The 400 and 455 HO Trans Am were like bad ass slot cars

[@Fred-wy4ix]

My first car was a 65 GTO with a 389 3 x 2 Carb backed by a 4 speed transmission

[@BobbyOfEarth]

Mine was a red 1964 Olds 442 (4spd), with the 310 hp 330 rocket engine.

[@georgegbalzano9239]

ANY year Chevelle from 1964-1972 is AWESOME!! Have owned all the even years (except for '66): '64, '68, ''70, and '72. None were SS, and the '64 was a 6 cyl, but the rest were 2dr with V8's Loved them ALL!

[@joegotz1971]

67 Chevelle, 283 bored to 292 with 11:1 pistons and a high lift cam, hooker headers, Muncie 4 speed. SS 396 springs up front and station wagon springs in the rear. A car I should have never sold along with many others.

[@jeffreystahoski23]

I agree.

I paid $800 cash for my first car when I was 15. A 1966 Chevelle/ Malibu 327/ power glide in 1971. The car was in near new condition. I still think it's the prettiest car Chevrolet ever built.

[@augustoneto8746]

Muito bom 👍

[@BobbyOfEarth]

My friends and l spent our teen years wearing out the grandstands at Fremont drag strip, from 1966 thru 1972, where we personally watched the evolution of factory muscle cars. And in terms of looks and performance, and in spite of Chevrolet propaganda, after their L88 Corvettes, the big dog on the block was the Buick 455 stage 2... not the SS 454

[@MohammedSuarez-ou8wp]

I don't believe you Don't make me get the lie detector out

[@beltonite2243]

Facts

[@woodyw6891]

I thought the big dogs were the Hemi cars.

[@BobbyOfEarth]

@@woodyw6891 In the mid 1960's, the car manufacturers would ship a muscle car to their choice of magazine for them to test and publish the results. In the late 1960's thru 1970's, the car manufacturers would ship a "pre-prepared" muscle car to their choice of magazine, along with two factory tuners. And with Pomona drag strip already scheduled for an entire week, the tuners would work tirelessly to set the fastest possible ET..

[@DavidCrisp-rv7js]

My grandmother had a 1965 Ford Fairlane 500, it was just on the property where I grew up, didn't know the story behind it, had the red interior though it was beautiful, and I don't know what they did with it after I moved out

[@robertdixon620]

The (1964 thu 1966) 442 Oldsmobile was not mentioned in the article. 15:25 The 400 cubic inch (tri-power) was very competitive.

[@BobbyOfEarth]

In 1971, when my highschool friends saw that I bought my uncles red 1964 442 Olds (4spd), with the 310 hp 330 rocket engine, they called my grandmas car... One of them had a 1969 Boss 302, the other, a 1969 383 Roadrunner, both of whom, couldn't believe that l beat them 3 out 3 at Fremont drag strip.

[@2jones2u]

I HAD a 1966, tri-powered, positive traction with 456, with borg warner T-`10, transmission. ran goos, souned great

[@ride4speedrr53]

Chevelle SS is my favourite.

[@robertdixon620]

What happened to the mid 60s Oldsmobile (tri power)?

[@enigma9971]

My dad had a Dodge Coronet before I was born and he told me he never lost a race with it.

[@scotmandel6699]

because he never won a race either.

[@chadhaire1711]

that was the fake gross rating......actual was only 350 net horsepower

[@DavidCrisp-rv7js]

Back in 1983 84 I worked at a Chevy dealership, we had a 60 something Camaro come in, and it had what looked like surgical tubing by the back tires, we were laughing and joking, now I see what kind of car that really was, we thought the guy did that so he could do good spin-outs, wow

Why NOT the 68 Pontiac firebird 400 , I had one , WHY NOT IN THIS VIDEO!!!!! , WHY NOT !!!! .

WHY ? Camaros, Mustangs, Firebirds aren't musclecars..They are Pony Cars..I doubt the author even knows that, though.

1st car 1967 Mustang 289 hipo, 4spd, aftermarket ac, got for 16th birthday Dec 1969. I have no idea top speed, I do know it would do 125mph. Loved that car

What you lying for now come on you aint gotta do that

[@RDBean]

@mohamed, no lie, had 70k on odemeter, paid $1k for(Dad gave me half), sold it for 600 in 74 & tried to buy it back at least 10x in 80s. To this day the man I sold it to still has it

[@RDBean]

@mohammed, if you are refering to front end float at high speed, put weight inside front qtr,panels over tires, that helped a lot

[@RDBean]

@ muhammedsuarez, since you started by calling me a liar, got to ask, are you muslim or Catholic? I'm mostly Scot/Irish decent born/raised in Alabama, retired to Panama in 2015, wife of 38yrs from here.

Good reason they weren’t that good

[@tylertkelley6779]

What technically: i.e. era, ci. GVW, length, seat config etc. Is the definition of 'Muscle-Car? It seems, by contemporary stds. to be an heavily watered-down definition? Love the Cars, just do not understand the parameters of the stated nomenclature.

There is nothing on the road today to rival most of these incredible automobiles. The beautiful styling stopped mid 70's. After that some safety crazed lunatic ruined the elegance and style by making everything look the same. As for the reduction in horsepower and size?...... lunacy.

[@edwardmylnychuk5774]

as an oldy i would agree, if i won a million dollars i would not buy any pile of crap made today even though some of the sports cars look nice but toooooooo much electronic crap for me. give me the 60s , 70s and 80s stuff thank you

[@chadhaire1711]

BULLSHIT..those old cars were crap.....weak brakes, lousy suspensions, gas guzzlers, poor build quality, rusted bodies, and the horsepower ratings were OVER RATED by 20% on average. A 1970 426 was advertised at 425 hp gross but is only 350 hp net....a 2024 Dodge 5.7 puts out more at 375 net. And the newer cars are far more reliable.

[@carolinacoins]

@@chadhaire1711 You are miss informed. The 375 hp 396 was dyno tested at over 500 hp. Most of the muscle cars were de rated for insurance purposes.

[@chadhaire1711]

@@carolinacoins LOL///no 396 stock was ever putting out 500 hp--total bullshit. No engines were ever under rated for insurance..another myth. They were OVER RATED to sell cars by using the fake Gross method. HP reading with belts, air filter, muffler, and accessories removed was 375 GROSS. Put all those items back on and it comes to 305 net. Same with 440-6 at 390 gross, but 325 Net. After 1971 ALL gross ratings were banned and only net numbers were allowed and all numbers were changed as in LOWERED in the parts catalog. 396 was sold as 375, 350, and 325. real NET was changed 305, 275, and 255. Stop spreading old fairy tales.

[@chadhaire1711]

@@carolinacoins YOU are misinformed Goober. No 396 ever did 500 hp on a dyno. No car maker ever under rated for insurance. The stock dyno was 375 GROSS and with muffler, belts, air filter 0nly 310 net with those items back on.. Get your facts right.

All these older cars were crap....horsepower was over rated by 20%, and the had weak brakes, lousy handling, garbage build quality, and fell apart. The newer muscle cars are better in every way.

[@ChrisT-sr4ft]

And by the way new cars are ugly and much more expensive

[@chadhaire1711]

@@ChrisT-sr4ft Bullshit..no engine was ever under rated for insurance or at all. They were OVER RATED by 20% using the fake GROSS system that was banned after the 1971 model year. You have no idea what you are talking about. 440-6 was rated at 390 but was only 325 NET.

[@robertpuleo1203]

You don’t know what you’re talking about! Stupid comment for cars of that era

[@geneczimskey8523]

I wouldn't say they were crap, after all, they're still modeling the new muscle cars after the old ones. And your right about the brakes and handling but you have to remember...that was 60 years ago. Technology has improved a little. Also your so called new muscle cars are all supercharged to get that power😊
