American Muscle

Tough, masculine and high performance – Those are just some of the words used to describe the classic muscle car. There are no automotive products that is more unique than the American muscle car, and is considered as some of the finest examples when American vehicle production was at its peak.

American Muscle 

While the rest of the world fettled with small, sporty 4 cylinder engines in the 1960’s, over in the United States of America, powerful V8 engines were being stuffed under the hoods of coupes and convertibles. It was an instant hit amongst the youth market, with performance, power and its physical prowess the main attractions.

Back in the day the streets were filled with these beasts, with the grumbling sound of its V8 ready to race.When you hear or think of the word “American Muscle” examples like the Dodge Charger, Chevrolet Camaro and the Ford Shelby Mustang GT500 immediately spring to mind. Power, speed and performance will always be associated with an old school American muscle car- there is no doubt about that.

Ford Mustang

When you look at muscle cars produced today, it just doesn’t have the same meaning and tradition it did back in the 1960’s. For instance, if the modern day version of a Ford Mustang is released it would most probably be met with reactions like “Oh, is there a new Mustang out?” or “I wonder how fast this one is.” An older Mustang would certainly scream attention and break a few necks with its appearance and sound even though it might not have the latest technology. Even today many petrol heads consider the cars from the 1960’s as true muscle cars.

Chevrolet Muscle Car 

American muscle cars have taken an even bigger significance ever since the very first The Fast and the Furious movie was released. Dominic Toretto (Vin Diesel’s character in the movie), is the brains behind the machine, showcasing the raw power and performance of his muscle car – the 69’ Dodge Charger.

Not everyone is into American muscle but a quick blip on the go faster pedal will definitely sway a few opinions after hearing the roar of the V8.

Classic muscle cars are pretty amazing pieces of machinery. One that is restored and in mint condition is worth a lot of money. As the years tick on, there are fewer and fewer muscle cars roaming around which makes them even more valuable to collectors and enthusiasts alike.They are very much like Dinosaurs, once the rulers of the road but have faded away over time.
