Power, speed and performance those are the three major traits of a
muscle car. When first produced, muscle cars were just pretty darn amazing because they
combined the efficiency of a lightweight, mid-sized body with the performance of a high-
power V8 engine and special design features that further increased the cars? acceleration
capabilities. Because muscle cars topped all other vehicles in terms of power, speed and
performance, they were ideal for racing.
Muscle cars were produced from the mid-1960s into the early 1970s, but the
production of such beasts fell drastically due to a number of factors. First was the
controversy over whether it was wise and responsible to make such powerful vehicles
available to the general public, primarily due to road racing. Because muscle cars were
often used irresponsibly, liability relating to them was pretty high which forced
insurance companies to increase rates for insuring muscle cars. Emission control
requirements intended to curb pollution also played into the picture making it near
impossible for automakers to produce muscle cars that met the standards they had to adhere
to.
Needless to say, the muscle car industry changed quickly due to these
influences. Demand decreased because many ?would-be? buyers of muscle cars couldn?t fathom
paying the enormous insurance rates for a high-power vehicle and automakers had to meet
the challenges presented by pollution control standards.
Since muscle cars were produced for a limited number of years, they are
valuable items for collectors and are still highly desirable to those who enjoy racing or
desire a quick, powerful, mid-sized car. Since the decline in the production of muscle
cars, some automakers have attempted to bring the muscle car era back to life by producing
powerful vehicles that resemble the legendary muscle cars, but in my opinion, they don?t
hold a candle to classic muscle cars like the GTO, the Road Runner or the Chevelle SS.
It will be interesting to see how the history of muscle cars plays out.
Will present day automakers renew production of true muscle cars that are fast and
powerful? Will there be enough demand to make muscle car production worth it to them? Or,
will muscle cars continue to be limited to those classic models that were produced in the
60s and 70s?
Classic muscle cars are pretty amazing pieces of machinery. One that is
restored and in cherry condition is really worth a lot of money. As time goes on, there
are fewer muscle cars available which makes them even more valuable to classic car
collectors and muscle car enthusiasts.
