My Best Friend totaled his '69 AMX in a drunkin' head on at 45 mph. The fastest vehicle I was ever in was a '68 Dodge Charger 440 Magnum, riding shotgun - pegged the speedometer at 140 + Those were the daze ----- "power shift here we go"
Effectively, AMC died. Chrysler wanted only the Jeep, so killed off AMC. I was lucky enough to own a 1968 AMX and theee Javelins ,- a 1968, a 1970 SST and a 1971. Great cars.
I wonder if you've ever seen the Olds Rocket 88 with the clear plastic hood? GM released a few of these to Olds dealers to show off their fantastic new motor! It's truly a sight to see!!
My 1968 AMX is my favorite car of all I owned over the decades. I had a 1968 Javelin at the same time - quite different from each other. The Javelin was a 232 I6, a nice road car. The shorter two seater AMX was a little beast, even with the small 290 V8. Totally different personalities.
We owned a Rambler station wagon during my teen years in the '60s. My friends called it the "War Wagon" and we had a blast driving around. BTW: It had absolutely NO power.
The 1937 Buick Century? It was the Special body with the larger Roadmaster engine. It could smoke the tires when shifting into second even with the big floor shift. That was the first muscle car! I had a new 64 GTO tripower 4 speed hardtop.
You missed one. The 1955 Studebaker Commander with a 352 ci. V8 Packard with a high-rise manifold, it was on the cover of one of the Hot Rot magazines that year setting the production speed record at 132 mph. So, the 56 Studebaker Golden Hawk wasn't the first.
What was the Green Cover Car? I remember the Midwest State, I lived in, made them put Black Outs in place of the inner headlights, which made the car look even more badass.
In 1957 i went with my dad to buy a new car. I was 7 years old. While he and the salesman were finishing up with the paperwork, i noticed a car in the showroom. It was a 57 Corvette. I ran back to my dad. Dad don't buy that ugly car, get that one! He was buying a 57 Chevrolet. He walked over to see the car that i was making such a fuss about. He looked at the window sticker. He said, 4 thousand dollars!?! There isn't a car in the world worth 4 thousand dollars! And walked back and finished buying the ugly 57 chevy. I was crushed.
If l'm not mistaken wasn't that black and white Studebaker seen on an episode of American Pickers? Quoting the video "for one year the lmpala was a muscle car...." wtf? Every year from at least 1958 until about 1970 lmpalas were offered with Chevy's top engines with 3 or 4 speed manuals and from 62 up an SS package. SS427 and SS396 Impalas weren't plentiful but being the kinda kid that the first thing l would look at was the fender badge showing which engine it had so l would see both. The lmpala was a muscle car years before the Chevelle
A good presentation, but I wish you'd give that robot voice a bit of training. @4:27, what is an "SRT Hellcat Reed eye"? And most humans don't say "Cee Eye" (c.i.) after displacement figures. BTW, Dodge built the Polara, not the Polaris. "Porsche nine hundred and eleven models." Hmmm.
I agree. This thing about presenters using AI to narrate their videos is out of hand. There were several more, and they all just plain sounded wrong. The only way I can think of to describe it is that we're fast approaching a point in human evolution where we're getting too lazy to even speak.
You forgot the 308 cid Hudson Hornet winners of NASCAR in 52-54, of course it ran circles around the 88 Olds but then again it was just a 6 cylinder. Not a V8!
You show under hood shots of a Golden Hawk with a late model LS swapped in to it, Then a Rebel under hood shot with the 6 cylinder rather then the 327 AMC V8, You heavily featured a Comet, Not the Cyclone, you did show a Red Cyclone. The Aqua one was not a Cyclone. Javelin was introduced as a 1968, You said it was in response to the Mustang, Camaro and Dodge Challenger, The Challenger was introduced for the 1970 model year. Then the Monte Carlo you showed the engine also has a late model LS swapped in. Not a 350 or 454. I post this because it is important that the correct info and visuals are used, for the future. If a few years somebody may use this as reference for buying, restoring or writing a story. Incorrect facts are just not a good thing. Otherwise what I noted is a well produced video.
Chevy sold one of the 63 Z11 Impalas to Junior Johnson, who took it to Daytona. He was allowed to compete in one race only and then told Chevy would have to homologate the motor by selling 500 examples for the street. Chevy declined and GM banned all factory racing participation, and Chevy would not be back to NASCAR for decades. I like the stories- I just wish you had better film clips. A 56 Studebaker with a Chevy LS motor? A Rambler Rebel 327 but the motor is a straight 6? Sorry- you need to work harder on your videos. Also- the "Dodge Dart Polaris"- that Polara, and the 440 name did not indicate the engine size. The 440 motor did not come out until 1965.
I remember my father was looking for a new car i almost had him convinced to by a 1970 Mark Donahue javelin 401 cubic inches and a 4 speed 😊! He ended up buying a used 318 cubic inch satellite Sebring 😢!!
Where did you get those performance stats? 17:03 No car at the time could get close to 5 sec. 0-60 time w/ DOT street tires & no car in the world at that time did anywhere close to a 12.5 sec. quarter mile off the dealer floor. "Road & Track", "Motor Trend" & "Hot Rod" magazines would've been singing the praises of the '68 AMX if it could go that quick. You guys got some explaining too do. There was nothing that quick in '68. Pony up American Legends.
Who is the granny driving the Z11??? Like where did he learn how to shift? It actually really hurt me to watch him go down the quarter mile!!! w to shift??? Pretty sad for sure bro
No AMX came with a 340 horsepower motor, only 315 (68-69) and 325 (70) horsepower motors, the 1970 "Machine" was the only car that came with a 340 horse 390 motor...
If you’re going to go to the trouble of making an instructional video, at least take the time to get your facts in line. It’s Dodge POLARA NOT POLARIS.
Good video - except: the AI narration is mechanical, false-sounding, and horrific! Please use a REAL person next time! And... the Porsche 911 came out in 1963, but it was an evolution of the 356!Dr. Porsche made rear-engined air-cooled cars ever since Hitler ordered him to stop fooling around with race cars and build a 'car for the people,' aka, 'the people's car,' or Volkswagen!
The weird distortion happening in the video is too much for me, sorry. Love all these cars, I just do like tricks to my eyes. I feel the same way about magicians.
I always admired the 1970 Monte Carlo. There are cars that just look right and I think 1970 Monte Carlo is one of them.

American Motors didn't "go defunct" it was merged into Chrysler so Chrysler could get Jeep. (1988) AMC became "Eagle."
Great job otherwise!!
Thanks!!
Bought by mopar I believe. No merge.
Eagle was an attempt to launch a new brand name. Mostly Renault stuff so not really AMC.
Effectively, AMC died. Chrysler wanted only the Jeep, so killed off AMC. I was lucky enough to own a 1968 AMX and theee Javelins ,- a 1968, a 1970 SST and a 1971. Great cars.
I can't stop watching your videos man, please keep posting ♥️♥️♥️🔥
Great video with info , stats and production numbers
I wonder if you've ever seen the Olds Rocket 88 with the clear plastic hood? GM released a few of these to Olds dealers to show off their fantastic new motor! It's truly a sight to see!!
YES! I've always been a fan of the original Chrysler 300. AND the Studebaker Hawk.
Loved the AMX (Javelin). Also, the Firebird was one of my favorite late-60s muscle cars.
My 1968 AMX is my favorite car of all I owned over the decades. I had a 1968 Javelin at the same time - quite different from each other. The Javelin was a 232 I6, a nice road car. The shorter two seater AMX was a little beast, even with the small 290 V8. Totally different personalities.

36 Cadillac 35-70 made 135hp that’s 35 more then the 37 Buick
I remember the Mercury Cyclone being the Indy 500 Pace Car in 1966.
8:55
The Cyclones were built on the lengthened wheelbase FALCON not Fairlane, which is a significantly different chassis.
I want that Monte Carlo
Surprised you didn't mention the available supercharger on the Golden Hawks.
You are correct ✅ Chrysler has even come out with a Hornet 🐝
Great video. Thanks for clarifying who really came out with the first muscle car.
Glad it was helpful!
Most ppl already knew
The '64 GTO still seems to hold that recognition with a lot of people. Especially the GM types.@@mikeholland1031
If a muscle car is a full size engine in a smaller model, then the '32 Essex Terraplane fits the bill.
You missed one. The 1955 Studebaker Commander with a 352 ci. V8 Packard with a high-rise manifold, it was on the cover of one of the Hot Rot magazines that year setting the production speed record at 132 mph. So, the 56 Studebaker Golden Hawk wasn't the first.
rhe 49 olds secret was the 4 soeed auromatic, it would litteraly jump across the intersection, guys were swapping the trans into everything

I'm pretty sure it's a 1963 Pontiac Grand Prix. The grill lights are turn signal/parking lights.

Fun fact: the first recorded rock song with distortion was about the Rocket 88
Boozin and cruisin along. The song was not only about my rocket 88, but drinking and driving as well. It was a different time.
You need to look at the Studebaker Avanti--V8 Supercharged fastest production car for years ---see Coffee Walk
Studabaker Golden Hawk, was that a Serpentine Belt, under the Hood?
I noticed that too.
Improve your research ~
Your Corvair info is way off!!!
Speed only❤😊
What about the 61 Impala SS 409? Much better looking than the 64.
If l'm not mistaken wasn't that black and white Studebaker seen on an episode of American Pickers? Quoting the video "for one year the lmpala was a muscle car...." wtf?

Pretty sure the first engine picture for the Monte Carlo was a modern LS
100% LS! It goes with the AI generated narration!
Ford also had Lightweight Drag cars in 63.
A good presentation, but I wish you'd give that robot voice a bit of training. @4:27, what is an "SRT Hellcat Reed eye"? And most humans don't say "Cee Eye" (c.i.) after displacement figures. BTW, Dodge built the Polara, not the Polaris. "Porsche nine hundred and eleven models." Hmmm.

Well said. I caught that stuff too. Why not present factual content instead of misleading content?
Laziness maybe?
Why doesn't anyone talk about the 1969 Plymouth Barracuda "M-Code" ?
I can handle any car
Studebaker Paxton blown Super Hawks and Super Larks would qualify
Nobody connects the 2005 Chrysler 300 to the original letter cars because the "relaunch" wasn't worthy of the model name.
Chevy sold one of the 63 Z11 Impalas to Junior Johnson, who took it to Daytona. He was allowed to compete in one race only and then told Chevy would have to homologate the motor by selling 500 examples for the street. Chevy declined and GM banned all factory racing participation, and Chevy would not be back to NASCAR for decades.

Also- the "Dodge Dart Polaris"- that Polara, and the 440 name did not indicate the engine size. The 440 motor did not come out until 1965.
Salut my friend super car super video subscribe subscribe.
Is this an AI voice? Polaris instead of Polara?
I remember my father was looking for a new car i almost had him convinced to by a 1970 Mark Donahue javelin 401 cubic inches and a 4 speed 😊! He ended up buying a used 318 cubic inch satellite Sebring 😢!!
They need to reprogram this failed AI TTS voice. Dodge "Polaris"? Come on. 😒
5 min. Wasn't 1958 the first year the Chevrolet Impala came out? Although model year and year of manufacture sometimes differ a little.
You are correct
1963 chevy with 409
Corvair's second generation didn't have swing axels. Do some research before you produce an "education" video
Not a muscle car anyway regardless of engine.
Didn’t the Chrysler 300 M come out as a 1999 model?
yes it is, but in the video I've mentioned the Chrysler c-300
They re use names

1950 hudson hornet
Polar, not Polaris. Polaris is a snowmobile and 4 wheeler manufacturer
Polara
The Studebaker doesn't have a Studebaker drive train.
Stop with the assumptions that a picture of a car is sufficient.
👍🇮🇹🤠🏁
Is this AI?
It's Polara not Polaris
why would you show a nice Studebaker golden hawk with a junk ass l S chevy engine in it!

If you’re going to go to the trouble of making an instructional video, at least take the time to get your facts in line. It’s Dodge POLARA NOT POLARIS.
Only 3 cars could be considered muscle cars. The rest were nothing but grandpa cars the corsair n. The Studebaker were a joke.
Sadly, the 1986 version of the Grand Prix 2+2 may very well be the ugliest American muscle car in existence.
