I’ve had 26 cars over the course of my life (53 now) ranging from absolute junk to some very nice wheels.

My favorite of all of them is a tie between two:

1967 Mustang GT 390 (OMG!) and 1971 Mustang Mach One (351 Cleveland, worked)

The 390 was a beast. That motor was unbelievably powerful for that light car. Miss it.

The Mach One was heavier, and very fast as well, but the 390 was a killer.

Also had a 1968 Mustang GT which I never got on the road, and parted out when the kids were born.

My FIRST car (after I wrecked the family Plymouth Valiant) was a 1969 Chevelle SS convertible, with 396 in it.

Miss the muscle car days.

But - that being said - I love what Dodge did with the Challenger and Charger, and the new retro Mustangs are beautiful.

love the new challenger....

the charger should have been 2 door and be a retro, so I am not crazy about it...but I did like the magnum station wagon.

my wife has one of the first years of the retro mustangs(06)with v6, it has balls for a 6. the 2015 mustang concepts are real nice looking....

there is talk of a new Barracuda from Chrysler. there are some concept cars suppose to be the new barracuda...what I would do is retro the 67-70 cuda body style....

“Miss the muscle car days.”

Why? They can’t hold a candle to today’s muscle cars.

Even a stock Mustang GT will blow the doors off of most of them and the handling is NO comparison.
