streetfire Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 Hi guys. As you can see, I come from the land down under, where it rains beer. Also happens to be the land of the muscle car. People interested in muscle cars, be they Aussie or Yank, come and chat about anything to do with them. By 'muscle car' I mean stuff pre-1978, that's when the muscle car truly died. They ended with the HZ Monaro and XC Cobra... Oh, and no rice burners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lurchseesu420 Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 (edited) I wouldn't say Muscle Cars died in 78. For the most part they died in the early 70's. But Muscle Cars have still been on and off ever since then. The 87 Buick GNX and any other Grand National (even if they do have turbo V6's) The 85-88 Oldsmobile 442 The 83-88 SS Monte Carlo And the SS Aerocoupe The 94-96 SS Impala The 78 Dodge Aspen Kit Car (as goofy as it looks, its 360 4 barrel made it quite a performer) The 78-79 Dodge Lil' Red Express Truck (a Muscle Truck) But as classic Muscle Cars go, my favorite will always be the 1970 Dodge Challenger T/A Edited February 1, 2008 by lurchseesu420 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stingray. Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 ^ Those are some awesome looking cars over there! My favorite muscle car is the 1969 Dodge Charger R/T. Also love the 1967 Mustang Fastback boystyle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

streetfire Posted February 2, 2008 Author Share Posted February 2, 2008 (edited) Time for some Aussie cars. This here is the Holden Torana A9X, this is a race version but you could get it without decals. Ran a 308, M21 4-speed and Salisbury LSD out back, was easily the best handling muscle car of all time. Here is the Torana SLR/5000, similar to the A9X but it was a sedan, and didn't handle as good. Looks horn though. Possibly the king of Aussie muscle cars, the Holden Monaro GTS... mmm. Another legend, the Falcon GTHO Phase III (long name, but even longer winning streak). Ran a 351, top-loader and 9-inch, a bloody tough car in all aspects. Holden VK SS Group 3, was basically a race car for the road. De-stroked 308, now to 304ci to meet Touring Car requirements. I know it's not a real-deal muscle car like I said because it was built in 1984, but it kept the performance of earlier muscle cars. And last but not least, the E38 Charger R/T - yes, we had our own Chargers Down Under in the '70s. The only true muscle car to run a six-cylinder, the Charger used a 265 Hemi (4.3 litre) slant six, and was pretty damn good at the circuit. Bagga Rabbit, bloody nice car mate! Did you sell it or something? Edited February 2, 2008 by streetfire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
