Used Muscle Cars
The era of American Muscle Cars lasted about 8 years from1964 to 1972 and was primarily killed off by the 1972 fuel crisis and the progression towards unleaded fuel.
This horsepower war, although short-lived saw many household brands of car manufacturer like Ford, Dodge and Chevrolet producing cars with mind blowing power of over 400 bhp from their thunderous V8's years before their time. Even the movies of this period picked up on the amazing performance of these muscle cars, with films like Bullit and Vanishing Point, ensuring cult status for certain models and for a select few, world wide acclaim for ever.
Due to a mini revival over the last few years there has been a steady rise in prices of these now classic used muscle cars. So finding a good cheap one in the auto classifieds may now be a far more difficult proposition. Some used muscle car dealers have asking prices of over 1/2 million dollars for some of the rarer models. There have also been modern versions of the American muscle car making a comeback, but due ever to rising fuel costs, these are in new and improved forms.
For me the classic muscle car has to have a special place in automotive history and so below, in no particular order is my are my top 10 used muscle cars you could buy today.

My Top 10 Used Muscle Cars
Dodge Charger
Launched in 1966, any Dodge Charger would be an ideal used muscle car. For the styling of the Charger, Dodge copied Fords Mustang fastback model and had an instant hit selling over 37,000 chargers in its first year. The Charger also packed a serious punch right from the start, fitted with the legendary 7.0-litre Hemi engine, which officially produced 425bhp was actually producing nearer the 500 mark and could crack 0 - 60 in about five and a half seconds.
1968 saw the Charger get a sleeker face lift and the engine size was increased to a whopping 7.2-litre with the R/T version. Surprisingly the new 7.2 engine produced less power than the Hemi but was far more reliable and came with a five year warranty. Chrysler held on to the muscle car performance ideal as long as they could and didn’t start to detune their engines until after the 1972 model years, and sadly dropping the Hemi forever.
The Dodge Charger has to be one of the most recognisable used muscle cars ever, for me it was the ultimate bad guys muscle car, powerful and so menacing as in the film Bullit. Sadly the Charger also became far more well known in bright orange with a confederate flag on the roof. This Charger was beamed to us weekly as the Duke boys had their weekly battle evading the cops in Hazard County.

Ford Mustang
The Ford Mustang was introduced midway through 1964 as Ford’s entry to the intermediate sized car sector and was first fitted with a straight 6 cylinder 2.8-litre engine and a three speed manual gearbox. Keeping an eye on the expanding muscle car scene, Ford gave the Mustang a major redesign in 1967 and installed a big block V8 6.4-litre engine that pushed out 320bhp in basic spec. There was a 7-litre engine, producing around 340bhp was also available as an option. The California Special Mustang, or GT/CS, was based on a Shelby model and was only sold in the western us states. The GT/CS was only available as a coupe, but Ford did produce the High Country Special model that was also available as a fastback or convertible.
The Ford Mustang fastback gained its legendary cult status when used in the film Bullitt. Police Lt. Frank Bullitt, played by legendary actor Steve McQueen, drives a (highly modified) Highland Green 1968 Mustang GT fastback, through the streets of San Francisco after two hit men in a black 1968 Dodge Charger, in a 7 minute car chase.
The Ford Mustang fastback must be one of the most desired used muscle cars on anyones list

Pontiac GTO
The Pontiac GTO was produced from 1964 to 1974 and in my opinion has to be a strong contender to the title of the first true American muscle car.
What I like about the GTO is that it personifies the whole concept of what a muscle car should be. The GTO portrays arrogance, and loads of attitude, with a big brutish V8 engine, the fake bonnet scoops, a Hurst gear shifter, big dual exhausts and a racy trim. But the most arrogant of all a name stolen from Ferrari.
The first GTO's were quick for their time with 325bhp, 0-60 in 7-7 seconds and the blasting the quarter mile in around 15 seconds. Maybe not that fast today but remember this was back in the mid sixties.1968 saw the Pontiac undergo a significant redesign with a smaller wheelbase longer bonnet, and standard power up to 350 bhp, although their was a 366bhp ram air engine option available. Also in 1968 Pontiac ceased production of the GTO coupe, and only hardtops and convertible were then available. Even so over 87,000 Pontiac GTO's were sold. By late1969 Pontiac had upped the GTO's power to 370bhp
If I did have to stick my neck out and make a choice a Pontiac GTO would have to be in my top 3 used muscle cars.

Chevrolet Camaro
Seeing the runaway success that Ford was having with the Mustang, incidentally still the fastest selling sports car in history, General Motors entered the muscle car market with the Camaro in1967. Chevrolet stated that the car was named after a slang French word for 'friend' whereas Ford quickly responded with claims that a Camero was actually the name of a type of shrimp. After this the Chevrolet sales team then claimed that a Camaro was a: "a small, vicious animal that eats Mustangs".
The basic models of the Camero came equipped with a feeble straight six engine but just as with the Mustang, the Camaro had a very long options list. The best option being the Z28 package, only for those in the know as it was never mentioned in any of the sales brochures. Ticking this option got the buyer a 4.9-litre engine, front disc brakes, power steering and four speed manual transmission. Although smaller than the 6.5-litre engine offered in the Camaro SS, the Z28 motor had been developed purely for racing and offered up to 400bhp.
By 1969 General Motors had sent out certain directives, and Chevrolet were forced to stop putting engines larger than 6.6-litres in the Camaro but realising there was stil a market for the high performance variants, Chevy did manage to quietly sneak out the L-72 Camero variant with a 425bhp, 7.0-litre engine and the extremely rare Camero ZL-1 which reputedly had so much power it could literally shred its tyres.

Dodge Challenger
The Dodge Challenger became famous for its starring role in another classic muscle car movie, 'Vanishing Point' this Challenger took a sort of anti-hero across the desert in a drugs fuelled flight ending in a fiery blaze of glory.
The Dodge Challenger was quite a latecomer to the muscle car scene, and wasn’t launched until 1970. It was an instant success, selling over 80,000 in that year alone. The Challenger was offered with a good range of engines, starting with a weedy straight-six, and topping out with the R/T (Road and Track) version of the mighty 7.0-litre Hemi with 425bhp or a 7.2-litre, 390bhp offering. Sadly these engines were only used for the first year or two of the Challengers life, and by 1972, power output was right down to a pathetic 240bhp and the Challengers performance nosedived. The Dodge Challenger lasted into 1975, but by this time the classic muscle car concept had run its course.
Before the recent crisis Daimler Chrysler had unveiled a new Challenger concept at the Detroit Motor Show so who knows, maybe one day this classic muscle car name could be back.

Buick GSX
Like the majority of American muscle cars the Buick GS started out as an option to one of Buick’s mid-sized cars, the Skylark. The GS was created in 1965, by dropping in a 6.5-litre engine into the Skylark and It sold 16,000 unit in its first year before gaining a brand new engine. By 1967 the Buick GS had become a model in its own right and was available in coupe, sedan and convertible forms.
Over the years the GS range was subject to continuous improvement, and like all the classic Muscle Cars, annual styling and performance revisions. Power output was reaching around 390bhp by1968 although to get round parent company GM’s power restrictions, Buick engineers claimed around 345 horses.
The ultimate GS muscle car came after1970 when General Motors dropped its engine size restrictions, so the Buick engineers promptly stuffed a 7.5-litre engine under the hood which threw out over 501lb/ft of torque and a claimed 400bhp. When combined with the GSX body kit (available only in yellow or white) and uprated suspension the Buick GSX was formidable opposition in the muscle car market, and from a firm not renown for producing performance cars.

Plymouth Roadrunner
By 1968, most American muscle cars were moving away from the original concept of cheap performance for the masses and were getting bigger, heavier and much more expensive. Plymouth had paid $50,000 to Warner Brothers to be allowed to use the name Roadrunner and likeness of the famous cartoon bird on a new design muscle car which could run the quarter mile in under 14 seconds and cost less than $4,000.
The Plymouth Roadrunner was in reality a stripped down machine, it didn’t even come with carpets, but the suspension, brakes and steering were all beefed up and the basic engine was 6.3-litre with 335bhp. For an extra $714, Plymouth would drop in a 7.0-litre hemi producing 425bhp and 490lb/ft of torque. The Plymouth Roadrunner soldiered on until 1975 but the oil crisis and emissions regulations by then had ripped the heart out of the muscle car sales.

Plymouth Barracuda
The Plymouth Barracuda was actually launched a couple of weeks before the Ford Mustang in 1964, but got largely overlooked by buyers in their stampede to buy the Ford. As muscle cars go most buyers thought the Barracuda was, well, a bit boring, this was not helped buy a weedy range of engines on offer. It took six years, and wasn’t until 1970 that Plymouth put some serious power under the hood along with a sexy restyle.
The performance models were known as ‘Cudas and the two top Barracuda models had either the 7.2-litre, 390bhp model or the now legendary 7.0-litre Hemi, which, although being smaller in capacity produced a monstrous 425bhp. These Barracudas also got high performance suspension to try and get all that power onto the tarmac but sadly these muscle cars gained a reputation for being difficult to control. These these custom muscle cars only lasted for a couple of years before being dropped and the rest of the engines in the range were detuned to where the biggest, a 5.6-litre V8 engine produced only 240bhp and Plymouth allowed the Barracuda and muscle car concept to fade away in 1974.

Chevrolet Chevelle
Pontiac with the GTO had caught Chevrolet napping in 1964 since the Chevelle’s top spec engine offered only a measly 300bhp but this was quickly rectified by 1965 with Chevrolet fitting a 375bhp, 6.5-litre engine in the SS model. This proved to be a bit of a problem as with all that weight over the front wheels the handling and braking on the Chevelle became atrocious.Things did improve over the next couple of years with suspension modifications and better front disk brakes.
In 1968 the range had a restyle, and the top engine option became available in all the Chevelle models from 1969, this included the El Camino pick-up truck. 1970 was the year that saw the ultimate Chevrolet to hit the roads, the Chevelle SS was the most powerful muscle car of all with a enormous 7.4-litre V8 that produced over 450bhp and with 500lb/ft torque which could propell this Chevelle from 0 - 60 in six seconds. Sadly the following year saw this engine dropped by Chevrolet and the whole Chevelle range was detuned for unleaded petrol, meaning power output even on the top models was down to a paltry 385bhp.

Oldsmobile 442
Following after Pontiac's lead, (its General Motors sister company), Oldsmobile became the second American manufacturer to offer a mid-sized car mated to a monstrous engine. This was a 5.4-litre that was offered in the Cutlass model. This engine was a police-spec motor capable of churning out 310bhp and became known as the 4-4-2 to highlight the four-barrel carburettor, the four-speed manual transmission and the twin exhausts.
Oldsmobile included in this package uprated springs, shock absorbers and an anti-roll bar, and this gave the 442 a reputation of being an excellent handling car that could actually go round corners unlike most of its straight line specialist relatives. In 1968 the car became its own model, and of course got a redesign, transforming into a shapely coupe and gaining a whopping 7.5-litre, 390bhp engine if you went for the top spec. By 1970 most American manufacturers including GM had decided that all engines needed to drink unleaded which led to a drastic drop in performance with the best spec motors only managing just 270bhp. Sadly this was the writing was on the wall and the end for the American muscle car.
