My first car was a 1970 Nova with a 327 in it. Wanted to put a bigger engine in it, but never did. I always wanted one of these.....

1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS with a 496.

i went thru some cars back yrs ago. 66 chevelle 396 4 speed , 70 chevelle , 70 cuda , 72 350 v-8 Vega......Best 1 ever had was a 68 chevy truck (yea here comes another story)

Guy down the street had it and he worked on it nearly everynight....im talking this thing looked like showroom condition. But under the hood it was all power. I go down there 1 evening and hes bitchin and raisin hell....his wife is demanding he get rid of the truck. he tells me he's so tired of hearing her bitch about it he'd sell it right now for $1500. The next day it was mine. All it needed was to finish putting in the floor shift and me and a buddy did it that night...drove it down to new orleans and all through the quarter and shit.
Next morning im going to work, i have to be there at 8am but im so excited i leave at 7 just to drive it some more.....im 2 blocks from work on a skinny 2 lane road with ditches on each side.
i look ahead and there is a Toyota coming at me head on doing about 50mph, as it got closer i could see the driver slumped over the wheel. I stopped in the road put both feet on the brakes and closed my eyes....when i opened them the engine was in the cab with me and the toyota was upside down in the ditch. Had the truck less than 24 hours and it was gone........
Stay tuned and next time ill tell you about my moms 70 catalina that she let me drive 1 time....keywords 1 time lol

70 Chevelle SS 396, auto 350H with cowl induction hood, it was one of the fastest cars in my small town. Over 3 years and 12 tickets only lost 1/4 mile to 2 cars, a vette and a goat, both cars were not stock. Bought it used from a guy going to Vietnam, sold it to a guy who ran it off a bridge and turned it in as stolen. True Story.

I had a 1972 Gran Torino. It had a 400 6.6 L V8.

It was baby blue, but still a lot of fun to drive.

2008 Ford Mustang GT Convertible. Absolutely love it, and I'm glad I got it young (25). Though mods, man they really ate my money until I got her *juuuust* right. :D

Would you consider a Mercedes SL-500 as a muscle car? Prob not, but that was the sweetest ride I had. Had it for 5 years and I didn't even put 1000 miles on the car - I ended up giving it away as a contest prize when we started my company.

Had an IROC-Z28 back in the '90s and had a Mazda RX-7 for a while in the late '80s. The IROC handled better than any car I've ever driven, including a vette, porsche 911 turbo and a real high end Jag not to mention I've driven a ton of other cars with all the travel I do and the car rentals I end up with.
