I'll do a separate thread for each of GM muscle cars at another time (Pontiac, Chevy, Olds, etc).

>>Wasn’t the GTX a top of the line Satellite?<<

I never thought of that — it makes sense but I would have to do some checking...

My ‘68 Opel (which isn’t a muscle car) made my friends’ cars sweat.

When I was young I built a plastic model of a (Buick) Opel dragster.

The owner of a screaming orange GTO Judge in my hometown never got over the fact that my ‘66 Caprice could blow the doors off his Pontiac hotty. My 396 was advertised at 375 horsepower. It was probably closer to 475.
GM, in those days, wanted to escape insurance company scrutiny...

The 65-66-67 Goats were screamers.

I had a '66 for a few years back in the 80s. 4 barrel carb, I replaced the two-speed for a Turbo 400, and it made a huge difference. That car would get 21 mpg if driven properly (constant 75 mph). On one road trip I averaged 13.5 mpg cruising at 110 mph.

Another of my friends had a mom who drove a '71 Satellite Wagon. Very cool wagon!

Something like numbers 15-17 above?

My brother had a GTO around that time, maybe a little later. They were great and fast cars. I had a 69 firebird I loved. 350 engine; but a few I think had the 425 engine.

My folks had a ‘62-’63 Buick Riviera huge engine and a weird transmission (no shift). That car could fly but back end got squirrely at 100+ Mph. Cement bags in the trunk helped that.

They don’t make them like those anymore. My wish list for autos is a 1914 Pope Hartford, a ‘54 Ford Skyliner and a 64 Ford Galaxie among others.

Now I hear that Maddie has been blown up.... can’t put her back together.
