Car Polls Round 1: Your favorite classic American pony and muscle cars and why?

[Dotini]

I owned and drove a '68 Camaro Z28 for a few years, so I'll vote for that, for sure.

 

[bremics]

No Torino, Javelin or Cutlass?

 

[TexRex]

No Torino, Javelin or Cutlass?

Right? Instead we essentially got duplicates. Though, to be fair, Cutlass is an A-body like the Chevelle.

 

[Casey]

My first is the 1967-1970 Mercury Cougar and my second is the 1970-1974 Chevrolet Camaro.

 

[TenEightyOne]

The Charger for me, it's a Dukes of Hazzard thing I guess

Shame the '69 Mustang isn't there - surely that's definitive too? Then my vote would have been harder to place...

EDIT: I was sure it wasn't there... did you add it @The87Dodge ?

 

[Dolph Drago]

As much as I like the craziness of the Super Bird, there's just something about that Charger...

 

[squadops]

'67 camaro ss, because I have personal experience with a few, easy to work on or drop any small block in, smart looks.

 

[ScottPuss20]

I really like the Charger because it just looks bad (or should I say mean?) and has everything you need to make a statement on the road.

 

[MOPARbarrett5]

I voted Charger because

 

[Adamgp]

I'll go for the Cougar.

 

[Akwaaba]

Nice idea.

I'm from UK so are are a little rare/unusual and I don't know anything about how any of them drive or handle. Went for 70-74 Camaro, but would probably prefer the Firebird of that era.

 

[Leadfoot530]

Before reading though the thread, I was going to say a '65 Mustang, or to be more specific, a '65 Shelby GT350, with Le Mans Blue stripes over the Wimbeldon White, but alas, I suppose it's a pony car.

Ah well.

Out of the list, I'd probably go with the '69-'70 Ford Mustang. Something about those body styles just grabs me. I guess it's the fact that they look so much more agressive than the ones from five (and 1/2) and 6 (and 1/2) year before them. I much prefer the rear decklid on the one shown over the Mach 1's though. I've never liked how the slope fell all the way to the rear of the car. Gotta have a flat section in there. That, and the louvers are just so cool!

Is there a specific name for the variation in the rear decklid between, say, the Boss 302-esc and Mach 1's?

 

[Tyger]

Charger for me. Just love that loooong body shape, the sound of one idling when running well (though perhaps that's not enough to differentiate it), the front with the hidden lights. Looks best in black. Second would be the Cougar. Would have liked to have seen some earlier Mustangs though.

 

[synchromesh]

I love the 'Cuda and its raw, bang for your buck image more than the Challenger. It's a great car in my opinion too.

 

[MatskiMonk]

I felt like I ought to go for Charger, but I went for Challenger... I guess I'm more Vanishing Point than I am Dirty Mary, Crazy Larry.

 

[All Your Base]

The answer is always Superbird.

On the run from dirty Harry? lol

I know I'm silly, it's a beastie boy lyric and I could not help it "I couldn't help but notice I was caught in a speed trap
Dirty Mary Crazy Larry on the run from Dirty Harry" lol

 

[Cano]

1970 'Cuda. That year only as from then on it got busier and uglier. From that list, I think it's by far the most beautiful and cool car.

Sadly, the list doesn't include a 1971 Trans Am, nor a 1970 GTO.

 

[opelgt1969]

I would have to say a 66 Camaro since it would be the rarest of all.


The first year for the Camaro was 1967!
