Is it just me, or does no one seem to accredit the early muscle cars? I
mean, were it not for the big bodied cars from the mid 50's to the early
60's there might not have been a huge future for the late 60's and early
70's. The early cars had big power too. Ford had the 427 for a fair time,
about the same time Chevy did too. Z11 Impalas, Thunderbolt Fairlanes,
These were the original dealer sold race cars.
Fastest car the time, 1969 Dodge Daytona 426 "Race Hemi"...... Top speed,
245 mph, with stock street Hemi, 205 mph top speed. And the 69 Charger
should top the list, my car has yet to be beat by any car ive raced "knock
on wood" 528 Six Pack, Tremec 6 spd, Dana 60, 3.75 cogs. Hoping to scrounge
up the money to pit the all aluminum 426 Hemi in soon. Beast
@DylanR2008 Yes , but the paint job of the car is beauty at its best in
mopar form , in my opinion , black and orange??? awesomeness. I myself
couldn't care if it was a 426 or a 340 , makes a great sounds ... but the
prob is gas prices. I think I might prefer 340 , less gas consumption , I
think the less horse power the less gas wasted.
At least you're not one of those fan boys that doesn't realize that every
car maker had good muscle cars. My personal favorite is the 1970 Charger
R/T Hemi but I also love the old Mustangs, Camaros, Gran Torinos, etc. I
don't let the whole "fanboy" thing get in the way of me enjoying all of the
American muscle cars.
I'm so glad there are hardly any negative comments here! I usually don't
even look at the Fords or Chevys (MOPAR or no car), but I love all these
great old cars. Your opinion is your opinion, I would have a different list
but I love yours! Thanks for the great pictures!
The 429SCJ was one of the stongest engines available, stonger than the
W-30, Stage1, Ram Air IV and 440-6 Pack. Actually it was a strong in street
rim as the 426 Hemi. But the Torino Cobra was so heavy at 4300 lbs it kind
of defeated the purpose.
dude those are badass cars no doubt.. but one of my favorites is the 70 amx
390..most enthusiasts of the american muscle car era never include these
great beasts. amc had muscle cars from the 50's to 1974.. great video
dude...
dodge challenger should be number 1 everyone always put chargers but
challenger is best even now a days look at the charger srt8 looks like a
egg to me in the back the charger is sticking old school
Great vid!!!!!!!! love the part were it says dream car and then the 1970
cuda come up. u definatley know your cars and i agree cuda is definately a
amazing car to own
@DONDIVA69 The CJ was a torque motor, motortrend said it had a "lethargic"
way about, the Hemi was a low and brute and a High end powerhouse-couldnt
be touched
