The assistant manager at the bowling alley i worked out in college had the one that looked like a pregnant pinto, Pacer I think. Had to rider a cross the parking lot on occasion to make bank deposits.. Anyway I agree absolute garbage.

Any car 1974/75 and after had catalytic converters and the horsepower is way down. Plus they ended up as rust buckets, no quality by the big 3 at all. Just build them and ship them out.
My first vehicle was a 75 camara, 350, 4-barrel, fun car to drive, but by the time I traded it off in 85, rust all over the place, and was burning oil. Cars made during this time period were just not made to last and ride tended to be horrible if you had to go any distance at all.
If you watch the auctions over the course of a few years, it’s really amazing the ebb and flow of what models are hot and then lose half their value. 60s-70s muscle cars excluded.
I owned a 74 z28 with a 500+hp 427. I owned probably 10 other muscle/sports cars and running a Honda at 8k rpm is highly underrated. I would give the fun edge to the 74 z but just barely and that's before we talk about it breaking down every 10 minutes. The s2000 is the closest you get to a crotch rocket, which I love.

It’s the “wife’s” car. Had a 6 speed Sact Pac. She was tired of the stick and I was in charge of finding a replacement with an auto.
She’s a keeper!

Gotta go with a 1970 Super Bee. But my dream car is to build a muscle car out of an old hearse.
Always liked the early Duster models too. The performance models anyway.
I picked this up in 1987, when I was a Junior in high school. I’ll never sell it. 1969 Mustang. 302, deluxe interior convertible.
I have a 358 cu chevy that puts out 600 hp I'd sell if you wanted to restore a older car.
The Hellcats are a wild beast of a car. A friend of mine used to have one until they had a kid a year ago. You're talking lots of $$$$$$$ though.
If you want to consider foreign, the Mitsu 3000GT of that era is one of the best looking cars I've seen. Twin turbos but I think they were pretty reliable. I'm not really a car guy. What do you all think about these?
The other day I was just cruising along in the far right lane when I notice a Hellcat tailing someone in the passing lane. It looked like this Hellcat wasn't messing around so I sped up to join the action. After about a mile the idiot in front of the Hellcat, holding up everyone, moved over. In my head I'm thinking "Please take out your anger on your car".......and he did. We were probably going sixty and his wheels were spinning and the most glorious sound erupted. It didn't last long but it made my day. I had a similar experience with a Ferrari on the autobahn.
I hope a mid 1970's baby blue Chevy LUV is considered a muscle car. That's what I suggest you get.
More of a 1970s guy, but I smell what you're cooking. Growing up I thought this was the ultimate car.
I would love (no pun intended) to have a late 70s LUV.
Watched a YouTube video where they fired one up. Just like the one pops had. Those had a distinct sound and feel....small as hell too
