Tuesday Top Five: Muscle Cars

by

69 Camaro

I’ve had muscle cars on the brain recently, not for any particular reason other than that I was searching for something and found a line item in Google about a vintage ‘cuda selling for upwards of $2,000,000. Even for a hot car, that’s some serious change.

Retro-inspired neo-classic muscle cars are featured offerings at Ford, Dodge and Chevrolet this year, as they have been for the last couple, sparking two kinds of controversy: the first, are these modern muscles worth collecting (purists say no)? The second issue is: should we be buying things that are so totally the antitheses of modern green-thinking technology? What good is horsepower if the air outside your windows is toxic to human life?

Whatever side of the issues you fall on (and we’d love to hear your perspective), we thought we’d share a list of the top five muscle cars from a “price increase since the year 2000″ point of view, as of last year’s Kelley Blue Book:

  1. 1971 Plymouth “Hemi” ‘Cuda convertible.
  2. 1969 Dodge Charger R/T-440 hardtop.
  3. 1969 Chevrolet Camaro Z-28/SS coupe.
  4. 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS-454/LS-6 convertible
  5. 1964 Shelby Cobra 289 roadster

    Is a shame the polution of the car, but i think is possible to put on it an ecological motor, for example a GNC motor.

    This car is the best made ever¡¡

    regards¡¡
