Apparently couldn't find a GM or Chrysler product that looked like good ol' badass American iron.

 :rotf:

Yeah, a Camero, 'Vette, or Charger was out of the question.  They TOOK our money, but not Ford. 

I may still own some GM products, but ALL of them were built before 2009.

Sorry, DAT, but if your looking for the coolest Camaro ever, it's the '69 or nothing.



The baddest 1st gen muscle car ever?  The 1970 Chevelle SS.



The thought of a curtain hanging, skinny assed, metrosexual communist ever sitting behind the wheel of a Shelby GT 500?

I liked that mid-60s solid, more-sqared looks, what can I say?  If that's your style though, you must've really liked the Challenger, which had a pretty good claim to badassitude itself!

I like the extra gingerbread on the '67 Firebird.

What surprised me was how *small* the first-gen Camaro/Firebird is.

The baddest 1st gen 2nd gen muscle car ever?  The 1970 Chevelle SS.


The 1st gen was the 1964 Chevelle

I watched a show on Nat Geo channel a few months ago called Ultimate Factories.  On this episode they were showing how the new Dodge Challenger is built.  They started with the Hemi engine being built in a factory in mexico and showed how it was shipped to the car factory in Canada for assembly.  Pretty sad how this once American built muscle car is now produced outside the U.S.  Way to go, u.a.w...

Even VP Joe Biden has gone "muscle"...he traded his hoverround for an E-Z-GO.

Yes, sir, I most certainly did.  Love the 69 Charger R/T as well.

You're absolutely right, my mistake.   :whistling:

It suspect it could be popping because of  [http://wallpapersgallery.net] which was a Red X  for me in the earlier post.  As soon as I tried that site outside the thread MW also tripped.

My last Camaro wasn't a true muscle car but it is what it was and I thought it was cool.

My last one was a 1992 25th Annv. edition . Red with black racing stripes and all the badging that came with it.




The one before that was a Black 1988 RS.



And my first one , a rark red 1988 RS  that I had for only 6 month because some ass I loaded it to crashed it into 30 feet of guardrail and totaled it
