Muscle Car Mania !

[Monster]

Another thread just for fun !

Based upon our recent HAMB and Small Block Muscle Cars thread discussions, this thread is specifically for American made Muscle Cars of the 1960-70's only and will operate more like that "other" site, so be prepared for some backlash if you stray off-topic.

Wish I had pics but this was two whole lives ago - I had a red '68 Roadrunner and a pale yellow '70. I used to have a pic of a similar pale yellow '70 but evidently it's gone into the witness protection program. Anyhow, they were very fun cars and I enjoyed them greatly. Both were tough as nails and in spite of really rough use never failed to perform perfectly.

I was waist deep into the muscle car stuff in the '80's & '90's......a lot of AMC stuff

When I was stationed on the East Coast in the late '60's a small AMC Rambler dealer had one of the
Hurst SC Ramblers on the floor...........I never got that car out of my mind and ended up owning two ...........a A Scheme & a B Scheme
Here's the A Scheme car.......was one of the 'funest' ones I owned



Here's the B Scheme

Here are a couple of AMX's I owned.........the green one was a total resto
Both lots of fun..........4 speed cars

Finally the '70 Nova I had before I did the '55/409 project
This was an original numbers matching drivetrain Nova SS that was purchased just up the road from me
It was a 350, 4 speed , bench car

I had a L88 mill built.......aluminum head 427, solid roller cam, lots of porting..........made over 500 hp on the dyno
Installed a Tremec 5 speed which made the car a blast to drive..........I miss this one

Sweet.

On the Roadrunners : The '68 was a pillar couple (not a hardtop) without a vinyl top - pretty basic. It was an auto. The '70 was close to the one shown but it didn't have the dust trails and it was a pillar coupe, too. Again, pretty basic - it was a 4 speed. I'm not sure if that's the same yellow as mine seemed lighter but that might just be the lighting. Thanks for finding and posting the pics - brings back memories.......
