I've got this, it's an SLP car.

and this
but it wouldn't be accurate to call the Vette a muscle car. I love the looks of it but the performance is pitiful.
I had a 1966 Chevelle SS396 convertible but a guy made an offer for it that I couldn't refuse.

Nice!!!

My parents had a 67 Camaro RS that they purchased new. Navy blue with the stripe around the nose. First ride I ever got was in that car as a newborn coming home from the hospital.

How would you define a "muscle" car, guys?

The era? The engine size? I'd always thought the term referred to the mid- to late-1960s and early 70s American cars... before the "oil crisis."

Kaya - I knew you'd be here!

Lisa I will say it's the engine size, not the era.

6 cylinders dosen't counts.

Not real US muscle cars, but here in France, it is what was the most equivalent to US muscles...

Ok so it's not technically a 'muscle' car, It's one really sweet ride and it definitely deserves a pic. Please post.

Lisa you don't need a muscle car, you will steal the attention from it anyway.

I guess you are the crusier type too.

I bought my 70 Challenger RT Convertible sixpack brand new and sold it (not out of weakness) 6 month later. It was just another car back then.
