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 Mustang was restyled for 1967, getting bigger in the process and adding its first big-block engine, a 390-cubic-inch 320-horsepower V8. Shelby responded with the GT-500, which added the Police Interceptor 428-cubic-inch V8 rated conservatively at 355 horsepower. Motor Trend magazine posted a 6.2-second zero-to-60 mph time and a 15.42-second quarter-mile run. Other changes included a roll bar, standard power steering and brakes, functional scoops on the sides and roof, and a fiberglass trunk lid. As with all Shelbys, limited production makes it very collectible today.
