MSN's "Top 10 Muscle Cars"

[GrabberOrange69]

MSN readers voted on these - depending on how you define "muscle car", this list may be somewhat off. But entertaining anyhow you cut it, and certainly no clunkers in the bunch; http://editorial.autos.msn.com/slidesho ... T1=22011#1

Great lineup. The order is off a bit but definitely no slouches.

Nice list. Some very cool rides in there. :thu
A friend of mine had a 70 Buick GSX. :steer

At least there wasn't a 'Vette.

You should read what McCahill wrote in 1965 about the Vette vs, the Cobra 427 and the GT 350.....he wasn't very nice toward the Vette.

Even back then they were very over rated.

I'd agree with all of them except the 65 GTO (might get flamed for this). It just doesn't have the muscle look/curves like all other cars on that list. Some say it was the first muscle car but to me its a classic car with a big motor.

Now I'll have to go back and read McCahill's writeup of the 65 GTO to see if he was kind or not. He seemed to favor the Fords though.

I have the GTO issue too.

That was my favorite car on the list, although I do wish it was a '64. That was the first true musclecar.

I feel that a 69 GTO Judge would be better suited for that list, but its all good :thu

Not that beautiful 1970 Judge that is nominated for Toy of the Month??? :roll

Hey that is a pretty silver Judge!

They already have the Buick equivalent to the Judge....

Besides the Chevelle, even though roughly the same body and car as the Judge or Buick is better, IMHO. (Having owned both a 70 El Camino and Chevelle)

Well, you probably wont get flamed here on a Mustang site (but drop that grenade on a Pontiac site..), but most consider the "Goat" as the first. I agree a '69 would have been a more muscular looking car, I personally like the '66-7 best.
