I’m sure there’s older ones that kill it power wise, but for beauty:
My 1994 z28 camaro convertible black in/out leather.
Test drove it and felt like I was in a rocket :)
Just seeing her when I came home from work made me happy :)
Had a ride in a 1965 Pontiac GTO with triple carbs. The guy put a ten dollar bill on the dash and said if I could get it when he accelerated it was mine. Big Nope. I thought my Airbus had acceleration. WOW!

The 1969 Z-28 Camaro. DZ 302ci, 4 speed Muncie, 3:43 rear.
‘66-69 Pontiac GTO.
The 1969 Dodge Charter.
The 500 and Daytona had improved aerodynamics, which were primarily a flush grille and back light on the 500, but were radical on the Daytona, which had a Cd (coefficient of drag) of 0.29, a number not bettered on production cars for many decades. Both cars had the 440 Magnum as standard equipment, with the 2X4-BBl 426 Hemi as the only engine option. I preferred the hemi as the 440 had a tendency to “bog” on launch. The Daytona set a world closed-course record of 200.45 MPH at Talladega, Alabama in March, 1970, in a car that had been stolen on the streets of Los Angeles and recovered by the LAPD.
I personally road in a hemi in Los Angeles, one with a holly three on it, and we went from 50 to 140 on a freeway on ramp. (And burned a quarter tank of gas)

It's hard to explain... you see, the best chassis is mid-engine, one of the best bang-for-buck muscle engines is an LS-X (LS-3, LS-7, LS-9)... you know, easy 500+ horsepower, aluminum, $19.00 oil changes...
Well, to cut to the chase, just look...
I'm a fan of German cars and American muscle... these guys took the best muscle car engine and paired it up with the best sports car design ever built (that's a daily driver and within most budgets.)
Voila... pure Sacrilege !
ENJOY!
1969 Ford Torino GT Fastback in candy apple red, 390 4V with Cragars and dual Thrush! Much fun! Back in the late 70’s!

Of course, I’m also the former owner of a ‘69 Camaro... after going through 3 engines, I sold it.
1965 Cobra SCJ....sold it when the first
kid was born....
1970 Dodge Challenger with a 340 and a six pack
1967 Mustang Fastback with any eight cylinder engine souped up.
An early ‘66 HP2 426-Hemi, 4-speed Plymouth Belvedere I pillar coupe preferably in all black paint. No stripes, just those tiny little “HP2” emblems on each fender. No fancy wheels, just those plain-jane, granny-style, Plymouth dog-dish hubcaps. Only thing giving this bad boy away would be that unique “bad to the bone” rumble of the big Hemi thru those sewer-sized exhaust pipes.....a sleeper car of it’s day. Yeah, that one would probably be pretty high on my list of all-time favorites. :)
While not really a muscle car it was in the spirit.
I had a ‘76 crew-cab dually with a 454 in it. Those trucks came stock with 4:56 rear ends.
Have a muscle car of the day pull up alongside at a stop. Stall check it and off at the light. It would beat most of them to 45-50MPH and a few of the newer smogged ones past that.
That old truck was quite the sleeper.
