I have a 2013 Challenger Hemi R/T like #30 on the left. Same hood with the rally spoiler, all black.

For a while the Challenger was my favorite muscle car, but then I came to appreciate the Baracuda more, and now it's my favorite. The '71 is the best of the best: four headlights and the fish gills on the front quarter panel.

Everybody loves the Hemi motor, but there was an embarrassment of great motors available: 340, 383, 440, and the 427 Hemi. I think the 340 six-pack was the one that won the Car and Driver shootout of the era, and the one used in TransAm racing, which had a 350cc displacement limit. Drag racers, then as now, liked the big block motors though. The 440 sixpack is legendary.

I also like 1970 Mustang Mach1's and early body style Cameros, and the Dodge Charger has been growing on me...

Hey, where is my 1969 Satellite? It had the small block 318 that could kick 350 Cameros’ butts!!

It hydraulic lifters so there were no tappets.

Ah, the good old days when you could WORK on a car!

Great photos, but not one shot of the gorgeous "Ramcharger" intake manifold setup of the mid-sixties.

Always wondered just how effective those were. Sure looked like they made working on the engine hard.

Anyone here remember how much the AMC Marlin resembled the 67 Charger?

This is the Charger used on USA Network's "Burn Notice".

Nice stuff, but I always thought those Roadrunners with the tall spoilers were about the stupidest looking cars to come out of that era.

One of my friend in High School had a 1971 Plymouth Cuda. With a 318 V8. Purple with a white vynal top. He swapped out the 318 for a 383 with dual carbs.

Oh Man!

Another of my friends had a mom who drove a '71 Satellite Wagon. Very cool wagon! But I'd settle for the 2-door.

Growing up, I and my friends had muscle cars. My ‘68 Opel (which isn’t a muscle car) made my friends’ cars sweat.

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.
