I owned two of these muscle cars, not in the same years as shown but two. I had a 70 GTO with the 400ci engine, with an automatic trans and a 1966 Impala SS with a 396ci engine with a 4-speed trans, and it was a beast. I loved them both.
Bingo! The concept of the True Muscle Car was demonstrated by the GTO. It was taking a large engine out of one of the big, family cars and putting it in an Intermediate two door car. The concept was to make an inexpensive but FAST car. The Roadrunner was the best response to the GTO out of all of the others. It was Spartan and came with vinyl bench seats and no power steering or power brakes unless you ordered them. It is not a credible Muscle Car list without a Roadrunner.
It's right up there, but I always thought that the 1971 and 1972 Plymouth B bodies were the best looking muscle cars. Im prejudiced however; I used to own one.
My Dad Bought a 1969 Cuda 340.. he still owns it.. He bought it for drag racing.. He raced His "Cuda" at New England Drawway.. up in Epping, NH.. It had the perfect weight to horse power ratio.. It's in sweet condition.. can you imagine owing a car for over 50 years.. It's a pleasure every time I get in the car...
I had a Chevelle in my younger days and would love to get another one when I retire. The hemis were faster but they were rattle boxes that ate starters, alternators and water pumps. My Chevelle was fast as hell and super well built.
It’s hard not to smile when you see a classic muscle car. These powerful monsters were created to not only take you from one point to another! Big, heavy, loud and rough - there are all the wonderful
I had the ‘69 Charger R/T and the ‘70 Challenger R/T SE. I bought them new and loved them both. Then I was called by my neighbors for 2 years in the Army in late 1970.
I've had several Trans Ams. 72 455, 73 455, 79 400. They are the best looking muscle cars. The 70 Chevelle LS4 Rocked as did the 73 455SD Trans Am. My Dad went Forgien 1967 and 1969 Jaguar XKEs.
The 1970 Mustang boss 302 is my favorite. I had a 1970 Mustang fastback with a regular 302 engine and when I drag raced it I pulled 14.53 @103 mph in 1/4 mile. It was not stock.
As an original owner of a 1969 Mercury Cougar 428 CJ Ram Air Cobra Jet, this car can put Jaguar V12's to shame ! As the original owner since April, 1969, this car has NO power steering, NO power brakes, and NO air conditioning, which makes it a one of a kind ! Documented by Kevin Marti as a one of a kind Muscle Car !!
@@FOH3663 it was a very limited edition. I'm pretty sure I seen one on velocity TV back in the day. I'd never heard of it either, and I guess they could have been wrong.
The '78 Firebird Trans Am did not come with a 455 w/370+ hp. The last year for the Pontiac 455 was '76, and by then HP was anemic. The '78 TA's had 3 engine options; a 180 HP 400ci, a 220 hp 400 ci, and in California and Olds 403 ci engine with 185 hp.
Wow! Yes, who amongst us doesn't love dreaming about our favorite muscle cars? Heck we dream about a lot of the '60s & '70s cars we drove, built, and enjoyed. I was fortunate to rebuild a '66 GTO with my dad while in H.S., and had friends with some really great cars as well, my favorite a '71 cuda 440 w/pistol grip in violet (that kid was rich). I do wish terms of the day wouldn't have gotten so muddled over the years. I don't know where the "colt car" came from, we knew them as "pony cars", after the initial '65 mustang. Muscle cars were midsize cars with very few options except a big engine and appropriate drivetrain. Over time they all became "muscle cars" because pony just wasn't acceptable for 426 hemis, 440s, 429s, 428s, 427s, 421s etc. An older friend of our family owned a '68 shelby cobra gt500kr, omg what a cool kick ass car that was. At least I got to ride in it a couple times and just being around it was thrilling. If I might pass on what the gentleman owner told me, "this is not a mustang, it is a SHELBY COBRA GT500KR. Period!
The Ford Mustangs were quite a fancy to me, but then the Impala had a smooth body that dazzled me. Even the 70s Camaros lured me...I owned a 77 Camaro ... 350, headers with dual exhaust... yeah!
Let's get all the facts straight people 1969 Camaro ZL1 all-aluminum advertised 450 horse put out more like 550 horse only sixty-nine made. This Camaro and low 11s with drag radials. Factory ordered car. One year
I had 78 Trans Am as well. Bot it new in 78 for $7800, no joke, prob the most memorable car I ever owned. I have a new C8 now, but I loved the TA more. I was 21 at the time, my 1st ever new car! It was the bomb, Blue w blue plush interior. I always regretted selling it, I was married and started a family!
I always favored the pony cars as I started driving in 1970, and my favorite back then was 70' Challenger R/T....followed by a 69' Mustang Boss 429 /Mach1 SCJ and 70' to 74' Trans Am

So true, in muscle car strictly stock shootouts, the 70 Buick GS 455 Stage 1 has fared very well against many of these classic muscle car beasts. It's amazing this performance-proven beast wasn't included.
Some discrepancies in descriptions of some of the cars but still a cool video, I love muscle cars my favorite will always be the Shelby GT500 but a 67 would be my choice. Eleanor.
Excellent cars , no comparison of now a days cars , today's cars are not that attractive and may be not much output , and today every one is running after fuel , and not the built , many thanks for good VDO, GOD BLESS YOU ,
You guys mentioned the Trans Am but neglected to mention the Special Order Formula! I had a 70 Formula 400, it was much Lighter & Faster than the 455 TAs. With Optional Ram Air III 400cid 345hp with a Functional Double Snorkel Ram Air Induction Fiberglass hood, TH400 Auto, limited slip 12 bolt drive line! Slalom Racing Suspension (sway bars front & back) Variable Ratio Steering box in front of the axle for Quicker response! It'd do a 14.1sec 1/4, get deep in & out of corners Quickly stock! Of course mine wasn't stock, it produced about 470hp, B&M Auto & had taller gears runnin' mid to upper 12s in the 1/4! I also had to add ladder bars to keep the 👃 down! It'd run straight as an Arrow but could also make a left at 50mph!
All the cars are beautiful they were fun to watch and see again after so many years since I am now 71 years old but you did say anything about the Torino cobra in 1970
I had a first generation Firebird. I was lured in by the TA earlier in life but was amazed by the lines of the earlier models. Miss mine. Of these it’s Judge,Chevelle,TA all day.
At 1:13 seconds your first mistake.... Most knowledgeable Mustang owners know a Shelby GT500 never came from the factory with Ford's 427. Only the 428 cu in was available for 67 and 68.
I had a 1969 Dodge Super Bee, 383ci, 4 speed, that would do more than the 150mph speedometer. I didn't go that fast, but the person I sold it to said he went over 150mph. I went 135mph, that seemed dangerous enough to me, telephone poles looked like a picket fence.
I lived about 2 miles from the warehouse where some of these cars are housed. I tried to get in to see them and never could. Not open to the public but really would have liked to see them. All beautiful.
In 1978 I bought a 1969 GTO, 400 cubic inch engine off of a friend for $400. Ran like a scared chicken. In 1979 got busted driving 109 mph UPHILL in a 55 mph zone. It's been in the garage since I met my wife in 1980. Hoping to get it back on the road soon and might look into Martin Brothers in Texas to do it.
i like the Boss Mustangs but I'm a Ford guy. I agree with some people on here, you left out the roadrunner and some others that should have been on here. what it comes down to is the best is the one you like the best whether it's on here or not. GM Ford or Chyrslers, if it's your favorite then it's the best.
these cars just make me happy! nice job! i will say thought that i understand the argument that the camaro is a pony car rather than a muscle car....but dude included a 1970 soooo....not including the 1969 was CRIMINAL! but again amazing cars!!
They have changed the definition of "Muscle Car" over the years. To those of us were of age to know what was going on back at that time, a "Muscle Car" was an Intermediate sized car with a large engine taken from one of the large Family cars, such as the GTO, Chevelle, Road Runner and so forth. The Mustang, the Camaro, the Challenger, the Cuda and the rest of the smaller cars were called "Pony Cars" after the trend setting Mustang. Now, some people are calling everything with a big engine a "Muscle Car". I guess they weren't alive when this was actually happening.
GTO, Chevelle, Road Runner were midsize muscle cars and only slightly larger than the Mustang, the Camaro, Challenger, Cuda. Pony car was just a nickname, meant for long hood and short rear deck. A muscle car is defined as a powerful big block engine in a smaller body. You can have a small block muscle car but they need to be putting out some serious HP, like a 340 Cuda, or a BOSS 302 Mustang. 1968 Charger = Length : 208 in 1968 GTO = Length : 200.70 in
@@betsyduane3461 The term "Pony Car" came from the other manufacturers building cars similar to the Mustang, the Mustang being a relatively small horse. Yes, today, a lot of people lump Pony Cars in with Muscle Cars, and some even include the Corvette, which is actually a Sports Car, not a Muscle Car in the original sense. I don't know whether or not you were alive, or if you recall it, but, back in the sixties when people talked about Muscle Cars they were talking about the Intermediate sized cars. Now days, they call any car with a high performance engine from those days a Muscle Car, but that was not what they did back in those days. Here, this is from the time. Note what the Mustang, the Camaro and the Barracuda are called in this article. www.motortrend.com/news/archive-mopar-ford-chevrolet/ Classic Archive: Mopar vs. Ford vs. Chevy Three ragtop ponies from 1967 we'd all love to have The ponycar wars were heating up in 1967; the Plymouth Barracuda and Ford Mustang were each in their second iteration by that time, and Chevrolet finally jumped into the ponycar pool with the Camaro that same year. While the versions in this road-test photograph didn't have Hemis, 428 Cobra Jets, or big-block 396 V-8 engines, they performed well enough--perfect for that old-fashioned Sunday drive. Today, Plymouth and the Barracuda are gone, while the latter will be replaced in spirit by the soon-to-be reborn Dodge Challenger. The Chevrolet Camaro also awaits its renaissance. And the Ford Mustang never left--although that four-cylinder Mustang II of the mid-1970s had us wondering. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muscle_car A relatively lightweight two-door body (opinions vary as to whether high-performance full-size cars, compacts, and pony cars qualify as muscle cars,[10] as it is sometimes claimed that only intermediate cars can be considered muscle cars)[2][4] An affordable price Being designed for straight-line drag racing, while remaining street legal. High-power pony cars are sometimes considered muscle cars, however personal luxury cars are often too expensive to be considered muscle cars.[2] Sports cars and sports sedans are not usually considered muscle cars, since they are generally associated with circuit racing rather than drag racing.[11] Muscle cars are an extension of the hot rodding philosophy of taking a small car and putting a large-displacement engine in it, for the purpose of increased straight-line speed.[11]
All pony cars are muscle cars with the right engine, I know the name pony car comes from the Mustang I owned several. The Corvette is a sports car. Pony car is an American car classification for affordable, compact, highly styled coupés or convertibles with a "sporty" or performance-oriented image. Common characteristics include rear-wheel drive, a long hood, a short decklid, a wide range of options to individualize each car and use of mass-produced parts shared with other models. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pony_car
Wrong! 1976 was actually the last year for a 455 in a Trans Am. It was called the "455 Four--Barrel Performance Package" and came with a 4-speed only. I have a good friend who owns one.
Hi there! Which of these cars you liked the most?
1969 Pontiac G T O Judge, I had one back in the day.

Where’s the Plymouth roadrunner
My father owns a 1973 Plymouth roadrunner l instantly fell in love with it
EXACTLY !!
I made that comment also. The GTX and Roadrunners were the most popular of them all, up there with the HEMI CUDA & Corvettes.
Gross omission to not include the Roadrunner! Aghhhh

It'd do a 14.1sec 1/4, get deep in & out of corners Quickly stock!
Of course mine wasn't stock, it produced about 470hp, B&M Auto & had taller gears runnin' mid to upper 12s in the 1/4! I also had to add ladder bars to keep the 👃 down!
It'd run straight as an Arrow but could also make a left at 50mph!
You left out the Ford Torino and the road runner with the super brid two of the most important with NASCAR and street raceing
Yep. I forgot about the superbird, and the Daytona. Love the wing cars. They are so unique.
@@rustyreese4006 the superbrid is the Daytona I was also talking about the tailgota Torino
But check out the king Cobra that was dropped by Ford
All the cars are beautiful they were fun to watch and see again after so many years since I am now 71 years old but you did say anything about the Torino cobra in 1970
I had a 68 Firebird 400. I raced everyone in Montana, maybe, and always won.
Bill Crowder Look Familiar? 68-400Ragtop
I had a first generation Firebird. I was lured in by the TA earlier in life but was amazed by the lines of the earlier models. Miss mine. Of these it’s Judge,Chevelle,TA all day.
At 1:13 seconds your first mistake.... Most knowledgeable Mustang owners know a Shelby GT500 never came from the factory with Ford's 427. Only the 428 cu in was available for 67 and 68.
3rd mistake, a mustang isn’t even a muscle car, it’s a pony car
How about that 78 cfm Holley?
1st mistake: Only 2, Chevelle and GTO in this list are actual "muscle cars"...
Great video love these cars Merry Christmas
I love the pontiacs but mustang really out did them selves i feel like they out classed cars back then
Yeah
Tee Pom I agree
The 1967 Mustang Shelby GT500. I owned/drove a 1971 Chevelle in high school and college, but was always a Ford guy at heart.
Check your facts, the hemi cuda's top speed is way higher than 117...
I ran my HEMI CUDA at the strip all the time. I exceeded 117 countless times.
I had a 1969 Dodge Super Bee, 383ci, 4 speed, that would do more than the 150mph speedometer. I didn't go that fast, but the person I sold it to said he went over 150mph. I went 135mph, that seemed dangerous enough to me, telephone poles looked like a picket fence.
Depends what rear gear ratio lol
Fish stories
The rear end gears would be the determining factor there.
thnx - very nice vedio
In no particular order: 1) Ford Mustang Boss 302 & Boss 429, 2) Ford Mustang Shelby GT 500KR & GT 350, 3) Camaro Z28, 4) Chevy Impala 409, 5) Chevy SS 454, 6) Plymouth Barracuda Hemi, 7) Pontiac GTO The Judge 400 Ram Air, 8) Pontiac Trans Am, 9) Dodge Charger & Challenger R/T, 10) Mercury Cougar 390? Nah. Two big misses: Plymouth Roadrunner and GTX!
Boss 429 is a joke! Only 375 or so HP Take a look at L79 327 at 375HP!!!!
I love them all!!
This how many times you said wow
👇🏻
👆🏻
Chunky Burrito And this is so many times you didn't
I lived about 2 miles from the warehouse where some of these cars are housed. I tried to get in to see them and never could. Not open to the public but really would have liked to see them. All beautiful.
I liked the 69’ 429 Boss Mustang
Looking for a 1968 Nova S.S.350 4 bolt main with a Muncie M22 Rock Cruise r trans
any kind of mustang, i love all of the cars
Around about 69’ .
American car designers just hit it out the park!!
Where is the Buick gsx and Oldsmobile 442?
455 stage one. And the w30
On blocks in the back yard
In 1978 I bought a 1969 GTO, 400 cubic inch engine off of a friend for $400. Ran like a scared chicken. In 1979 got busted driving 109 mph UPHILL in a 55 mph zone. It's been in the garage since I met my wife in 1980. Hoping to get it back on the road soon and might look into Martin Brothers in Texas to do it.
I always liked the 1969 charger.
I am with You
I’m am with both of you
i am with all three of you
I am with all 4 of you

very good video. You may ad the large block (rare) engine to the Cougar Eliminator :)
i like the Boss Mustangs but I'm a Ford guy. I agree with some people on here, you left out the roadrunner and some others that should have been on here. what it comes down to is the best is the one you like the best whether it's on here or not. GM Ford or Chyrslers, if it's your favorite then it's the best.
these cars just make me happy! nice job! i will say thought that i understand the argument that the camaro is a pony car rather than a muscle car....but dude included a 1970 soooo....not including the 1969 was CRIMINAL! but again amazing cars!!
Damn, she looked hot in the thumbnail. The girl is fine too, I guess
Hey what about my favorite Hurst Olds 442, that car was bad ass!!!!!
They have changed the definition of "Muscle Car" over the years.
To those of us were of age to know what was going on back at that time, a "Muscle Car" was an Intermediate sized car with a large engine taken from one of the large Family cars, such as the GTO, Chevelle, Road Runner and so forth.
The Mustang, the Camaro, the Challenger, the Cuda and the rest of the smaller cars were called "Pony Cars" after the trend setting Mustang.
Now, some people are calling everything with a big engine a "Muscle Car". I guess they weren't alive when this was actually happening.
GTO, Chevelle, Road Runner were midsize muscle cars and only slightly larger than the Mustang, the Camaro, Challenger, Cuda. Pony car was just a nickname, meant for long hood and short rear deck.
A muscle car is defined as a powerful big block engine in a smaller body. You can have a small block muscle car but they need to be putting out some serious HP, like a 340 Cuda, or a BOSS 302 Mustang.
1968 Charger = Length : 208 in
1968 GTO = Length : 200.70 in
@@betsyduane3461 The term "Pony Car" came from the other manufacturers building cars similar to the Mustang, the Mustang being a relatively small horse.
Yes, today, a lot of people lump Pony Cars in with Muscle Cars, and some even include the Corvette, which is actually a Sports Car, not a Muscle Car in the original sense.
I don't know whether or not you were alive, or if you recall it, but, back in the sixties when people talked about Muscle Cars they were talking about the Intermediate sized cars. Now days, they call any car with a high performance engine from those days a Muscle Car, but that was not what they did back in those days.
Here, this is from the time. Note what the Mustang, the Camaro and the Barracuda are called in this article.

Three ragtop ponies from 1967 we'd all love to have
The ponycar wars were heating up in 1967; the Plymouth Barracuda and Ford Mustang were each in their second iteration by that time, and Chevrolet finally jumped into the ponycar pool with the Camaro that same year. While the versions in this road-test photograph didn't have Hemis, 428 Cobra Jets, or big-block 396 V-8 engines, they performed well enough--perfect for that old-fashioned Sunday drive. Today, Plymouth and the Barracuda are gone, while the latter will be replaced in spirit by the soon-to-be reborn Dodge Challenger. The Chevrolet Camaro also awaits its renaissance. And the Ford Mustang never left--although that four-cylinder Mustang II of the mid-1970s had us wondering.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muscle_car
A relatively lightweight two-door body (opinions vary as to whether high-performance full-size cars, compacts, and pony cars qualify as muscle cars,[10] as it is sometimes claimed that only intermediate cars can be considered muscle cars)[2][4]
An affordable price
Being designed for straight-line drag racing, while remaining street legal.
High-power pony cars are sometimes considered muscle cars, however personal luxury cars are often too expensive to be considered muscle cars.[2] Sports cars and sports sedans are not usually considered muscle cars, since they are generally associated with circuit racing rather than drag racing.[11] Muscle cars are an extension of the hot rodding philosophy of taking a small car and putting a large-displacement engine in it, for the purpose of increased straight-line speed.[11]
All pony cars are muscle cars with the right engine, I know the name pony car comes from the Mustang I owned several. The Corvette is a sports car.
Pony car is an American car classification for affordable, compact, highly styled coupés or convertibles with a "sporty" or performance-oriented image. Common characteristics include rear-wheel drive, a long hood, a short decklid, a wide range of options to individualize each car and use of mass-produced parts shared with other models.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pony_car
Pony cars are muscle cars, there is no difference between a 1969 428 Mustang and a 1969 426 Charger except a few inches and some HP.
@@betsyduane3461 You are entitled to your opinion.
1970 Dodge Challenger with 383 ,burnt orange color which I owned for 15 years
Honestly I'm a 69 charger for life dream car tho i love my classic muscle cars the charger will always be my favorite
Nice i like the 69 and 70 chargers but the chargers now look very ugly especially the back that why the challenger is better nowadays

Must have been filmed at RK Motors in Charlotte. All gorgeous cars! I want them all!!! But I’ll keep my 67 corvette : )
Silly... Only 2, Chevelle and GTO in this list are actual "muscle cars"...
Nobody:
Absolutely nobody anywhere:
Top ten classic cars: eHI THERE
Yep... Only 2, Chevelle and GTO in this list are actual "muscle cars"...
Thanks gud for the HemiCuda 1970😻😻😻
75 was the last year for the 455 in a Trans Am. From, 76 to 79 the largest engine offered was the 400 or 6.6. Proof you need better research staff.
Wrong! 1976 was actually the last year for a 455 in a Trans Am. It was called the "455 Four--Barrel Performance Package" and came with a 4-speed only. I have a good friend who owns one.
