Re: Perhaps a little off topic...

I think if you asked anyone they would say that a Mustang was a muscle car.  Although it could be ordered with a six cyl.  That kind of blows that whole large engine only/platform argument.  Trying to pinpoint "the first" muscle car is kind of a fool's errand.  Pretty hard to say this or that model was the first.  Here, we all know "the truth".

I stumbled across yet another web article that attemped to rank or list 60's muscle cars.  My observation and resulting reaction seems to always be the same.  How cold any list not include one of the '62 - '64 max wedge cars?  Worse, I consistently read that the 1964 Pontiac GTO was the car that "started it all."

C'mon now!

I know it is near impossible to put personal bias, opinion, and emotion aside, but how could a 389 with three two barrels "start" the muscle car era when two years earlier you could buy a 426 max wedge in a lightweight B body?

Rant aside, here is the latest list that riled me up...
