Muscle Car History
Cars are a necessary part of our lives today. However, we also drive cars which suit our personal tastes and for pure enjoyment. Your car makes a major statement about your personality. Your vehicles are also a major investment and you want to do everything you can to keep them looking good for a long time. No matter what type of vehicle you have, whether it is a new car or a classic you should cover it with a car cover when not in use.
The muscle car era has probably given us some of the most desirable and collectable cars in history. Even today, muscle cars can be seen and are still in high demand. They have a distinctive look with their wide profiles, sharp lines and plenty of chrome. Their looks are muscular and the V8 engines fast. Some of the cars that fit into this category include the Dodge Charger and the Pontiac GTO.
To be classified as a muscle car the vehicle has to meet some criteria. It is a mid size vehicle with a V8 engine and was produced between 1965 and 1973. The muscle car models had the added V8 engine and special trims. They usually handled better because they had optimal suspension and braking.

Muscle Car Madness
With Dodge re-releasing the challenger, and Chevrolet re-releasing the camero, I think that a return of the muscle cars is up on us, and for a muscle car freak like me, this is a good good thing, it’s one of those that I thought would never happen, with all the tree huggers, hippies, and general whiners out these, I just figured that my dream to see the old American muscle again would be flushed away like so many classic American cars.
With all the people in this country that seem to think that import cars are built better, and so many people that just don’t believe in our country any more, I never thought that this day would come, I heard all the whining about these cars that first time around, I still remember t copy of car craft magazine that had a head stone on the front, the head stone read something like this high performance born in 1950; died in 1979, how true it was, and this due to the whiners, like Ralph Nader, the high performance world’s fly in the ointment.
They tried to assassinate American muscle, by making muscle cars out to be the bad guy, they singled then out as monsters, as dinosaurs, that had a hunger to destroy the world, while just ignoring the luxury car that were doing the same thing at the time, you could no longer buy a muscle car, but a Cadillac, or a Lincoln was no problem for the powers that be, a gas guzzling Mercedes, or Bentley was no big deal, but a camero was just horrible, a corvette was a step below that, and it got worse that more hungry you were for American muscle.
