We had a ‘69 Mercury Cougar.

I don’t even know what a muscle car is but that Cougar was terrific.

Now that you brought it up, I made have misidentified 1 or 2 above.

1969 Plymouth Satellite

I owned a ‘66 Chevy with the L-78 396 “rat motor.”

The car was the ultimate sleeper. White walls, auto on the floor. Full mufflers and resonators.

It got 8 miles per gallon of premium gas.

I learned too late that these big GM engines didn't like high rpms.

A muscle car is an American-made two door coupe, generally manufactured from 1964 - 1972, with a high performance V8 engine. Some Mercury Cougars would be considered muscle cars.

ping list please

The Marlin came out in ‘64 so it was the other way around.

Long runner cross ram or short runner cross ram?

[Dr. Thorne]

This is the Charger used on USA Network's "Burn Notice".

[Eric in the Ozarks]

Are you referring to the Chrysler “cross ram” two 4 bbls ?

[Slump Tester]

Nice stuff, but I always thought those Roadrunners with the tall spoilers were about the stupidest looking cars to come out of that era.

[RandallFlagg]

'Cuda all the way, baby!!

[Eric in the Ozarks]

A high school buddy owned a ‘65 Goat.
It was the quickest thing in the state, I think.

The ‘70’s were hard on everyone. (Les Aspen)

Naw, this was a Dodge/Plymouth thing. Remember some guy i H.S. had s Super Stock car sponsored by an auto parts store. He'd bring it to school now and then, thin aluminum fenders and all. Apparently a special factory car set up for drag racing.

[RegulatorCountry]

They were made street legal so they could be run in NASCAR. Those tall spoilers might have been silly on the street but they served a purpose on a NASCAR track.

Long runner cross ram or short runner cross ram?

Man, I was 15 yrs old at the time and knew nothing about cars.

[Slump Tester]

"I learned too late that these big GM engines didn't like high rpms. "

Shoulda got a Pontiac instead of the Chevy! I had both, and my Pontiacs always seemed to hold up a little better.
