Ok guys, by old Muscle Cars I meant cars built between 1964 and 1973. Apparently I'm not the only one who thinks the Shelby 427 Cobra was a Muscle Car.

According to the book, Muscle Car Greats by Peter C. Sessler and publishers of MuscleCars Magazine the Muscle Car Era began with the '64 GTO.

I liked the over/under headlights on my 65 Goat. Maintained the 64 stance, but the more popular was the new style in 66. But I loved the power of that sixpac
This may be a tad embelished, but how I remember her:

Red Star and Red Baron, as I said in my post "by many." I am partial to the 49 olds, because my dad had one. It was the first modern v-8 to be fitted into a mid size car. Sound familiar GTO fans? Red Star has a point with the first ford flat head. Though these were "hot rodded", not necessarily a factory hot rod or muscle car. Thats the great thing, we each can have our own opinion. By the way, I'm 49 years old and I've never heard of Sessler. LOL
