    Top 10 fastest "muscle cars" from the early 1970s.

    Interestingly, most of these cars cost about $4500-$4800. In today's dollars, that's about $35K. A notable exception was the ZR2 Corvette - that was about $7800.

    Restored, or pristine, some of these cars go for more than $350K today.

    The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

      That was a cool trip down memory lane. 👍

      My experience with muscle cars was a 1970 Pontiac GTO, although it was not the "Judge RamAir" version. White exterior with a light blue interior.

      Bought it used in 1972 for $2500 with around 21,000 miles on it. A 400 c.i. engine with a 4 barrel holley carb and an automatic turbo hydrostatic tranny that would lay rubber in all 3 gears.

      That car was the fastest I ever drove a car at 122 mph on the interstate.

      I loved that car.

      Yes, there are two paths you can go by, but in the long run, there's still time to change the road you're on.
