    I can not get enough of these. Even not when they are painted in all colours of the rainbow. This is how a classic muscle car should look like.

    Pony car.

    I always preferred the very first generation Mustang, and the Mustang fastbacks. The Camaro in general never did it for me.

    EDIT: Beautiful photos there though. I'll take the Yenko.

    Indeed, I did not consider the difference between muscle cars and pony cars, but I stand to be corrected. The comment got me asking myself the question what was actually the difference between the types though.

    Without bothering doing a quick Internet check: A muscle car is just a family car with a heavy potent engine dropped in, like Chevrolet Impala SS. While a pony car was specially designed to be a lighter, more agile type of car, like the Mustang - right?

    I still refer to the term 'muscle car' in general as both types are cars which are based on regular versions which have been adapted to maximize performance. Although I understand technically this is incorrect and I might be shot for that by real enthusiasts. Forgive me my ignorance

    The early Mustangs I like as well by the way. Basically all classic American performance cars do it for me. The combination of classic looks and high performance engines - what not too like? This can certainly not be said for all of their modern variants.

    Unfortunately during the 70's the touch was lost a bit, ending up with (for American standards) pathetic horsepower ratings and still the wild striped liveries.

    The ponies were technically built on "compact" platforms: the Mustang on the Falcon's, the Barracuda on the Valiant's, and the Camaro/Firebird on its bespoke F-Body.
    Pretty much any other American sedan or coupe with a hi-po motor you can call a muscle car, but those three (and maybe one or two more that I'm forgetting) are ponycars.

    I don't know how to refer to pony and muscle cars in the same phrase, or other cool American cars from that era. I guess 60s Detroit Iron suffices.

    Forget about AMC.

    MoS, where are these white background shots from? Is there one of the Trans-Am Sunoco Penske Camaro?

    Don't tell anyone

    Thanks Duell for splitting the first part. My next post will be third & fourth gen Camaro's.

    After that I will leave it as is as I don't have new generation Camaro pic's.
