I tried looking it up but no lists are based on looks alone. Doesn't have to be a Mopar. I don't need to explain to this crowd what qualifies as a muscle car.

70/71 Challenger/Cuda
'69 Charger
'69 Mach 1
 
A very subjective topic. With no wrong answer. Each person has their own right answer. For me 71-72 Plymouth Satellite/road runner/GTX and 68-70 Dodge Charger top my list. And the 73-74 respective Plymouths along with the 71-74 model Chargers right there. Oh, let's not forget the 68 Coronet/Super Bee, and the first-gen Chargers. Which then reminds me to mention the Plymouth E-body, followed by the respective Dodge E-body. Doesn't mean we leave out late 60's-early 70's A-body cars !! Bringing up the awesome early 60's super stock cars for sure. Now, the 70 Dodge R/T and Super Bee was not well received on introduction, some called outright ugly, but that model has grown on me to genuinely regard it as a bad-*** looking car ! While we're on the subject here, I was going to mention... I was going to mention.... uhhh... what was the question, again ?

Even if there was a list on the internet...whose list? Based on what, the writer's opnion? Does that mean it's the truth.

Top 10 Guitarists, Top 10 Quarterbacks, Top 10 Whatever.

Hell, you'd never even get the same list from people on a brand or model specific forum, never mind every make out there.
 
Any second-gen Charger. Something about that Coke-bottle waistline, the buttressed rear window/almost-fastback roof line, hideaway headlights, hood and door scallops and evil-looking taillights put them in a different class than most other muscle cars, of any make. There's a reason why these Chargers are the quintessential "bad guy car" in so many movies...with the exception of the Dukes, of course. They weren't bad, were they?

For me any 68-70 b body mopar (68 coronet/bee and 70 rr/gtx specifically) also have a soft spot for 67 novas (more so than my 67 chevelle)

I do have 4 1970 mopars
 
For me the 68 to 70 Charger R/T is the number one car,then the 71 Cuda,and 70/71 Challenger R/T. The 70 Plymouth b body would be next,then the 71 Charger R/T and 71 Plymouth b body. The 68 to 72 C3 Corvette would be on my list too.
 
I think it depends on the position that you're viewing the car too. Sometimes my car looks perfect (to me). Other times it looks slightly ungainly. Not many cars look perfect from every angle.

Think of a Superbird - looks unbelievable from some angles:

#1 Anything 68-70 Mopar , #2 All other Mopars up to 74. #3 A tin Indian Catalina from 65 with 421 and 4 speed would be nice ... NO Fords
 
I'm a mopar guy but, my best friend in hs had a '70 SS396 4speed chevelle, red with black stripes, centerlines w/front runners, custom red and black velvet buckets, she was a beaut!

I've owned a few and a combination of most of them would be perfect. Like women, they all look beautiful to me and really, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
 
I don't know why but this car. I hate red on red, hate the white wheels. But I saw the episode and fell in love with it.
