This was great. Thanks. Some neighbors of ours when I was a kid in the early seventies had one of those red, white, and blue 1970 AMC Rebel Machines, and next door to them was a '69 Dodge Charger. People today imagine that muscle cars were everywhere back then. That wasn't exactly true; family sedans and practical coupes dominated, but I guess you did see muscle cars more than you would in later years. By the mid-seventies, they had been eclipsed by luxury-trim models with landau roofs, opera windows, padded vinyl trim, and lots of velour.
I think that at some point people started considering even the most basic versions of these cars as Muscle Cars, even if they didn't come with any muscle. Perhaps this was due to the look, or perhaps because anybody and everybody could hot rod one.
Another great one that brings back a lot of memories of my youth. I remember the great debates in the high school lunch room and parties over which brand made the most badass muscle car. Glad you included AMC’s short list of entries, too! 👍👍👍
grade school we take 1/4 mile times hp ,what one we would buy ,one kid said rambler sc and pretend that our scwhinn stingrays where muscle cars or latter they where ford broncos during the 70s bmx craze
Thank you for the video. I know I am late to watch this video. This was as interesting as part I. The mid 1970's Charger was a Chrysler Cordoba. I like the fact you threw the export market information in the video.
A lot of people say the Charger became a Cordoba in 75, but I would say it is more accurate to say the Cordoba was a better equiped Charger. I mean it was really just a styling update as far as the Charger was considered, but the Cordoba was a replacement for the Plymouth Sebring, becoming a Chrysler late in its development.

Seems most of it was the Ford and Chevy guys, but I sure liked the Oldsmobiles.
