This is a walk down memory lane for me. I was a teenager from 1963-1969, and these were THE dream cars back then. I had the pleasure to own a couple these models. The 1968 GT500 in gold , at LAX, is the same color as ours. We still have the 1966 GT350. My 1969 Mach1 was one of my favorites. The new cars can handle better, stop better, and have more horsepower than these classics, but they don't let you have the same feeling or hear the sound it makes under the hood, as getting behind the wheel of one of these classics.
I'm glad I was born in 1971 because it's the year the most sought-after and most popular bodystyle of the Plymouth Roadrunner came out. The Valiant Charger and Holden Monaro (Aussie Muscle) should've been in this vid.
Although some will disagree, the 'economy musclecar' extended from the 1964 Tempest GTO until the 1972 Plymouth 360 Duster/Demon. These car were all available for under $3500 and most had at least 300 horsepower. When it ended, it marked the beginning of the end of the US auto industry. They're almost all gone, now.
hate tell you this muscle cars lasted from 62-77. the gto is not the first muscle car, but the first wildly recognized one, the 62 impala ss came first, the 77 was the last year for alot of chevy,mopar, and ford body designs. great vid tho man.
HBMAN665420 You said it didn't start until 1962, but don't you remember the Chrysler 300 in the late 50's and the Plymouth fury. Also the reason muscle cars were mad in the 60's is because of all the hot rodding in the 50's. A muscle car is basically a stock hot rod. '57hevy's, '32 Ford Coupes, etc made great hot rods.
GOD i see al those "cargasm" comments, and think they're not funny... But Really, 4 minutes of pure BEAUTY with really well made screen play make that expression gain some sense.
These are simply the greatest legendary and powerful beauties of those years, no matter that they were released in the last century, they were released in an era more expensive than even diamonds, they were released out of time and amaze to this day, that says it all! Muscle cars - the greatest and legendary strength and power! Wrooom wroooom!!!
Thank God they don't! While the powertrains were fun, the rest of the cars were junk by todays standards. I'm not going to attack one brand, they all were bad. My own spent way too much time on the back of a wrecker, and it wasn't from too much flogging, or abuse. I live in the former free state of Michigan. I put my finger through a hole in the front fender when the car was less than 2 years old. The so-called Hurst shifter fell off the transmission. A myriad of electrical problems. How about a distributor gear made out of plastic that disintegrated, and locked the engine 200 miles from home, in the middle of nowhere. Brand new from the dealer on the way home the left headlight bounced up and down so much it was hard to see. When i got home, the first thing I did was pop the hood for my brother in law to see. The 4 bolts to hold the whole headlight assembly were sitting on an inner panel. I guess the slob who was supposed to put them in couldn't be bothered. My brother's muscle car had many issues, especially fit and finish. He had a soft cam lobe, which had to be replaced, just after the warranty ran out.His car was a convertible that would soak the occupants in a drive through carwash. His also had a nasty habit of popping out the glove box if you hit 2nd gear hard. My buddies all had their share of problems too. I didn't mind working on the car, it was fun seeing what you could do with it, but that was totally offset with the amount of time spent just keeping it running. These cars were more of a DIY kit. The big three had a lot to learn about quality.
I might add too, the '73 & '74 models would be hard pressed to be called "muscle cars". The smog controls, and low compression killed the performance, and they were slow.
Musclecars, the most fantastic cars ever!
