Damn let me see if I can resize this picture, brb!

Anyhow some of you may not consider it a muscle car but I think it packs a punch!
Meh, if I save enough money to get a nice car, I'd rather get an mitsu evo because you can't actually drive those during the winter.

This is my favorite muscle car, you have to be a damn millionaire to afford one these days though. A 1963 "split window" Corvette. [img]http://www.letsknowabout.com/pic/corvette/c22.jpg[/img]

[QUOTE=Pretiacruento;19652344]You also forgot the Buick GSX, another beautiful Muscle car that combined luxury and speed... For what I've always read, they were probably the most expensive muscle cars back then...

They deserve the G-Treatment as much as many other cars from that era. ALSO, another beautiful car that comes to my mind is the AMC Javelin...

Oldsmobile Toronado's were pretty boss. They had the largest engine for a FWD vehicle. A nice beasty 7-liter V8. [img]http://www.familycar.com/classics/Images/66Toronado2.jpg[/img]
European cars are ugly to me. I don't hate them though but Jeep > Land rover. That there is a fact.

Dude, that's a dumb question Anything that looks similar to that is probably a classic muscle car I should rate you box, but I won't

I've always loved mustangs a friend of mine had a drag prepped 88 5.0 and my brother currently has an SN95 running 625HP. not to mention the fact that my grandpa bought two 64 1/2 mustangs straight off the line (my aunt wrecked both of them I would of killed her.......)
[QUOTE=Gman Killer;19699737]Aren't they mostly expensive though?[/QUOTE] Of course they are you dimwit, they're mainly collectors items. However, depending on it's condition and owner you might be able to get it cheaper, you might want to set your sights on a slightly more obscure muscle car, not a classic such as a Charger, Mustang Or a SS. But yes, they are mostly expensive depending on the condition it is in. [editline]06:48PM[/editline] Plus most muscle cars have the same design anyway, coke bottle anyone?

Anyone else a fan of the Plymouth Barracuda? [img]http://www.automotivehistoryonline.com/1970%20PLYMOUTH%20BARRACUDA.jpg[/img]
[QUOTE=Gman Killer;19699737]Aren't they mostly expensive though?[/QUOTE] Depends. There seems to be 3 general categories that muscle cars fit into when it comes down to price. Tons of people sell them for around 2-4 thousand dollars. These tend to be in operable shape, but have a few problems. These problems tend to be electrical, brakes, or oil leaks. The former two are easy to repair, the latter is a bitch. Once a car leaks oil, it will probably leak oil for the rest of its life. There's another group of people that sell them for around 6-8 thousand dollars. These tend to be in pretty good shape. Perhaps the paint is faded a bit due to sun exposure or it has a shitload of miles on it. They might also need new brakes or something simple like that. Then there's the 10-and-up ones, which tend to be in very good shape. They've either been well maintained or they've been restored. Restored vehicles can get extremely expensive, depending on how rare the vehicle is and how much exactly needed to be fixed. A not-so-rare and relatively good priced muscle car is the Nova, like suggested before. It's more of a pony car, but it still holds a V8 under the hood in most cases. El Camino's also run pretty inexpensively, those things are quick as shit despite their truck-ish appearance.
