Celebrating the coolest cars ever made, nothing like the sound of that engine when you turn that key.
Muscle car is an American term used to refer to a variety of high-performance automobiles. The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines muscle cars as "any of a group of American-made 2-door sports cars with powerful engines designed for high-performance driving." A large V8 engine is fitted in a 2 or 4 door, rear wheel drive, family-style full-size car designed for four or more passengers. Sold at an affordable price, muscle cars are intended for street use and occasional drag racing. They are distinct from two-seat sports cars and expensive 2+2 GTs intended for high-speed touring and road racing.
The first true performance Mustang was the GT-350, which was prepared by Carroll Shelby's shop in Venice, Calif., for racing in the Sports Car Club of America's B-Production class. Only 562 were built that first year, and they all started as white fastbacks with a 289-cubic-inch V8 engine and 4-speed manual transmission. Shelby increased horsepower from 271 to 306 and added adjustable Koni shocks, stiffer suspension, larger brakes, quicker steering and a tower brace. The rear seat was removed, and the body received blue stripes and a fiberglass hood with an air scoop.
