My Top 15 List (continued)

My Top 15 List of Muscle Cars…. Continued (click)

In this post I am going to elaborate a little more on each car whether it be motor, fun facts, specs, etc.  As I said in the previous post the list is in no specific order, basically because I love them all!

1. 68 AMC Javelin AMX with a 390 ci motor. The Javelin was a rather slow muscle car because of its transmission. So for me personally I would swap the transmission, which is a three speed, with a four speed.

2. 71 Buick Skylark GSX with a 455 ci motor. The GSX package for the GS455 cost $1100. Skylarks are a popular car my cousin has a Skylark, but he put a big block Chevrolet 509 in it.

3. 68 Chevrolet Nova SS with a 396 ci. 68 was the first year that the SS performance package was available as a performance package on the Nova. Which resulted in a 375 hp car with a four speed transmission that could run the quarter mile in the thirteen’s.

4. 70 Chevrolet Chevelle SS 454 The 454 engine also had an option which was the 450 hp LS6 motor vs the base 360 hp 454.

5. 69 Chevrolet Corvette ZLI 427. In 69 Chevrolet rated the 427 at 430hp, but when dynoed today they produce upwards of 500+ hp.

6. 69 Chevrolet Camaro 427. This Camaro has the same 427 engine block in it that the ZL1 Corvette has which means it has a very high performance potential.

7. 69 Dodge Dart 440 Six Pack. Ive always wanted a Dodge Dart since I was a kid I even have a picture over my bed.

8. 69 Dodge Charger Daytona 426 HEMI. The 426 hemi motor is one of my favorites because the motor was originally produced by Chrysler for NASCAR racing. They were forced to put the motor in their street cars to comply with NASCAR’s rules.

9. 70 Pontiac GTO Judge 455. This car had an impressive compared to todays standards 6.6 0 to 60mph time.

10. 70 Plymouth Barracuda 440 Six Pack. This car is one of the best looking cars in my opinion very mean muscle car look and it can bite because its 440 makes 330 hp.

11. 69 Plymout Roadrunner 440 Six Pack. Was named motor trends car of the year for 1969. In 69 there were two main performance engine packages the 426 hemi and the 440 six pack which actually ran about the same in the quarter mile.

12. 68 Dodge Super Bee. Was basically Dodges version of the Roadrunner.

13. F ord Mustang BOSS 429. This is one of the most rare mustangs. The 429 ci engine Ford produced was a beast in the muscle car world making 600hp a possible number.

14. 68 Ford Shelby GT 500KR 428. The KR in the name of this iconic car actually stand for King of the Road.

15. 71 Dodge Challenger RT 426. Is the last year they were called R/T 1972 and on they were called rallye.
