Top 5 Muscle Cars Of All Times
This is my entry to join Darren Rowse’s Top 5 - Group Writing Project.
I’ve chosen to make a list of the top muscle cars for this Project. I’m personally very passionate about muscle cars, and there are many different great makes and models of muscles. But for the sake of this project, we will stick to 5. Each of the following cars have been icons of their times, and to a vast extent, their companies owe their current growth and popularity to these cars. (Click on images to enlarge)
- Pontiac GTO: Known as the “First True Muscle Car”, GTO is a high performance car built by Pontiac from 1964 to 1974. Pontiac general manager Elliot Estes approved the GTO (as an option to the Tempest model) despite violating the GM policy due to its 5.4L V8 engine. It became a great success, and marked the beginning of the muslce cars era. Even today it is loved and considered one of the most famous muscle cars ever.
- Ford Mustang: Probably the most famous of all muscle cars is Ford’s Mustang series. Mustang saw a great deal of success, and inspired a whole new breed of muscle cars, the pony cars. Mustangs have become the dream of every car enthusiast. Many movies, e.g. Gone In 60 Seconds, and computer games have featured this car, adding more to it’s popularity.
- Chevrolet Camaro: Chevrolet’s Camaro has been the number one competitor of Ford Mustang ever since they were built. In fact, Camaro is categorized as a pony car, which means it was initially inspired by the Ford Mustang. Despite its great success in the 60’s and 70’s, Camaro was always beaten by Mustang in terms of sales. Nonetheless it is a wonderful car, and it is back to compete with Ford’s Mustang Shelby GT500. Look out for the new Camaro around the end of 2007 and/or beginning of 2008.
- Dodge Charger: Have you seen The Dukes of Hazard? Yes? Then you have seen a Dodge Charger. A wonderful car indeed! Even though Charger entered the battle of the muscle cars a couple of years later, it left a great impression on the competition.
- Chevrolet Chevelle: Another great muscle car from Chevrolet is the Chevelle. This car was below Camaro in Chevrolet’s product line, therefore was lower in terms of performance. It is still one of the favorite among the muscle fans.
There you have it, the top 5 muscle cars of all times. Of course, there are other cars that I have missed which probably deserve to replace one or more on this list. This is based on my knowledge (which is quite limited) and opinion. The cars 1 to 4 are quite similar from a performance perspective. They were all mounted with V8 engines and were built as high performance vehicles. My personal favorite muscle car is the Ford Mustang, preferrably a 1969 Shelby GT500, followed by a 1969 Camaro SS. I hope you liked.
PS. I hope you also participated in this writing project. It is a great opportunity to network with other bloggers, and with $1001 to be won there shouldn’t be any reason for you not to participate

Hi, Quais
Thanks for stopping by my blog earlier, and for commenting. I guess we’re all guilty of some of those reasons at one time or another. But I tell you what - you can still use any of them you like!
Loved your post. Some sweet cars there, but no Corvette Stingray or Ford GT40???
See ya!

Gerald: GT40 and Corvette Stingray are definitely wonderful cars, but I don’t think they come under the ‘Muslce Car’ banner. They are more like exotic/super cars.
Mjuboy Camaro and Mustang are certainly the best muscle cars ever. For me Mustang comes first thoug.
thanks dropping by guys, thanks to all for linking.
i’ll be spreading the link love pretty soon. i know i’ve a lot to catch up with. cheers.

Quais Said,
October 6, 2007 @ 1:11 pm
Steve, yeah I was thinking of putting the firebird on the list bur I already had 10 good ones. There are a couple of Aussie muscles that I like a lot too and aren’t on listed, like the Monaros and the Falcons.

car #2, the ‘69 Shelby GT500 is NOT a FORD…
it was made by Carl Shelby. Shelby baught patten rights from Ford and customized the mustang creating an entirly different car. thus the car is NOT a FORD and is NOT a Mustang
get it right

the 67 shelby gt 500 is a ford car and if it was nt a ford car then why would they call the it 1967 ford mustang shelby gt 500 plus it was in the movie gone in 60 seconds also the name shelby is the name of the tuning of the car.

I agree with the list but the chevelle has been quicker than the camaro since first built due in part to the LS6 454

The older Gt500 which you see in these pics are made by Shelby. The newer ones like the 2008 is made by ford u twit
