                        What are your top five picks for muscle cars? (i.e. hot rods/50s-70s era)

                        1. 1968 Dodge Charger 440 R/T
                        2. 1969 Plymouth Roadrunner
                        3. 1970 Mustang Boss 429
                        4. 1963 1/2 Ford Falcon Futura Sprint
                        5. 1969 Ford Galaxie 500 (not a muscle car, but what a highway car!!)

                        Prost!

                        Oh...top five muscle cars....

                        Only five??? I am not sure I can put them in any order here....but here are five that top my list....

                        69 GTO Judge
                        65 Buick Riviera GTS (style unsurpassed)
                        70 Chevelle SS
                        69 Hurst Olds 442
                        70 Pontiac TransAm

                        What can I say...I'm a GM kinda guy...

                        Really though...These are the originals...Hot Rods from the 50's, not original...40 Merc Lead Sleds...Don't get me wrong...I love original cars...they just aren't for me...

                        Cars...Five just isn't enough...lol...but Muscle Cars...those five would have to be some of my favorites....

                        I'll throw a few in the hat, but my choices are probably based on 'looks' than performance:

                        - 70 Buick GSX
                        - 68 Camaro RS/SS (with hideaway headlights)
                        - 70 Chevelle 454
                        - 68 GTO
                        - 70 Boss 429 Mustang

                        M.

                        In no particular order...

                        1971 Mustang Mach 1 Boss 429
                        1971 Buick GSX Stage 1
                        1975 Pontiac Trans Am SD455
                        1969 Chev Camaro ZL-1 C.O.P.O.
                        1969 Plymouth Hemi Road Runner

                        I had a 72 Mach 1 with a 351 Cobra Jet and a 4-speed. I got about 9 miles to the gallon...on a good day!!! The crazy thing is, I'd buy another one in a heartbeat.

                        Retired and living the dream!

                        I own a 65 Olds 442 conv and its NOT in the top 5, but :
                        1970 Chevelle LS-6
                        1970 Buick GSX
                        1965 Shelby AC Cobra
                        1969 Hemi Road Runner
                        1965 Plymouth Fury w/Max wedge 426
                        this should start a few discussions with motor heads

                        No, in my humble opinion, they are not. A musclecar must be American iron. Medium size, big v-8. But that's just my opinion. Anyone else??

                        J-Hulk, I also owned a brand new '70 340 Duster in "TOR-RED", it was fast but nothing compared to the cars mentioned here.
