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

Okay, here are some more of the 1963 Ford Falcon Futura. It's got an engine from a 1966 Mustang, according to the guy who sold it. It's a 200ci inline 6. I think this has the 3-speed "Cruise-O-Matic" automatic transmission.
The engine original to the Falcon was a 6 cyl. 170ci. An 8 cylinder was made available the second half of 1963; before then, all Falcons had 6 cylinder engines. Does it qualify as maybe a psuedo-pony-muscle-cruiser car? Or the baby sister thereof? Bill, your turn! |

Love that car... Here's an example of a car that was rarer than most muscle cars yet obviously less desireable today. '67 Maluibu 4 door hardtop. One of only 2,650 made. 30,000 original miles. Unmolested original with all documentation, sales, protect-o-plate etc.. I was the second owner. My great aunt was the first. Sold it last week. The guy drove up from New Jersey to pick it up. I never used it. In the 11 years I owned it I put less than 2,000 miles on it. Since 2008 I put 200 miles on it. I just hope the guy who has it now keeps it original, takes good care of it and treats it with respect. There's no way to know. I can only hope.

Bill, congratulations on selling the Malibu - hope you were pleased with the deal. Those "survivor" cars are so desirable among many collectors - if he were wise he'd keep it Old School... it's truly a find!

All are beautiful....but if I was going to add something I didn't have, that mid year is a jewel!! I would really like a mid year, split window coupe....of course it would have to be blue....
For Lisa..a muscle car can be a newer model car that is designed to drag race. The GN only has a turbo 6 motor, but my husband's car is a 10 second beast. There are not many muscle cars left. Sports cars are designed to handle a road course with speed and style. Corvettes and Vipers still manage to be in both the muscle car and sports car categories....no mater their age. The cars include a 2006 Viper SRT 10 Coupe 2002 Corvette Z06 1987 Buick Grand National 1972 Buick GS 455 We also have a 2006 1 ton single rear wheel Dodge Cummins, Laramie, 4wd and a 2009 2 door, 4wd, Jeep Wrangler....

So far the Camaro's and the 442 are the only "Muscle Cars" I see thus far. While the others may be faster, do they constitute true muscle cars?
And a TRUCK?! Muscle truck?! |

Muscle applies to Horsepower and torque as related to the ability to run a straight line. Sports cars are usually defined as related to speed and manueverablity around a track. The Corvettes and Vipers have a tire in each category. Go when you are ready, I have run a perfect light and would be happy to show you exactly what muscle is..... Most people who take a ride with me don't want back in the car, unless they are speed junkies....

I guess it depends on your definition. I'm with the 1960s-70s "pre oil-crisis" school of thought!

Not technically a "Muscle Car", but she has 384hp and 421 feet/torque and is around a 4.0 second 0-60mph. SO bring on those gas guzzling V8s
ps, on my trip to LA ( 1500 miles) I averaged 29US MPG's and I don't want to post my average speed, but it was at least the speed limit down the I5.
