Favorite Muscle Car

[Keith Tedford]

All the main stream musclecars that you mention, don't come cheap. If you want to save a few dollars, think outside the box. We have a good example of this. Our '72 Lemans Sport has all the good musclecar options, 1970 455 (originally 400 Pontiac), M20, 3.55 Safety-trak, PDB, tach and gauge dash, rally steering wheel, Rally II wheels, bucket seats, and more. We have a fairly mild '70 455 in the car and it is quicker than our L78 Chevelle. Cars optioned like this are worth about half that of a similar big block Chevelle. Start the Lemans, and everyone looks. They just don't expect a Lemans to sound like that. This car gets as much attention as our Chevelle because it is a little unusual. There are lots of good cars out there that get overlooked. To many though, it just isn't a Chevelle, and that is the bottom line. If you just want a car for the summer and unload it in the fall, a Chevelle will move a lot quicker.
