Muscle Cars Of 70s - Most Powerful Muscle Car Era

[@giggetto1851]

Classic muscle cars of the '60s and '70s were and still are the best looking muscle cars of the world.

[@paladin0654]

Since I lived through it, and owned one, I'd say the most powerful muscle car era was the '60s. The '70s brought the end to muscle cars in '72 with the Arab oil embargo. I owned a '69 428 Torino Cobra Jet, stickered at 335 horse, more like 385-400.

[@kristoffersparegodt420]

I think so too, the only powerful year of the 70s was 1970 right? I mean I'm only 16 so I unfortunately didn't live through it, but I am going to buy myself a classic muscle car

"Super Bee has it's basis in the 'B' Boy designation pertinent to Chrysler's mid-size cars..." Crazy to think these where considered "mid-size". My 23 year old mom had a 68 impala with a 283 with a three on the tree when I was around 5. Oh, how I wish I still had some of the cars id did have... 66 GTO, 68-69 Chevy Malibu's, 72 Road Runner, 69 Nova 396 75, 82, 84, 85 Camaros, and currently a 96 LT1 CE vette. The most amazing part of the car story is, now 700 HP, super-chargers and turbo-charges are factory. I used to druel over Hot Rod magazine and camshafts and heads and pistons, and short-blocks when I was 16, nd now factory is giving us monsters. The "Golden Age" muscles cars is now. Who'd a ever thunk it?

No disrespect to Challengers, Chargers, Mustangs, and Camaros forefathers, but most powerful? No. Nothing that is stock from that era puts out the kind of power of today. You have Demons pushing 840hp/770trq, Red Eyes and Super Stock hovering 800, Shelby GT500SE at 825. Hellcats and Shelby GT500(not the 500SE) at over 700 and the Camaro pushing over 600. Hell, the crate Hellaphant is over 1000. I’m sorry but stock modern technology puts out much more power. I think the 60s muscle cars were actually more powerful. Love that era of the beginning of the muscle wars from the late 60s to mid 70s, though.

Love the sound of those big blocks idling. The starters on the 70s Firebirds were too close to the exhaust, causing them to get too hot and had to be replaced regularly. They did come out with an in-effective heat shield for the starter. So Pontiac was aware of the problem. The red white and blue 1976 AMC Rambler Scramblers with the Hurst shifter were also pretty cool. The Cordobas had a problem with the tail light boxes falling out.

After 1970 muscle cars dropped in power every year through the 1980s. These days however modern muscle cars put out a lot more power than any of those cars did even at the peak in 1969-70. The quickest 1970 stock muscle cars would do a high 13-second quarter mile. That's really not very quick today.

[@garrisonnichols807]

The 1973 and 74 Pontiac Trans Am with the 455 Super Duty V8 was the fastest during the 1970s unlike the smog motors with low compression ratios and terrible horsepower ratings the Super Duty was actually a race engine that was set up to run 13 second quarter mile times right from the factory.
