Muscle car thread? Post your favorite muscle car!

Aren't muscle cars supposed to have some degree of reliability and dependability?

1970 Dodge Challenger R/T

For classic muscle, this is my fav. '71 Mach 1

>LOOK DAD I POSTED YOUR CAR AGAIN

since when were solid lifters ever "reliable" or "dependable"

muscle cars were big fat hunks of shit which is why restoring them is so popular, they didn't stand the test of time.

My freind Al has a 64 big block chevelle with a factory solid cam and he hasn't had the valve covers off in 15 years.

That's because Al can't drive and spends his nights at the bingo hall

Fairlane 500 R-code

No, because Al actually knows how to correctly maintain an engine

if he hasn't adjusted valve lash in 15 years he hasn't "maintained" anything but the faith naive idiots (like you) have in him.

My Camaro had 248k miles on the 305 in it before I pulled it to swap in a 350

Try harder

I want this damn skylark again....

car looks sick, can I get the full name?

A camaro is still a shitbox, but it's not a fucking muscle car it's a purpose built sports coupe for secretaries, just like the mustang.

K, I was just debunking your "Murrica engines no good" statement.

"K" but you haven't debunked anything with your retarded irrelevant shitposting

Any 68-72 GM a-body is my favorite.

If trucks count, I like the 67-72 C10, especially the later Cheyenne Supers with all the wood trim.

'68 Charger

Sure thing bub

>442
HNNG

Mine are still ticking (figuratively, not literally)

One more 442 before I head to work.

kind of memey desu

C-c-c-can I be a muscle car too?

Twingo: The Muscle Car.

It' quite cute.

My solid lifter 383 big block seems fine.

By installing good parts (like poly-lock racer arms) and putting good synthetic oil into it he has no reason to have to adjust them. They don't clatter (any more than a solid lifter will) and his car runs like a top

Studebaker is my favorite

Are you in australia?

fav muscle right here

fuckin' kek, m8.

I love how old cars commonly came in purple, green, blue, yellow, etc. Seems like everything now is white, black and grey.

0-60 in 4.4 from a 500hp 6.8L V8 in 1969

I don't think usa ever made a sexier car then this.

you post the same 'comeback' every time someone mentions its your dads car, its embarrasing

i see plenty of old ass v8 pushrod statesmans, fairlanes, commonwhores and falcons looking abused, neglected and punished to fuck still going. Hell, i even see older I6 pushrod Kingswoods, Commodores and Falcons in unrestored condition still get around

My 1972 Chevy 350ci engine has 200,000 miles and has never been rebuilt. Old cast blocks and carbs are more finicky but they last a long time and are incredibly cheap to repair and maintain compared to new engines.

Damn near made a mess in my pants, I tell you what.

All hail the Rocket.

>those fender flares and wheels

Whoever did that was a moron. It was supposed to be the sleepiest sleeper ever seen in Europe.

It's hard to pick just one car, but I think this is probably my favorite. 1968-9 Torino (and to a lesser extent, Cyclone).

and the aero option Torino Talladega/Cyclone Spoiler II (unlike the base cars, they had the same front ends, just different paint really - Cyclone version came with decals)

>TFW have 04 Mach 1 in garage
It will never be the orginal

'69 Chevelle. Dream car here boys.

Best pop up lights, good looking broad too

hi gramps

Looks good wooderson, 9/10.

Hey Stampede.

How about a poem?

I like shitboxes

a pov-pack VH Charger with a base model 215 Hemi, 3 on the tree manual, bench seat, no radio, vinyl seats and drum brakes all round would be awesome, so long as i could buy that amazing shape

not really a muscle car but I'm posting it anyway

The 1970 model was better

there was a guy near me, not too long ago selling this car and I went to check it out, but seeing only 2 doors on this long body mopar just looked too weird to me. Regardless, it was a real nice car.

what is it about those old cars that give it the ability to make the "burbublburublbururlbl" noise?

Sorry if dumb question, but I legitimately don't know. Thanks

An aggressive cam and an unrestricted exhaust

67-69 Camaro Z28
>dat 302 SBC destroker
>dem disc brakes (front discs were standard, 4 wheel was optional)

I like pic related and one more
That looks like a 70 model

The other

>He doesn't know about old engine design.
>Implying all old V8s had solid lifters.

Moat ran hydraulic flat tappets and not solid lifters. Only the HiPos did (Hemi, Cobra Jet, 427 Fuelie, etc) and even then that didn't really affect reliability if you didn't change to some insane pressure valve springs. Do people not know this?

It was built by a Mercedes engineer and driver for racing ...

He's the reason the SEL existed.

So nah, it was never meant as a sleeper either.

My father's, 2/3 1967 camaros, hoping to get a good pic of all three together now that he has them out of storage

>yfw the shaker was a functional intake only from 70 to 72, and became decoration in 73

It's the only way to fit such wide tires on non-American cars because only American classics have three feet of extra side overhang beyond the wheels.

Nobody post this yet?
Nah '69 a best, Black Lagoon car right there, '71 model looks cool too though

what show?

GTO a shit, the Tempest Super Duty was the original bad boy.

Pretty good modern muscle tho', also dat hood is the shit.

Gunsmith Cats

thats a drag only car so its not really impressive

nice mullet on wheels

F-bodies are the shit

Thats a plymouth cuda, right?

>the ONE 305 chebby assembled that wasn't a pile of shit

Stock 305s will run forever. They just won't handle a lot of power.

...

Hnnnnnng those fatass tires

Oh sweet jesus, I was not aware how much Gunsmith Cats worshiped the glory of Two Banks Of Four.

7.4 Liter master race

I really need to get some good weather and go out and make new pics of my baby.

Noice, '79?

'80. You can tell by the side vents. The '78 and '79 have the fish gills, the '80 and '81 have a single opening.

All I know is the models past '77 got the new wave retro makeover, looking to get one myself, or I might save up more for a '73 RS

If you can afford a 70-73 RS, go for it. They look amazing. I was actually planning to change the rear panels and taillights to one of those early models, and modify the front piece for a similar split-bumper look.
Don't worry, I plan to use replica parts and keep the originals as they are.

1966/67 Charger

How do you gonna get those in Europe? Spare/replica parts for old cars are hit-and-miss even in the U'S.
