What muscle car would you buy?

My first car was a ‘66 mustang convertible. Sadly, or fortunately, it was the 6cyl.  

Foghorn

1963 Corvette.

Was out of town earlier this week and had to rent a car.  Booked an economy car online for $26 per day.  Asked for an upgrade and she gave me this Dodge Challenger for the same price...  Loads of fun to drive, but I'll stick with my CRV thank you.

My mom drove a 69 SS and my dad had a 67 RS when I was in high school. Cool cars wish they hadn’t sold them.

I have a cousin who is looking to move his 68 sting Ray and an uncle looking to sell his 63 sting Ray. He is the 2nd owner of the car.

@DoubleEgger has one bad azz Camaro that I’ve never been in.

Virgin back seats add to the resale value.

Thanks for trying to keep this one on track John, but it's not working buddy.

John is king derailer, but this thread tripped his trigger.  Maybe he is trying to decide too?

I wonder which one Trump would pick?

Haha I guess I should have been more clear. I’m wanting a modern version of those cars. Not one from the 1960s or 1970s. Those are completely awesome but I like the idea of modern amenities. If I could have any old muscle car it would be a 1960s Charger.

Trump would pick the one that was well done, with ketchup.

For the newer ones, it would have to be the Challenger.
Followed by Mustang.
Then Camaro.

Sorry.  One last thing.
70 Cutlass makes the cut. 

JohnInCarolina

By the way, I don’t so much derail, as do I take things in slightly different, more interesting tangents.  Generally.  At least, that’s always the goal.

They do resto mods now. My parents bought a 62’ corvette resto mod recent that was all original outside and all modern everywhere else.

You were clear.  The only one you included the word “used” on was the Stingray.  These jackbutts just can’t READ.

@Lit- is resto only limited to inanimate objects??  Asking for a friend who has a SWMBO that could use a serious rewind.

With animate objects, the procedures are called “vagina tightenings”.  Or so I’ve heard.

Heated seats are crucial.

I’d take a used Cadillac CTS-V over any of the newer models that were mentioned. It surely fits the bill of American muscle.

This was my choice. It's a 2010 RT Classic. My first car was a 1970 Challenger SE with a 318 in 1974.  We took the 318 out and dropped a 383 Mag. in. Loved that first car. This one is great and would run circles around the 1970 but it's just not the same. I was then and still am now a MOPAR person.

Those are serious cars.  It’s still bizarre to me that Cadillac is making them.

Agreed. Those 4 door sedans are awesome.m though. Performance out the wazoo and you can take your friends and family with you.
