That '55 comes out to the Kemah auto meet every weekend.  It was there lastnight, too.

[DiabloTX]

This guy was there, too.  Parked right next to me.  Claimed he was in the government relocation program, used to fly some virtual vintage fighter game, and came from Oklahoma.

Look at muscle from 82 forward. Ford kicked off the HP comeback with the 82 Mustang GT. Everything has been getting better from there.

I think you were joking, right?  Everything after 73/74 was made for women.

This is my 1969 Buick GS400 Stage1 Convertible.
Got this car for $600.00 back in 1989, I'm the 2nd owner. I drag raced the car for years, ran 13.62@102mph in the 1/4 mile. Then I found out how many where made and stopped racing it.

limiting yoursel;f there. why is an 89 stang with a streetaable 450 hp not considered a muscle car?

[CAP1]

Because he hates getting blown into the weeds by modern muscle.

best thing about modern muscle, is that it'll outrun, outstop, outturn, and outdistance anything fornm the 50's 60's or 70's

Look at muscle from 82 forward. Ford kicked off the HP comeback with the 82 Mustang GT. Everything has been getting better from there.

79 mustang was that start

it was the fox chassis. ford built 26(i think) different cars on it. the mustang was on the fox chassis from 79 till 03 or 04 i think,

1971 Dodge Charger here, getting back into shape bit by bit. It's the most basic model though, with the 318, so no real muscle there -- yet.

[Borat]That's a real niiiiiice![/Borat]

I wanted to see how many of you had real Muscle cars(i.e. the big money cars, 426 Hemi's, 427's, 454's, 400's, 455's Olds, Buick's and Pontiac's, 428 and 429's and 390, 401 AMC's and small blocks too, so on)
Many muscle cars where made from 1955-1975, Chrysler started it with the 300's Hemi's in 1955, and it ended with BOP's(Buick,Olds, and Pontiac) in 1975.

Side note the first real "muscle cars" where built in the 1930's, DUESENBERG had 270hp in 1930 with the inline supercharged 8(it would do 102mph in 2nd gear!!), and that was when V8 Fords, and Chevy's only had a max hp of 60.

If you want to talk about New muscle cars, thats fine.

Even before that, if you want to count the Stutz Bearcat, you can go back as early as 1911.

1966 Mustang Convt. Completely stock and all numbers match the originals back in '66. See at Hot August Nights in Reno this week

I had a `65 Stang convertible at one time. A biscuit can with wheels.
Hated the damn thing.

I think you were joking, right?  Everything after 73/74 was made for women.

You have no idea Txmom. I said "started the HP come back". This car lit the fuse that started the hp wars up again. It was (by most of the mags at the time) almost 1 sec faster through the 1/4 mile than its GM counterparts. It woke GM up and they started building quicker f-bodies.
