Default The Top 5 Missing Muscle Cars of all-time

I had fun putting this one together. Not including GT40s, Corvettes, and Cobras, what would you guys put in the top 5?

The '65 "Z16 Convertible" deserves a spot on that list.

Wire wheels, white wall tires and faux wood-grain trim may have been the inspiration for the 1984 Chrysler Mini-Van. The Waikiki was anything but a Muscle Car.

How could you pick that over the 1969 Camaro ZL-1 Show Car?

BTW the Oldham Camaro was built long before JL-8 was an option.

I know you said no Corvettes but these two motion Corvettes are stolen and missing and probably the ones I would like to see found.

AJ Foyt's 67 Pace car prize for winning the Indy 500. Maybe not a muscle car and not top 5 but it would be nice if it was ever found.

I read that he declined all the festival cars because none of them had a/c. So, Chevy built one with a/c. It would likely be one of few June cars, a 350 with a/c.

Grumpy's Toy VII - The 1970 ZL-1 Camaro show car Bill Jenkins built with the help of Chevrolet and Ammon R. Smith Chevrolet.

The Camaro was built similar to the proposed 1970 Camaro ZL-1 (LT-2) 454 aluminum engine option that was cancelled.

I have the original hood I bought from Bill Jenkins. The hood is one of two all steel 1970 cowl induction prototype hoods Chevy built then later gave to Bill Jenkins.

Grumpy's Toy VII was built as a show car with a ZL-1 engine, cowl induction hood, 4 speed, Lakewood traction bars, Hooker headers, Hurst Shifter, and Cragar wheels.

Grumpy's Toy VII was a straight bumper car , Grumpy's Toy VIII 197O race car was a split bumper RS style car.

The 70 Toy VII Camaro was returned to stock and sent back to Ammon R. Smith Chevrolet, then sold as a used car. Bill kept the cowl induction prototype hood.

The hood photo is from Bill's shop when I bought it and still has original paint.
