Ken you are correct in my history line, they where pony cars. However along with the late 60's and early 70's Nova's that I couldn't stand 25 years ago I have "turned a new leaf" and like seeing these now, as they are a little more uncommon than a 69 camaro (nothing against them) but I see them and get a grin....
On a little different note, on new performance vs muscle car, Love them or hate them if you have not rode in a new V8 mustang, camaro or hemi powered challenger/charger hold on, these things blow the pants off the old factory muscle cars, whether we like it or not. Though I prefer old cars the new performance is unbelievable, I saw a post on Facebook of somebody questioning a procharged LS or Coyote motors power potential as not being what they claim, then that person had not been to a drag strip or no-prep style race lately, its dominated by them and with mph and times we could have only dreamed of. Give me a old car with a "soul" I call it but don't under estimate these new ones as not having performance (but lacking a soul) they do have the performance down.

Yeah, I totally agree with this, but that is where hot rodders like us have an advantage. We can take the new power plants and transplant them into the old cars. Win, win.
