My dream car. The AMC AMX or 67 Marlin. Either love em or hate them. I ❤️ em!
Forever loyal to the 67 or 72 Javelin, the Fat Fish is not for me.
I will always love the AMX
If you dig these cars but want that raw feeling of the 1960s muscle cars, there's always desmogging to unlock the actual potential of the V8s.
Well there s also compression but honestly who cares unless you race
I had 64 Comet with factory 289 hi po and factory rev kit.....Ran like a Chevrolet...
My Dad purchased a new whte laguna s3 454 in 1974. I loved the swivel out front seats😊
I love channels like this !! It gives me more incentive finish up me two collectors !
I have a 66 Chevelle with a 454 turbo 400 trans,and all original 70 Monte Carlo.
I have a 71 Monte Carlo with the 454 in it my dad owned it for 25 years he always told me I had a special car on my hands but I never new wat he meant until his passing 3 years ago now I no me and my son are on the way to restore it the way my father wanted the motor has been balanced and blue printed it is completely done sitting in plastic me and my son are working on the body ourselves I'm not to bad wit body work I'm going to send it off to have the interior done and wen it is finished I'm going to give it to my son wen he graduates high school since he has a hand in everything that has been done to it or going to b done I think my father would want it that way r.i.p pops
Respect 🫡
Interior is easier than body work but good on you. Is it an SS? Video doesn't say so but you could get a 454 MC without buying the SS stuff.
No it's not an ss I really wished it was but no I told my son that is his graduation present he started to get tears in his eyes which made me tear up I no in my heart he is going to love and respect this machine cause he no the power it has and that it is a rolling 2 ton beast but other than that it belonged to his grandfather then me now to him I feel great giving it to him but other than that I'm really proud of him for graduating I didn't graduate that's why I'm happy to give it to him for graduating.
There was also the Dodge Aspen R/T. The AMC Hornet AMX. The Ford 302 Maverick Grabber. The Pontiac Can Am. And more...
The R/T's sibling Super Coupe.
I was lucky to have a front row seat in the building of the 70’s GM muscle cars as I worked at the now closed GM plant in Fremont Ca.I started working there in 1967 until they closed in 1982.During that time we built the GTOs, 442s among others.GTOs were my favorite.When I volunteered for O.T. I was sent to the shipping area where I got to drive cars ready for shipping which was a lot of fun.
My best friends Dad bought the Laguna 3, with the white/red paint scheme, and the 454! That unit had some guts!!
I have a 75 Monte Carlo with a factory 454. It's called a Towing Package and not a SS. Just a technicality
Doesn’t matter. It still wasn’t a muscle car by 1975. The lower compression reduced the horsepower to below the power to weight ratio.
YOU FORGOT the 1977 Pontiac Can Am . . . . . The big three's legitimate last gasp "muscle car". Yes, it was all "smogged up" but, it was a one year only big engine performance car.
None of these are forgotten, but thank you
Great! Actually learned about some models i did not know. Usually these kind off vids are kicking in doors that already where open but not this one. Good job!!!
I have to agree with others who are posting about the omission of the 1977 Pontiac Can Am. It had the same engine (400 CID) as a Trans Am and was, in my opinion, the last GTO.
They aren't "Forgotten"anymore, the mid-late 70's Muscle cars are BY far the most popular build since the CONVID "Outbreak", atleast out here in the Southwest/West. it all started out with people wanting something cheap and easy to tinker around with while they were stuck at home and the cars grew on them, 75% of my car club now has a car/project from 73-79 of one of the big 4 (AMC Included) and loving them. We even have clubs solely dedicated to the Smog/Malaise Era cars. They are cheap to buy, more often than not still running or so close that it takes a couple hours of fooling around with them to get them to start, the parts are still widely available and they have aged out of the smog regulations everywhere but Commiefornia so you can give them the power they SHOULD have had to begin with.
A great list of cars I used to laugh at cuz of body changes and lack of HP but cars that are now icons and would love to have
They were also incredibly heavy and any mid-sized muscle car with a small block would leave them standing at the light.
The title was "forgotten" muscle cars not fastest not the best. This list is spot in for the title.
Man, 2nd gen muscle cars are hated because of being less RAW, but I appreciate them for having more FINESSE.
Hey posh I can agree 👍 with your comments about 2nd generation muscle cars not depending on raw power as much as the originals but by mid 70's and early 80's turbo assisted motors of all sizes were again putting out big horse power numbers 😊😅😮😢😂❤😂😊❤😊❤😊❤😊
Yeah the late 60's and early 70's found the big 3 in Detroit starting to worry more about government regulations than than what their customer bases wanted which was the beginning of the overly high priced " power packages that most car buyers couldn't afford unless they went deeper in debt than most of car buyers walked away from cause of loan rates , insurance costs and rising gas prices 😊😅😮😢😂❤😂😊❤😊❤😊
Great picks
Great video, love those cars though, just too wrong to ignore.
Great vid!!! 👍👍
Great video.
Why did you leave out the Pontiac can am it was one year only , it's estimated that 1000 to 1500 were only made. I don't remember the year , but I think it was in 1974 or 75 they were all white with multi color stripes and a trans am styled hood scope and a duck bill type spoiler , and a 400 C.I. engine back with a three speed automatic all the can am's had red interiors with swivel buck seats as a option. If I remember the seats correctly.
Have a nice day!!!!!
I have seen one and drove it at at 15 when it was almost 20 years old.
1977
70 Chevy Monte Carlo Super Clean :)
Ford guy here, but that silver job is stunningly beautiful.
I had a Laguna S-3 in High School. That car was freaking awesome.
Avanti
Although it's best known today for its distinctive styling, back in the fall of 1962 Studebaker advertised its Avanti as “The World's Fastest Production Car.” They backed up the claim with 29 new American national stock car records from the Bonneville Salt Flats, including the flying mile at 168.15 mph and 10 miles at ...
Then along came Cobra.
@@Johnnycdrums A TRUE DEATH RIDE !
I had no idea the rarity of the GMC Sprint 454 I guess I should feel fortunate to have a neighbor that lets us boys borrow the car for street cruising and dates. We’d pack all four of us into the car. The car was truly stunning to look at and ran like a scalded dog.
You missed the 1978 Plymouth Volare Street Kit Car, one of which I owned. They slapped the learn burn ignition on a race engine. But let it be known ...... 360 E58 package, black valve cover NASCAR spec engine, 9 inch rear end from a truck, oversized torsion bars, window retainer tabs, NASCAR wheels. With a 1000 cfm Carter and a 1968 dual point distributor, 10.63 in the quarter. I wound up chaining the engine to the frame because of the torque twist. I actually tore the roof on mine launching it at the track. How they got that thing past the EPA is beyond me.
How many of those were built?
Sounds like a homologation thing to me.
@@Johnnycdrums Richard Petty factory tribute car. 43, 360 cu in decals came with the cars. 350 Volare, 350 Aspen. Mods done by Dick Chrysler: Direct Connection parts, wheel opening cut, flares attached, NASCAR steel wheels, dump truck rear end and sway bar, 1.75 inch torsion bars in front. Direct Connection rear adjustable spoiler, front spoiler. NO ACCESSORIES other than power steering and I ran it with a manual box. Two flavors or engines, blue and black valve covers only outward difference. Black covers had high deck intake, iron headers, Direct Connection cam and pistons, 4 bolt main.
I didn't see the 65 Olds 442, My first car when I was 17. 400 c.i. 345 hp, posi-trac, Hurst 4 spd, the tach was mounted on the console. I'm 70 now, what a car, it was a ragtop-15 inch wire wheels!
CarbaReader...... LOL. All these cars are sweet, I've had a few GM's.
I had (purchased new) a '74 Chevelle Laguna S3, 454, auto. Nice car, but by '74 the 454 was a boat anchor. The swing out bucket seats were nice though.
that laguna laying rubber in the middle of an intersection not something u c every day -anymore . the early 70s montes could multi task as i think u could rent out the space between grill and fan -shroud it was like a garbage can on its side !
The Dodge and Plymouth A bodies deserve some credit here. 340 and later 360 cars were fairly light weight. In 76, the Dart Sport with the 360 was 1 of the fastest American cars 1 could buy even though it was hampered by a 3.21 rear ratio and mandatory automatic.
74’ Pontiac 455’ SD was the fastest those years.
The Judge was Pontiac’s answer to the road runner.
What is the land speed record for the 1963 Studebaker Avanti?
As for Ron Hall, he and his team have taken a Studebaker powered car to a new land speed record. It is enough, for now. But there is always next year - and, who knows what the future holds? On September 22, a 1963 Studebaker Avanti set a new world speed record with a two-way average of 195.640 MPH at the U.S.F.R.A.
Initially the Judge was a response to the Roadrunner, Plymouth’s stripped down no option muscle car. But by the Judge’s release, it became the top of the line GTO. I have to agree with the video saying the T-37 was Pontiac’s actual response to the Roadrunner. It was a lot more comparable. Kinda like comparing the Firebird Formula to the Trans Am. You got the go fast goodies without all the flash. Which is exactly what a Roadrunner was.
Really? A limited production, high option car with a big price tag? No.
There were a few three speed manual Judges but not many. Most were pretty fancy even without trim rings on the wheels.
If anything the road runner in 68 was in response to the original GTO in 64. Remember, Pontiac created this market.
@@Project_Low_Expectations WRONG ONCE AGAIN ..... Rocket 88
Origins of the Muscle Car
The first American muscle car was introduced in 1949, with Oldsmobile offering the Rocket 88. This muscle car featured a high-compression overhead valve V8 303 ci -135 hp engine and a lightweight body from Oldsmobile 76.
rakkye 350 was an appearance package
The car consisted of option package W-45, which included blackwall tires, a W-25 fiberglass hood, the L74 350 V-8 engine, N34 Custom Sport steering wheel, D35 sport mirrors, FE2 Rallye suspension, N10 dual exhaust and W35 rear deck air spoiler. All of these items would have been included on a true Rallye 350.
@@justme307 like i stated an appearance package,the spoiler would not be included.
@@johndillinger8482 FE2 Rallye suspension and N10 dual exhaust are considered performance options. Spoiler is included according to Hemmings review of the Rallye 350.
@@justme307 hemmings is a joke
@@johndillinger8482 I suppose a 1969 Trans Am is just an appearance package since one could order a Firebird with a RAIII or RAIV engine and suspension package, leaving the TA option as just a paint and spoiler package. And a 1969 Mach 1 is an appearance package since one could option a sportsroof model with a 428 CJ and suspension upgrade leaving the Mach 1 as just a paint and spoiler package. It's great that the Internet is full of armchair experts that know more than professional organizations that hire folks and pay them good money because of their knowledge. Good riddance Johndillinger.
I had a 76 Volare it was fabulous
The AMX was first. The Javelin was a lengthened AMX. Most people get that wrong, as in this video.
The '70 Monte Carlo SS was NOT the first Chevy to compete in NASCAR as the video suggests and the LS6 as well as the 4-speed were available in the 1970 MC.
A 1973 Chevelle SS might be more uncommon than a Laguna S-3.
The '74 GTO (Ventura) should not be mentioned as it was a Nova with a 350.
That's like saying a 1968 GTO is just a Chevelle with a 400.
Bought a 70 spoiler for 900 $ 429 cj
Calypso orange sight unseen out of Miami in 91
I had a 70 fairlane it was awesome nobody knew what it was and so many people didn't believe the fairlane emblems were factory 😂
Had a 4 speed bench seat post car in early 80,s, still miss the car 2:44 2:45 2:49
Thank u
The monte carlo you talked about junior johnson built the car. Charlie glotzbach drove it. And it didn't have the 454. The rules only allowed the 427 to be used
8:00 The Ventura GTO shared bodies not only with the Nova, but the Buick Apallo and the Olds Omega.
Owned 7 2 seater390 amx cars
I like this content pd evolution keep making this video 😀👍
I had the 76 laguna S-3 in high school, blue with white stripes wish I had put it in storage
Gm badge engineering at its finest
Who are these people who forgot these cars? I didn't forget a single one of them.
The Monte Carlo was the best of the lot I have always considered it one of the best looking cars Detroit ever designed. When equipped with the 454 is was a monster and you rarely ever see one and really never did.
1973 chevelle SS my favorite,,, 1971 SS monte carlo 2nd favorite
Hi what about the Pontiac Grand Am 70-78 ?
Did the Laguna have the spin bucket seats?
Yes
Monte Carlos did so why not?
Mr. B. Here ! ☕️☕️🍩🍩👀😎👍. Being a old guy , who work in the automotive industry how lucky I was to drive many of these vehicles ! 🚗🇺🇸🚗🇺🇸👀😎👍
Did you ever get to drive a 1975 Plymouth Road Runner??
@@TheSpritz0 Mr. B. Here ! Yes , two times at the Automotive Auction in MA, & this will kill you , Hell Cat & Cuda Stick both were loaded ! That job was being in the candy store for a car guy ! Love it . 🚗🚗🚗🚗😎👀👍. 🏈🏈🍺🍺
The Mercury Cyclone is my favorite car of all time.
Had the coolest dash of all time
Volare Road Runner was an obscenity!
Other than the Amx and roadrunner, those other cars defeat the original spirit of a muscle car. Midsized 2 door coupe with a big V8. Those cars were mostly big heavy comfortable luxury models with performance options. They were were not forgotten, just never considered as muscle cars.
Wot ! What you brung❤
Everybody says the AMX is a direct competitor to the Corvette because it too doesn't have a back seat. I cringe for Corvette owners who happen to own an actual sports car. It's like a Nova minus a back seat is suddenly a sports car and competitor to Corvette. Some things are just wrong.
Wrong the new body model of the 72 Monte Carlo had the 454 in it with longer body, Cruze, power window and new swivel bucket seats, I know, cuz it was my 1st car in 1978.
1972 was about the last year of Classic muscle cars. Horsepower was seriously lacking after 1972.
The Monte was the first Chevy used in Nascar? You're kidding me, right?
Anyone who has ever driven a Ford 429 equipped car knows that the 375 horsepower rating is well below it's true output.
Mercury Cyclone?
Not in our Country
👍
None of these are muscle cars. They don’t meet the weight to horsepower criteria. Pony cars such as Mustangs, Firebirds, Camaros, ‘Cudas, Challengers, Cougars, AMXs were a different class altogether and didn’t meet the criteria either. Claiming these cars were muscle cars doesn’t make it true.
Left out the grand am.
Shame that the muscle era ever had to come to an end!
From someone who grew up in the muscle car era, the Olds 350 Rallye was not considered a muscle car. That spot was held by the Olds Cutlass 442. The 350 Rally was considered the poor guy's car.
And I suppose a Road Runner was not a muscle car because it was just a cheaper GTX.
these cars arent forgoitten
the yellow oldsmobile rallye 350 was the perfect scam ... it was a REGULAR cutlass painted yellow, that they charged more money on !! ... (yawn)
And I suppose the Judge and GT-37 were scams as they were just GTOs.
YES !! ... Ive been saying that for DECADES !! ... I'm glad you agree with me
We had a 76 Laguna when I was a kid. It was stolen and nobody cared. They did us a favor. Every car on this list was forgotten for a reason. They were all ugly as hell. I don't care how rare they are today and how much horsepower they have. EVERY car on this list is a clown car!!! Then and now
Thumbnail is FAR FROM A MUSCLE CAR
