dude those are badass cars no doubt.. but one of my favorites is the 70 amx 390..most enthusiasts of the american muscle car era never include these great beasts. amc had muscle cars from the 50's to 1974.. great video dude...
@rofyle That's super false. Corvettes, Camaros, and Mustangs are all muscle cars. Hell, the Mustang was the first car to create the term "Pony Car". Get your info straight buddy.
At least you're not one of those fan boys that doesn't realize that every car maker had good muscle cars. My personal favorite is the 1970 Charger R/T Hemi but I also love the old Mustangs, Camaros, Gran Torinos, etc. I don't let the whole "fanboy" thing get in the way of me enjoying all of the American muscle cars.
dodge challenger should be number 1 everyone always put chargers but challenger is best even now a days look at the charger srt8 looks like a egg to me in the back the charger is sticking old school
Great vid!!!!!!!! love the part were it says dream car and then the 1970 cuda come up. u definatley know your cars and i agree cuda is definately a amazing car to own
@DONDIVA69 The CJ was a torque motor, motortrend said it had a "lethargic" way about, the Hemi was a low and brute and a High end powerhouse-couldnt be touched
Fastest car the time, 1969 Dodge Daytona 426 "Race Hemi"...... Top speed, 245 mph, with stock street Hemi, 205 mph top speed. And the 69 Charger should top the list, my car has yet to be beat by any car ive raced "knock on wood" 528 Six Pack, Tremec 6 spd, Dana 60, 3.75 cogs. Hoping to scrounge up the money to pit the all aluminum 426 Hemi in soon. Beast
@greendayrules11 If you go by speed the 427 duel carb Cobra is #1. And you could get one straight from the factory in those days. I watched this and didn't see the Ford Torino at #1. Did I miss it?
Is it just me, or does no one seem to accredit the early muscle cars? I mean, were it not for the big bodied cars from the mid 50's to the early 60's there might not have been a huge future for the late 60's and early 70's. The early cars had big power too. Ford had the 427 for a fair time, about the same time Chevy did too. Z11 Impalas, Thunderbolt Fairlanes, These were the original dealer sold race cars.
mustangs,vettes, camaros, are tampns. the only good year for camaro was 67-69 and vettes are overrated overpriced, and mustangs are just ugly and overrated. and im sure the video is called muscle cars. you showed a 1980-1990 mustang followed by what looked like a 2003 mustang. muscle not flab!
The 429SCJ was one of the stongest engines available, stonger than the W-30, Stage1, Ram Air IV and 440-6 Pack. Actually it was a strong in street rim as the 426 Hemi. But the Torino Cobra was so heavy at 4300 lbs it kind of defeated the purpose.
I'm so glad there are hardly any negative comments here! I usually don't even look at the Fords or Chevys (MOPAR or no car), but I love all these great old cars. Your opinion is your opinion, I would have a different list but I love yours! Thanks for the great pictures!
@xMASTERxTIMMYx what do you have. shut up idiot. my car wasnt on here and i get complements on my olds from people who own cars in this vid. dont judge.
The 1968 Race Hemi Darts and Baracudas were the all time quickest factory stock cars, and they turned 10.50's ET's, They weren't that pretty, but I would like to have one! Your list is cool though!
@Wildkkat1 Whered you hear that. I thought the fastest production car in the old muscle car days was the AC Cobra. Mostly because it weight 2200LBS soaking wet.
@Wildkkat1@Wildkkat1 Youre not talking about factory stock then. Youre talking about stock car racing? Aka circle track. In order to run 10s youre taking serious HP and/or a light car, more so than any 60s car Im aware of. Even nowadays in order to run 10s you need slicks and around 750 to 800HP in a 3500lbs car. The Cobra made around 500+ HP was very light and ran low 12s on slicks. I dont see Darts running 10s stock.
@Warblade118 These were factory preped 426 race-hemi cars that were "not" street legal but you could order them with alum. hood, fiberglass fenders, acid dipped bumpers, 4.88 rear end, 426 race Hemi eng. dual holley's on a cross-ram alum intake 12.5 to 1 compression, roll-cage etc. light-weight glass no heater, blank dash, only gages. they were about 2800lbs and had 750+HP drag race cars.
@Wildkkat1 Ah, then they were factory modified cars. You cant really call that stock or production especially since they werent street legal. Thats more a special or limited production car that goes by a different set of rules. You cant really compare them to other factory cars of the time that were street legal. Even on street tires I still believe the AC Cobra was the fastest or quickest legal production car of the 60s by virtue of its 2200LBS curb weight.
@Warblade118 The Hemi Darts & Baracuda's could be ordered from the factory and as I 1st stated, you could order street legal versions were a little slower because they were heavier, but they would still eat cobra's for lunch! A lot of cars were faster than the cobra. Yenko L88 Camaro's and Corvettes, ZL-1 Corvettes, 1964-66 Hemi Satelites, just add slicks & open the headers, they they would run low 11's Muscle cars were mostly intended for Drag Racing.
@Wildkkat1 Lol. Well if you add slicks and open headers to the 427 Cobra youre looking at 11s too, possibly 10s, weight to HP, so I dont see how thats "eaten for lunch" and if you want to get real trick, take the S/C Cobra to full race spec, thats around 700-800HP I dont remember the specs exactly. Now youre looking at a low 9 sec car. Im not taking anything away from the cars you mentioned. Id kill for any one of them. But its hard to keep up with a 2200LBS Cobra.
@Warblade118 I grew up at the drag strip and I have raced for years and never saw the Cobra's do anything to turn heads! They are a cool car, but when you could buy a Hemi Cuda, or a Z/28 and many more muscle cars that were just as fast for a lot less money, well you figure it out! If the Cobras were in demand they would have built a lot more of them!
@Wildkkat1 Just because you havent seen one doesnt mean they dont "turn heads" Its not a popularity contest btw. The Cobra was defiantly an oddball in its day, a light chassis British car with a muscle car engine. My point was simply that it would have been nearly impossible in the 60s for anyone to build enough motor into a standard 3500lbs muscle car in the realm of street legal that could catch a 500HP 2200lbs car in a straight line, thats not even beginning to talk corner carving.
@Warblade118 I fail to see your point, but fast cars made there way to the drag strips no matter how many were built. I have driven Cobras before, they were set up for road course racing so they had tall rearend gearing for high MPH not quickness in the 1/4 mile. I stick with my original post because it is true history, and if you google a bit you will agree?
@Wildkkat1 You dont see my point after I spelled it out for you? Really? Okay. I guess there is no point in a further dialogue then. No hard feelings. We are, after all, on the same side.
BTW Its pretty easy to change the gearing for ¼ mile duty. So Im not sure what youre getting at. But its not really important. :)
@Warblade118 Cobra's were a specialty sport car aka Shelby design, 1st w/285HP/1500lb version in1962/64 the largest eng ever put in a Cobra was 485HP/427 Ford eng and a heavier 4 link a-arm rearend much heavier car, and those versions tripped the clocks 11.50's. The point I was making is the design of the cobra was for road course racing, not good for drag racing because of weight transfer problems. Cobra's were very successful on road courses because they handled like a go-cart.
@Wildkkat1 In drag racing the Cobras could not get there HP to the ground and even with slicks and gearing, would break the tires loose which killed there ET's
@Wildkkat1 Real interesting but nothing I didnt already know. Look, I realize the Cobra wasnt specify set up to drag race. And its not some kind of uber car. But get one to hook up, not too difficult btw, and what stock muscle car would keep up? 500HP to 2200lbs. Thats awfully hard to beat. Almost like trying to run against a dragster. No disrespect to all the other awesome cars of the era. If you can't tell by now, the 427 S/C was my favorite muscle car.
@Warblade118 Yeah, knowing that you can order (if you have the cash) The Snake Mustang 800+HP on pump gas, or a Twin-Turbo Viper 1700HP turning 7.50'sET and gets 30mpg streetable or a Mr Norm 572 Hemi Dart , Cobra Replicas that are better than the originals with 700+HP all alum.engs. Money talks!
hey man, first of all awsome video nice job...second, i love this 3 cars (1969 chevrolet camaro SS (fist generation), 1971 dodge challenger (first generation) and 1967 shleby mustang GT500) i wanted to know if u know how much they can cost...or if u could give me the name of some websites where i can check the prices...ty man!
your right...a ford fan...but i respect all of em...I can't believe I forgot the judge....that is one of my faves as well.I had a 67 chevelle and 70 camaro so i had to add those..lol
OMG A HEMI FAN , FINALLY AT LONG LAST , i thot it was gona be a challenger or somethign , finnaly a cuda comes , i love the cuda , ever since iwas a kid id love 2 have 1 , the best car 2 me no mater wat
@DylanR2008 Yes , but the paint job of the car is beauty at its best in mopar form , in my opinion , black and orange??? awesomeness. I myself couldn't care if it was a 426 or a 340 , makes a great sounds ... but the prob is gas prices. I think I might prefer 340 , less gas consumption , I think the less horse power the less gas wasted.
Your lame. No 427 Cobras. I love the others. But they in no way compare in the super cool category.

My point was simply that it would have been nearly impossible in the 60s for anyone to build enough motor into a standard 3500lbs muscle car in the realm of street legal that could catch a 500HP 2200lbs car in a straight line, thats not even beginning to talk corner carving.

@Warblade118 I fail to see your point, but fast cars made there way to the drag strips no matter how many were built. I have driven Cobras before, they were set up for road course racing so they had tall rearend gearing for high MPH not quickness in the 1/4 mile. I stick with my original post because it is true history, and if you google a bit you will agree?

@Wildkkat1 You dont see my point after I spelled it out for you? Really? Okay. I guess there is no point in a further dialogue then. No hard feelings. We are, after all, on the same side.
BTW Its pretty easy to change the gearing for ¼ mile duty. So Im not sure what youre getting at. But its not really important. :)

@Warblade118 Cobra's were a specialty sport car aka Shelby design, 1st w/285HP/1500lb version in1962/64 the largest eng ever put in a Cobra was 485HP/427 Ford eng and a heavier 4 link a-arm rearend much heavier car, and those versions tripped the clocks 11.50's. The point I was making is the design of the cobra was for road course racing, not good for drag racing because of weight transfer problems. Cobra's were very successful on road courses because they handled like a go-cart.

@Wildkkat1 In drag racing the Cobras could not get there HP to the ground and even with slicks and gearing, would break the tires loose which killed there ET's

@Wildkkat1 Real interesting but nothing I didnt already know. Look, I realize the Cobra wasnt specify set up to drag race. And its not some kind of uber car. But get one to hook up, not too difficult btw, and what stock muscle car would keep up? 500HP to 2200lbs. Thats awfully hard to beat. Almost like trying to run against a dragster. No disrespect to all the other awesome cars of the era. If you can't tell by now, the 427 S/C was my favorite muscle car.

@Warblade118 Yeah, knowing that you can order (if you have the cash) The Snake Mustang 800+HP on pump gas, or a Twin-Turbo Viper 1700HP turning 7.50'sET and gets 30mpg streetable or a Mr Norm 572 Hemi Dart , Cobra Replicas that are better than the originals with 700+HP all alum.engs. Money talks!

@staver76 didn't the AARs only come with a 340-6bbl?
DylanR2008 1 year ago
@DylanR2008 Yes , but the paint job of the car is beauty at its best in mopar form , in my opinion , black and orange??? awesomeness. I myself couldn't care if it was a 426 or a 340 , makes a great sounds ... but the prob is gas prices. I think I might prefer 340 , less gas consumption , I think the less horse power the less gas wasted.
