i agree with westside....
When the GTO's died and the Chevelle became the 4 door wonder it is today and then then was completely killed off in 79? Chevelle= New Chevy Malibu, for the foriegn car guys.
But pretty much when the big blocks and the "high revving 7Krpm" small blocks died due to gas prices and emissions. The muscle car era died. (Classics are luxury and early 60's cars and earlier.) So do new muscle cars exist nowadays, I'll give it to the vette, but nothing else.
oh yeah westside I remebered what that car was, it is a fullsize car though. The impala back when it was rear wheel drive with a bbc. I saw one stock with sticky tires, it did a 45* angle and the whole frame twisted in the air.
Oh one of the reasons that muscle cars were exceptionally popular was the foriegn cars of the day, were junk, though datsun's were pretty nice and suprisingly stylish for a foriegn car during those days. As far as junk, I mean, foriegn cars were generally, (not all) very ugly. The euro cars weren't bad but the japanese ones were, ugh. The
ferraris brand new, were falling apart; and thats a fact and it plagued ferrari from the late sixties to the mid seventies.
Believe it or not i was going to get a 72' ferrari beautiful car real cheap, like 14K and learned why it was so cheap, they break.
