The most beautiful muscle car?

[69 Sleeper Bee]

I wouldn't trade the Sleeper Bee on looks for anything but...

I really love the 70 RR - I am going to get one eventually

#2 70 Boss 302 Buddy in High School had one just like this

#3 63 Impala SS The 1st car I ever went to see at 15 years old and the guy wanted $500 but my dad saw it was a 409 4 speed and said no way. Probably saved my life but I was crushed.

Oh yeah, '63-'64 Impala with the Mopar roof

That RR in front of the church deserves a caption contest.

I'll start. "Thank you God!"

 

[440 4 speed]

64 had nicer body lines.

 

[440 4 speed]

66-7 Canadian 396 SD Beaumonts were extremely nice looking and went well.

You said Muscle Car. To me a Muscle Car is an intermediate body style, big engine, fairly light. So that takes out the plump wing cars and the overweight Chargers, no pony cars either. This one is in the dictionary when you look up "muscle car". The 68's were there too, by 70 they were moving past utilitarian and into the fluffy category. I love 71's as well but they had extra bits just for flash too. The 69 R.R. and GTX are the perfect example for me. The off brands aren't as nice, a 69 Chevelle almost makes it as does a 69 GTO but they are just lacking in something and Fords just didn't "make it" either.
Look at those clean lines, nothing there that shouldn't be there. Shiny paint! In! Add some fat tires? In!. Now the real test, what is the one car that looks tough as nails with an off colour fender or the whole car in Primer? Yup 68-69 Road Runner or GTX, beat to hell and with a few dents and primer, they still make you look and wonder if it might clean your clock in a race. No other car has the "it" like them.

When I went looking for my first new car a 67 SS Chevelle was on the top of my list. $200 in price side tracked that and I bought my 67 Satellite and its been Mopar ever since.

There is no denying that the 68-70 Charger is the pinnacle of the Mopar World. The 70/71 Cuda and the 70 Road Runner a close second. I’m kinda partial to my 68 Dart 270 that I just got back after 30 years. Kim

The '68-69 Coronets definitely had the best quarter panels, you maybe could make arguments elsewhere, but 68-69 were the coolest styled quarter panels of the musclecar era with the 2 indentions, 3 body lines and widebody look!

57 Dodge Coronet D501.

If we're going back to the 50's, the 57-58 300's were hard to beat style wise, and equipped with dual quad 392 Hemi's.
I like the '57 Dodge, but the '59 Super D-500 is better in most every way.

my car

But if I had to pick another, it would be a Mercury Cyclone Spoiler

 

[cosgig]

Easy one for me. I’ve been in love with this car since the day my Dad brought it home everybody who ever saw this car in person loved it too, it’s just beautiful in every way.

This one checks a lot of boxes for me!
Sixpack check
4 speed check
dana check
sunroof check
high impact color check
pistol grip shifter check
Daytona check
Charger R/T SE check
check check check..........

 

[DeltaV]

Anyway, 1968 Charger R/T if I can pick only one muscle car. It is absolutely beautiful from any and all angles.

I have a narrow definition of "muscle car" and it excludes pony cars, sports cars, and anything with four doors.

You said it for me. That’s why I owned seven 68-70 GTXs.
