King of the Muscle Cars

[marxjunk]

when i was a kid, the "king of the hill" around my town was 70 LS6..it was called the pinnacle of all Chevelles/muscle cars...and right behind it was the 69 L78 Chevelle....there was so much competition to get one, most gear heads could only dream about owning one...and the press pumped this over and over..and Legends where born..or like i call it..Urban Legends where created..you say it or read it enough, and the people believe it...

also, when i came up..the 64 GTO is what the press called the originator of the muscle car..because it was a light body, big engine and mass produced...Joe Everyday could get one..

RO23s... WO23s...A12s...T-bolts...L88s....ZL1s.... and on and on where factory race cars...at least where i came from..they where limited production,,most wherent even advertised, and you had to have a connection to get one...and almost all where filtered to race teams..only after they where used, could a guy even get one...there where exceptions, but just my observation..and i am no historian..

FOR THE RECORD...id rather have an A12 Bee ...than a Hemi anything...I'm a big fan..and really..its in my top 5....I wasnt smart enough to buy a Bright Green one like above in the 90s...running and driving..for $11k needing a resto...i was smart enough to torture it for an hour, and it left an impression..thats for sure...
