My “favorite” so-called “muscle car” is my ‘57 Bel-Air hardtop. 340-HP 327, Muncie and Posi-Trac from a ‘64 Corvette. Somebody stole the 3-dueces, but it runs better really with the Holly 4-barrel it has now.

Not the fastest car for sure, but it goes good, looks good, and sounds good. Now if I will only put the disc-brake mod on it, it would even stop good! Approximately 400,000 miles on it, of which I have put about 250,000. Owned it since 1982.

One of the “Bullitt” cars has been restored and is in storage and hasn’t been seen since whenever. A second was found in a junkyard in Mexico and is in the process of being restored. It was one of two used in the movie. One of the stunt drivers said there were three cars used, but that doesn’t match up with the records.

I almost bought a Honda CR-X once but couldn’t wait around long enough for the dealer to get one in stock.

I think I dodged a bullet with that one. Not a very safe car.

This rare beast is one of only 11 ever produced. Commonly thought of as the most desirable muscle car in the world, it is exceedingly unusual to see one of these for sale. This particular offering boasts of highly desirable features. These features include the 426 HEMI V8 engine with two four barrel carburetors, 727 automatic transmission, Super Track Pak package with DANA 60 rear end and 4.11 ratio gears, power convertible top, center console and more. This vehicle was built for Canadian export of which only two were built. In addition, it is finished in its factory correct In Violet (Plum Crazy) paint, making it the only 1971 HEMI ‘Cuda Convertible in this color.

My buddy, captain of the football team, had a '68 Mustang GT fastback with a 390 4-barrel, 4 on-the-floor. With three other hulking meatheads in that car, I never saw him lose a race. 340-Six-pack Darts, Z-28's, Corvettes, GTO's, that thing was a freaking bullet on wheels. He'd do over 120mph driving me home from football practice on two-lane country back roads. In third gear.

We were immortal back then...

The Muncie shift linkage was notoriously unreliable in many ways, extremely finicky adjustment and crappy bushings were the main culprits.

That’s why Hurst sold so many linkage kits.

My newest favorite looks like it’s going to be a 66 Dodge Dart GT that i’ll be stuffing with a 414ci solid roller stroker! I build my own engines that way if there’s ever a problem I have to look no further than the rear view mirror to know where the problem is!
