Whats your favorite muscle car ?

[Road Warrior]

In USA my favorite is the Mustang Shelby 350, and here in Brazil (we have only a fews "brazillian" muscles here) my favorite is the Ford Maverick GT V8 1979, this car is the LAST V8 of the Brazil, take a look in this one :

OMG.. a blown Maverick. Now I've seen everything.


I'd have to say my favorite is the 1969 Camaro Z-28.

Favorite for me is a VH Charger R/T E-49.

Dude,


That Maverick is a '79?!?! It looks just like my old '71. Mavericks only lasted until about '76 or '77 here in the US.


I always figured it to be a closet muscle car with the right equipment!

Here the last Maverick is de 79, and the last Ford Landau (a "brazillian" Lincom) is the 1983 !!! the mavericks have a diferent history here, the build start at 73, with a very old Willys 6 cil. engine (i mean very very old !) and the famous 302 V8 with a poor carburator... some people buy a Holley quadrijet carburator to put in the Mavericks, and some crazy people put a blower on it !!! hehehe... i have one too, a original 1976, but my is the "ecomomic one", have a 4 cil. 2.3 engine (the same of Mustang 2), but i change the carburator too (is a little fast now) i dont know why... but the Brazillian Ford in the 70's always put a poor carburator in yours big cars... about the mavericks here, we have 2 clubs, take a look :

Several come to mind....


'69 Hurst Olds 455


'68 Shelby KR500- a friend had the actual car raced in Lemans. it had two fourbarrels and sounded like danger.


'70 454 LS6 Chevelle- My cousin had one that was perfect. I mean conquors perfect. He sold it for $28,000. about ten years ago. LS6 is considered to be the highwater mark of muscle cars.


'71 454 StingRay -390 hp, 4 speed, side pipes. -another friend had this car. He would melt the tires so badly the rubber would have pebbles imbedded permanently


'77 TransAm 400 with 4 speed. Torque Torque and more torque. I had one that was geared in the high 2's and seemed to never top out. I can still hear the quadraJet moaning..


''69 429 Boss Mustang.


'87 Buick GN, Turbo 231 V6. These cars sound strange but they will make a 'vette look slow.

Looks as though you are a fan of the 70's era cars, good to see someone else who likes the 71-73 Mustangs. I myself am a big fan of them as well, but have a soft spot in my heart for the 70-71 Torinos as well.

[Foxtrot X-Ray]

I'll always have a special garage in my heart for my 1973 AMC Javelin.


Of everything I've ever driven, that one fit me the best.





Funny story on that, for many years a good friend of mine swore up and down that the Black on Black was indeed a 1972 AMC Javelin with of course, many body modifications.


He also maintained that the Yellow Pursuit & Intercept cars were '71-'73 Mustangs altered to be 4 door sedans.


(None of us knew anything about Australian cars back then)





Hehehe. The good old days..
