Damn, hold old are you? rofl. That was my mother's first car! (brand new) Though her 66 Mustang was yellow.

How old???!! My first car was a 1951 flathead Ford coupe with 3 on the column. My next was a 52 Chevy coupe then a really nice 54 Chevy Belair rag top with two tone red/white paint.

I had a buddy down the street who's dad owned a used car lot. He used to have a mint condition 1955 Chevy Deluxe that he kept in the garage. Everytime he left the garage door open, someone would ring his door bell asking to buy it. :laugh2:

I have no idea if this is it, but it looked EXACTLY like this one.

If you still had that in good condition it would be worth a few bucks.

I don't know. Royal Blue is my favorite color, (probably wouldn't have a car that color though) but Red and Black are my favorite combo of colors.

I had an 88 with Silver & the Dark Grey Stripes. The Blue & White was 84 only.

I love the 80s Monte Carlo SS (especially the red on black ones) Though, I don't know what it is, but I have to give the 80s Grand Nationals the edge. If I had bottomless pockets, my 80s collection would include a mint Grand National, Monte Carlo SS, and IROC Z.

Can't think of too many more 80s muscle cars I would take though. The Mustang GT/5.0s of the 80s were popular, but didn't really excite me too much. Definitely not like the other three.

Thats really all you had to work with but also you could get an Olds 442 that looked really sharp or the not so sharp looking Grand Prix version.

The IROCs were a great looking car.

Someone ran into the back of it and destroyed it. They had no insurance. The car had been restored recently when I got it. Red and white pleated interior, new top, new paint. Nice. I loved it. Wish I had my 68 GTO, 69 Chevelle SS396, 1981 930 Porsche and 1971 Mercedes 300 SEL 6.3L as well as 73 911 restored to 71 RSR specs. But who knew.

Bet that thing takes corners like a city bus. :laugh2:

With a top speed of 268 mph you probably don't want to be thinking about too many corners. lol

I did too until I saw a photo of a Viper. I never thought of a Viper as a muscle car, but I guess posting a photo of the Bugatti doesn't really qualify. My bad.

Yeah, not all are.

Corvettes and Vipers aren't muscle cars either. If I remember, true muscle cars had to have more than two seats in them. This is what made them distinct from the high end super sports cars.
