Ultimate Musclecar Collection?
 

So I have several cars from several different manufacturers. No real brand loyalty here; I just buy what's available and what I like. However, I've toyed with the idea of buying, building, and/or cloning my way to the ultimate collection of "musclecars." Figured I needed one from each manufacturer (only one Mopar and Ford/Merc b/c they use the same engines), and only intermediates (no ponycars). Here's what I came up with -

1. Pontiac: '69 or '70 RAIV GTO
2. Buick: '70 GS Stage 1
3. Olds: '70 442 W30
4. Mopar: '67-'70 B Body with a hemi
5. Ford: '67 Fairlane with 427 or '64 Thunderbolt
6. Chevy: '70 LS6 Chevelle

If I sold most of my cars I might be able to pull it off. Any thoughts? What did I leave out?

Well, it may be the ultimate car, but not sure if I would call it a musclecar. I certainly can't afford a real one, and I think the clones (aluminum body cars) are also over six figures.

I guess if you were to add an AMC, per your "no ponycar" rule, you'd have to add a Rebel Machine.

Re: Ultimate Musclecar Collection?
 

if your looking for the fastest production car from each brand than yes a Rebel Machine is needed in your collection

Re: Ultimate Musclecar Collection?
 

Excuse my ignorance on AMC products but is a Rebel Machine really faster than a '69 Hurst Rambler? I've just never paid much attetion to them. How fast are they?

70 GSX
69 COPO camaro
67 fairlane or mustang fastback

70-71 mopar e-body
68-70 AMX
70-71 W-30

If you leave out pony cars you only have 1/2 of a collection!

I am not that familiar with AMC products but, I would think the S/C Rambler would be faster that The Machine but, due to the "no ponycars" stipulation, I don't think it fits in with the grouping of cars.

They were both 14 second cars out of the box.
