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.
They don’t get nearly as much attention as the ’69-70 versions, but the later Mach 1 Mustangs are still cool cars in our book. That goes double if they happen to be a cool ’70s shade like Joe Stubitsch’s Grabber Lime ’71. Only 1,933 Machs were ever sprayed that color, so they’re always eye-catching at a show. Under that long hood, Joe went with a 351 Cleveland with Procomp 3V heads and intake, and a COMP Cams Big Mutha Thumpr cam. Not only does it sound beastly, but it throws 380 hp to the wheels through an AOD trans with a 2,800-stall converter. So far we’ve only seen one Mustang of this generation that has undergone a pro build (and you’ll see it in PHR soon), but it could be the start of something new as people continue to look for ways to be different.
