Djunod,aren't Corvettes considered Sports Cars ??? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif The Manta Ray is cool but you wouldn't consider that a Muscle car would you ?

Look near the beginning of this thread to see my message of what a muscle car is. Like I said, I consider the Corvette the ultimate muscle car. I think that definition over on musclecar.com (or whatever) to be just outright goofy https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/rolleyes.gif

Oh... and I consider the 1st & very early 2nd gen Camaro as the second & third best muscle car.

I saw the Muscle Car Review article on the Boss Nine Cougar, but somewhere online I had found a link to a longer, more in-depth article. I can't remember where it was, but I do recall it was off the beaten path on some obscure personal website.

This is one of the Boss 429 Cougars

Fast Eddie Schartman campaigned this one-of-two ´69 Boss 429 Eliminator Cougar in NHRA competition. That’s a ´70 front end--a facelift for the ´70 season. This isn’t one of our Top 10, but it’s a piece of Cougar racing history few are even aware of. Ford performance-car collector Ed Meyers has found one of the Boss 429 Cougars, although its condition will require a massive restoration.

The 1968 Hurst "Hemi" Dart was a wild ride! There were 75 built that year.

There was a spread on one in MCR some years back... a white on black one, open headers... There is decal or a plate stating that the car is NOT for public road use... AWESOME CAR!

Yes, you're right! A white 1968 "Hemi" Dart appeared on the September 2001 cover of Muscle Car Review. The car was owned by a gentleman by the name of Joe Saunders. He's a car collector from Florida. During the photo shoot, the oil pan had gotten damaged going over a speed bump! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...thumbsdown.gif

I found the thread on boss302.com that had the link to the great article, but that article is no longer archived at the site. There's some neat info in the thread, however, so I'll include it here.
