'71 426-Hemi Barracuda

I forgot the 'Cuda in my haste, actually a better looking car than the Challenger. Not to mention the absolute hammer down ferocity that accompanies the phrase, "Hemi 'Cuda".

Those early 389 GTO's are still gorgeous cars also, they got a little bloated by the mid 70's.

Amazing how almost all of the truly great muscle cars were made between 1965-1971.

Imagine if the oil crisis hadn't brought us miracles like the Gremlin, Pacer and Pinto?

Oh, and the Vega, I can't believe I forgot the VEGA.

Yeah, it was gas prices that did 'em all in, I think. And rising insurance prices are gradually killing off their latter-day (inferior) replacements like your Firebirds and Mustangs. Sigh.

The '71 'Cuda was really the last and best of the breed. There's something special about that car...
