There were NO muscle cars built in '76. Muscle cars were factory built.
By "definition", no muscle cars built after '72

You can say that again; my 76 Camaro LT with a 305 was rated at 140 HP and it was about as lame as they come.

Many of the older guys may remember when the magazines debated car name classifications for a couple years, in the late sixties. As I recall it all came down to this:
When modified for more power....
'48 and older were "street rods". (There was also a big styling change going into '49.)
Post World War Two cars were street machines.
'64 -'72 Detroit big block "performance cars" were "Muscle Cars".
...and later, the cars that would be "street machines" became "Pro Street" if they had giant tires.

Well that Wiki definition did say "typically' and not absolutely so they gave themselves an out. Just like saying muscle cars ended in 1972, then think about the 73 Pontiac SD455 and the Buick Grand Nationals of the 80s. And the late model Mustangs, Camaros, GTOs and Chargers that can walk all over the best the 60s and 70s had to offer. Hard to put a box around those definitions.
There are two kinds of people in the world, those that categorize everything and those that don't
PatOf course, that's just my opinion, I could be wrong!

I am glad to see (your avatar), that I am not the only one who doesn't mine letting his dog ride in his hot rod.
