Alright /o/ what do you all have for classic muscle cars?
What would you want for a classic muscle car?
None of this old Japanese shit
I'm talking true American muscle.
Muscle cars are garbage
>>14992222
How/why?
>>14992222
this
dont have many redeemable traits
I still like the smaller V8 cars tho
>>14992246
As you can already tell, /o/ considers traditional muscle cars to be overblown pigfat boomer trash because we can't afford them. We have "pony cars" instead like pic related. There's probably little distinction in your mind at this point but you'll soon learn the difference.
>>14992214
3rd gen Camaro, late 60s/early 70s Charger or Mustang. Those are the best-looking, so that's what I'd want for a proper muscle car.
I'd go for a modern Mustang if they did it in european trim levels, because they've got it handling like a car and not a brick on a rollerskate.
But a muscle car is MEANT to be too big and stupid and inefficient and handle badly. Isn't it?
What's the point of them if they aren't awful?
I mean, I wouldn't DD them. That's just stupid. I have a proper car for that.
>>14992284

Just because your mother-in-law weighs 500 pounds doesn't make your 300 pound wife skinny.
I'm a bit of an oddball. I love American cars, but I also like high revving engines, so I generally happen to like the smaller engines or the destrokers.
If I went GM, I'd probably pick a second gen F-body. Engine would be a 302 destroker (ala 67-69 Z28. 350 block with a 283 crank) for the high revving special snowflake points. suspension would be all pro-touring including a Heidts IRS, and a 6 speed manual swap.
If I went Mopar, it would probably be a 340 powered Plymouth Duster/Demon/Barracuda with pro touring suspension and a 6 speed manual.
If I went Ford, it'd be a mid-60's Falcon with a built 302, pro touring Mustang suspension, and a 6 speed stick.
I haven't decided what I'd do for an AMC yet. Haven't looked into their aftermarket support for this kinda stuff

I'm not saying they should have them, I'm saying them not having them is a reason why I don't want one.

This is exactly why the Pro Touring scene exists. To bring these cars up to modern standard while preserving what's great about them.

That happened to the delivery driver at my dealership a few weeks ago. She was in an 05 Toyota Tundra, got tboned at about 45mph and it fucked her up bad, even in a car that new. Had to get surgery on her arms to put in metal plates for multiple fractures, and her torso cut open for internal bleeding.
Also, I didn't specify A-bodies, just muscle cars in general. 67 Camaros had monoleaf rear suspension, for example. 68/69 was upgraded to multileaf.

4 door. Cant remember if the 164 ever came as a 2 door.
>>14992606
Fact checked, Volvo 162C prototype built in sweden came as a 2 door
>>14992606
Brief jewgling turned up apparent two doors, but I could be utterly misinformed. Might be cool, has a halfass second gen Camaro front end look. Screw a blower to the damn thing to scare the coppers.
>>14992625
I fucking wish the laws would allow me to supercharge the fuck out of it without a major hassle, but i recon a 350 with some intake and cam change will make it go a bit better.
>>14992644
Laaaame. Eh, whatever. Keep your eyes peeled to see if any sets of Vortec heads made it across the pond, pretty much the best budget cylinder head for the SBC. Iffin' you buy it that is.
>>14992659
Yeah, i will pick some up along with the intake, they are pretty damn cheap here if you can find them, swapping out the rear axle for a volvo 1031 to handle the torque along with different suspension.

WEW LAD
I get it if you don't like that particular one but DUDE LMAO
I've posted about this a few days ago but I'm super excited, I test driving this 79 camaro coupe on Monday. It's a "z28" replica, the owner swapped in a newly built and cammed 350 with edelbrock parts, z28 front rear and side panels, leather interior, new exhaust system and new suspension components. He wants ~6000 but is flexible because he needs the money to buy a 55 chevy. Vin check turned out to be useless because 13 digit vin.
If test drive goes well I'm buying this motherfucker and selling my 84 firebird with a 305 in it and all new 2.5 inch exhaust and flowmaster
The dream car is a chevelle though
>>14993682
>tastelessly modified = all
no
those arent exact weights either those are less than what they actually weigh
>>14993686
And this is what I have now but it's definitely not muscle
>>14993697
Nigga they are estimated of how they rolled off the factory there not going to be exact to the pound but that is how much they weigh like it or not it's the truth
define tasteless modification for me

here have some exact weights

As is how the car left the factory and how every car manufacturer does
>>14993824
you are one dense fucktard
a LS car should be lighter than those quoted figures
it isnt

>>14993832
I will give you that one I could have sworn it was this thread I said 3200 to 3600 is what they tend to weigh

Small block chevy you are looking around 3195 with water around 3220 and for both add about 150 pounds for a tank full of gas
>>14993878
i own a 6 cylinder boomer sedan
ive also driven a couple of v8 boomer sedans. I like them for the seemingly infinite torque, how comfy they are, aesthetics, ease of maintenance, engine accessibility and lack of bells and whistles.
But most people who buy these cars now buy them for the collect-ability and for investing, which i think is a shame
>>14993925
im going to white knight because i feel bad for you now, why can't you buy your own mid 70's landbarge? theres plenty of anons here who own malaise era luxobarges that people love and they are relatively cheap
>>14993812
>>14993822
You think so? My third gen just feels so clunky and shitty with a weak 305 in it and weighing overy 3000lbs. A small camaro with a built 350 would be way zippier right?

>>14993965
yeah at the heart
if you think a 3rd gen is exactly the same as a 2nd youre wrong
>>14993965
t. never read Camaro: The Third Generation by Michael Lamm
They did a fuckton of chassis research and development for the thirdgen. The book shows all the differences and compares the second and third gen's performance with skidpad tests and a bunch of data. It was called the best handling car in America when it came out, and it damn sure deserved that title. Even if the engine is shit, an 82 Z28 will run circles around a foxbody handling wise.
>>14993949
That was the game plan originally but theirs a few impediments:
I live in California so it has to pass smog which means a lot of guess work and tinkering with building the exact right engine that'll give me performance but still pass inspection. The owner of the camaro took all the guesswork out by doing this for me already and it just smogged 4 weeks ago.
The price of a comparable 350 engine would be like 1500-2000 dollar in my area pre built. I don't have the tools or experience to build an engine myself
The cost of having someone put it in for me, or conversely the cost of buying a cherry picker and engine stand plus taking a week off work to do the swap myself and potentially fuck it up + the cost of a rental car if needed since the firebird is my DD
The fact that I got the fire birdepartment for 2500 with 84k original miles and all original from someone really desperate for the money. Im pretty sure I can haggle camaro guy down to like 4500 and then sell my firebird for 4k and basically end up paying 500 bucks for an engine swap when it's all said and done.
>>14992386
Do you think when someone takes their car to a race track..
That there isn't a class of race for all kinds of cars to make it fair?

Yeah, I've thought long and hard about it, but I think I'd rather do a project me and my late father would've done. Which is either buy and fix up a 67-72 GMC/Chevy 4x4 pickup, or build a 1974 Dodge Monaco Bluesmobile (which I'm helping build one right now!)
All remains to be seen. If I can't get what I want out of the Gran Torino, I'll keep it and fix it up. Don't see them out and about ever (I'm the only one with one in my city that's a fastback I believe) and it's got all the nice rare options.

You don't have to. And where did I say any of my previous ones were nice? My Charger interior was fairly scrap as was the Newport and the Chevelle. The only one I really regret selling is the Dart with the 413, but my parents were going to default on their mortgage because of work injuries. The Fury I got because it was a steal and had an immaculate interior. The Datsun was had for 800 and needed a battery and a tune up and she purrs. Or rather did, 3 years of AutoX took its toll.
>>14999461
Well see, there you go.
When you say you had a '66 396 chevelle it's like saying that you've fucked megan fox, it's really hard to believe. Most of those "had" cars are expensive as shit is all, and your current fury does not scream "I have money" aside from the mechanical work. You get what I'm saying, I apologize. I just raised an eyebrow at that list of heavy hitters.
You have great taste, though it'd be hard to be sleeper status in anything like that. People gawk constantly at anything older than the 70s with a decent paint job on it.

You are fine anon, I get asked about my car history and then people see the Fury and go WTF. The Fury is my second favorite so far because mechanically, its built but the body sits in primer with oily fingerprints to make people think it is a beater. Same reason I have Heddmann longtubes >5" collector> 3.5" reducer> exhaust dumps> full 2.5" exhaust with quiet ass mufflers. Hell, I've had people think I had a misfire with the dumps closed because that's what my cam lope is reminiscent of. Sure, its a big car and looks slow but that's the whole point.
The 396 and the TH400 were given to me in trade by my uncle when his Camaro got T boned and he had no use for it at the time 10.1:1, Dart heads, KB pistons, etc. Traded him a T5 with a SBC adapter and anarrowed Dana 60 from a 2nd Gen trans am. Yes, today what I had in prime shape is worth money, but mine were always either swapped or had ruined looks because of neglect. Performance trumps looks in my book however, so if when a project is close to done I have the money for paint or better suspension or brakes or what have you, I go with the latter.
Pic related, a near perfect interior and all original.

Yeah, I've seen your car lots. I've been on here for a long time, I just had never read about your previously owned vehicles. The fury really doesn't look like much, but I know you care a lot about it. Hopefully you don't sell it, would be a shame.
Was about to call you a fucking chad when I read chevelle 396.
>>14999612
And I could see why with you not knowing the background. And that's the goal, the Fury doesn't look like much, so I don't get the attention of a Belvedere or Coronet. However, the powertrain is full bore as im sure you have seen/read before. The good news is when It is beyond what im willing to repair, a friends dad has a 70 Challenger chassis and panels that was a factory 383/727 car with a partial interior he'd sell me for about 6k. I just don't want to go on the hunt for E body trim pieces as they are higher than hell because of boomer tax. I have all the trim for the Fury and can get a whole second parts car for about the cost of a good carb and intake if I ever needed to. C Body mopars are largely ignored in comparison to their Chevy counterparts meaning that although prices have started to rise, they can be had reasonably (albeit most have their engine/trans missing because of a near guaranteed BBM until 1970.The HP Cs with Dana 60 rears are nearly all gone because the Cs were the widest available and axles are easily narrowed to fit A,B, and E bodies. Another pic for posterity sake

I have a build that I think you'll like, but I'm not going to post it until it's done.
Nice car, bud. I hope you get your other wants eventually.
>>14999796
Look forward to seeing it. Care to tell me the basis of the build? And as for the wants, id be happy with just the 67 Charger. God do I want a full length console again, it was my favorite part of mine and was unique as hell. Really was as close to the Turbine as id ever get realisticly.

I think he meant shit as in stuff. He just didn't want to see old celicas etc

Most people will shit talk it, but I'm sure it's right up your alley since you like the sleeper thing.
Let's just say it's a shitty 6 cylinder with a draw-thru setup in a grandma car.
>>14993741
those weights are fully loaded with a BB. my '69 only weighs 3300 lbs.
The suspension is also highly underrated in Chevelles. Unequal length double-wishbone suspension up front with shock/spring setup (not leaf springs) in the rear makes for susprisingly good handling

Can't wait.

Wtf. 118 but only 15s? Does it just fall flat on its face or does it just beast mode the upper rpms
Trying to find my dream car for sale. One is near me for about 5K. But I don't have 5K
>Dem feels
>>15003366
2.79 rear end gears is your answer
>>15003986
I know the feel. There is a fully restored (older early 2000s resto) 383 4 speed 66 Charger for 13k that includes a second roller that is down to metal for 13k. Has a full second interior, but it needs a full powertrain in the stripped one. So tempting to go grab them but alas, im about 7k short.
I would love a 1970 Buick GSX in white. My more resonable in cost option is a 1962 Pontiac Grand Prix Super Duty.
>>14992214
As far as muscle cars go and not including cars that I've briefly owned only to sell right away.
Still own:
>1968 Coronet 500
>1975 Corvette Stingray
>1992 Camaro (i know not everyone will agree on this one, i would too if it were stock)
No longer own:
>1969 Dodge Coronet
>1966 Dodge Coronet
>1973 Dodge Charger
>1967 Pontiac Lemans
>1964 Plymouth Barracuda (also iffy on this one, i only count it since it was a V8/4Speed)
If we're including classics then:
>1956 Chevy Bel air (still own)
>1964 Imperial Crown (gone)
Car's i'd like to own at some point or keep:
>1967 Oldsmobile 442 (honestly i'd settle for a Cutlass
>1970 Dodge Coronet (this one is a must)
>C2 corvette (either completely stock or completely modified, i love both but not between)
>1958 Buick (preferably a wagon)
>1959/60 Buick (Nailhead and if a 4door then flattop only)
>i want to build a gasser out of any 55-57 GM 2door with nice looking Patina. (I've come close a few times, just haven't found the right one)
>a 68-70 Mopar B-body wagon
>any year Mopar E-body
>any 66-72 GM A-body i find for a decent price.
>1966/67 Plymouth B-body and Charger
>Kinda want a 86/87 Monte Carlo to modify (no aerocoupe though)
>Drop top third gen Camaro (only with a LB9 or L98 and 5speed and probably keep it all stock since my Camaro isn't)
>1960 Chrysler or Imperial (with 413 Crossram Wedge)
>This is the only unrealistic one for me, a 69 Daytona or 70 Superbird
>whatever else i find
