Best classic American muscle car!!!

For me it's all about the 69 Camaro SS

Fleet got it right for me, the 68 Charger, awsome! i think it's the one in "Blade" i just love it.

According to my taste the Plymouth 440 CUDA takes the cake. It's style, its rareness, its massive engine overwhelmed me. However, I'm open minded and looking forward to evaluate alternatives.

I second this vote.

[Fleet 500]

Taking one example; when adjudged by the more credible performance data already posted, its hard to believe the fastest version of a 100% stock-standard as-delivered Dodge Challenger (426 V8 Hemi eg) as being any quicker than a corresponding version of our Valiant Charger Hemi - whether judged in a straight line, let alone around a track or indeed for fast road driving. This despite the Valiant not even being a V8!

The fastest version of a 100% stock-standard as-delivered Dodge Challenger/Charger was mid-13s @ 105 mph 1/4 mile, with a top speed of 145+ mph. The Charger Daytona could go even faster... 160+ mph.

Could you imagine any big-block US muscle car keeping up with a GT-HO, Six-Pack Charger, or even the little 3.3 litre 6-cyl Torana XU-1, around Bathurst for 500 miles .. I think not

The big-block U.S. muscle cars, of course, were meant mainly for the drag strip. However, some have been in road racing/rallye courses and do better then many people think.
But for sheer power and torque and drag racing, the U.S. muscle cars were tops.

And Reagan was a much better actor than Madonna!

Did he star in porn, too?

My faves are the Buick GSX, Dodge Challenger and Oldsmobile 442

Does the Duesenberg 'SSJ' count?

It's very classic. It's very American. And it's very muscular!

[johnnynumfiv]

Too old isn't it? When the Duesenberg 'SSJ' was created I believe that the term muscle car wasn't existing. Therefore, I would have to say that muscle cars are those type of cars that among other elements they are also manufactured between early 60's and mid 70's. Any objection well accepted.

I've always been rather partial to the Super Bee/GTX/Road Runner trio...I'd want a '69 GTX convertible in Icefire Blue with white top and interior sporting a 440/6 and 4-speed thank you. Of course, they were also available with the Hemi...

I couldn't find the exact color combo, but it would look pretty similar to the '69 here:
