So emissions and fuel economy affected cars from 72 on. Got it. What American cars of that era were not duds in comparison to earlier counterparts? Btw, the 73 Grand Am could be had with the same engines as the 73 GTO (only different by front bumper and dash) which was only slightly slower than the muscle car that started it all, the 64 GTO while handling better than any other GTO until the 2003-2006. GNX replica? You mean the Grand National or the Regal T-Type?
Well at least they produced nice sporty body's if you like these cars but like some of the people in the video they changed the engine or went to a speed a speed shop and built what they want just like we still do. the citation was grandmas mussel car
This video is nothing but a hit piece on post 1972 GM cars. What exactly is a GNX replica? A T-Type, any Grand National or any turbo 6 that wasn’t a limited addition GNX? Anyone who knows the history of muscle cars knows the show was over starting in 1971 when GM instituted a compression ratio cap of 8.5:1 on all engines to ensure capability with the coming low and unleaded gasoline. Ford and Chrysler followed suit in 1972. The big 3 + AMC did the best they could during this time with the restrictions they were legally obligated to follow. The Vega was never marketed as a muscle car. It was an import fighter although they did make the Cosworth. Same with the Citation. Automakers were trying to steer people away from muscle cars and into personal luxury coupes during this era because the federal government all but outlawed muscle cars. Although its performance was very lackluster, the 1977 Can Am was the last true muscle car by definition. A mid size car with a full size car engine. It was equipped with the most powerful engine GM offered at the time, the W72 400. By definition the Camaro (and Firebird/Trans Am for that matter) weren’t muscle cars, they were technically pony cars. You seem to pick on Pontiac specifically. If it wasn’t for them keeping the Firebird/Trans Am respectable during these years, we wouldn’t have the modern Camaro, Charger/Challenger and Mustang. Remember Ford introduced the Mustang II in 1974 on a Pinto platform that didn’t even offer a V8 option in 1974.
