms PIN UP GIRLS

What you've chosen there though are hot rods and race cars for the road. Not muscle cars either.

it had a smack in the 1/4 some years back and the filler was bogus so he ground it back for me to re fill, he's a bit rough to be honest lol i try my best to get him to do it right but all he says is "she'll be right mate" just bog it so he puts it in when i'm not there and i then go rub most of it back out


you can't educate pork


it's a big thing and it's gona take a while to prep for paint lol

Been off line for awhile just found this!
My cousin and uncle have owned a number of muscle cars.
Got a soft spot for 1978 Pontiac Firebirds, as Ive been in a few fast ones growing up.
My cousins current 1978 Trans Am:



Also been in a 1969 455ci GTO Judge in bright yellow, and a 1965 GTO. Love early dodge chargers too.

Favourite muscle car has to be a 1970 Challenger 426 Hemi in white - Vanishig Point style.

tbh it aint really that big.....I shouldnt really have posted it in this topic tbh as most purists consider anything after a bull nose not to be a muscle car. Anyhows, it should be sounding well come next years leman trip...he's just ordered a very lumpy cam for the new engine build so even if it aint considered to be a true mucle car by some, its still gonna sound like one

I like chargers, GTO's and Shelby Mustangs. Think my fave would be a nice Hemi Cuda.

One of my favourites is this, a genuine 1970 1/2 Camaro Z28 which belongs to me
