Muscle cars like the Charger and Challenger represent a unique style of high-performance vehicles popularized by U.S. automakers in the 1950s and marketed for their powerful engines and sporty design.

Muscle cars are typically two-door vehicles with lightweight bodies designed to help the car go fast. Americans' interest with muscle cars surged in the 1960s with the popularity of drag racing and as more customers purchased cars like the Pontiac GTO, Ford Mustang and Plymouth Road Runner.

The 2023 Demon SRT is the seventh special-edition muscle car for Dodge as it celebrates the upcoming end of production of the current Challenger and Charger muscle cars. Dodge has sold more than 2 million of those vehicles since their introductions more than a decade ago.

1970 Chevelle SSWith features like optional twin racing stripes, the 1970 Chevelle SS looked fierce. SS stood for Super Sport, a fitting designation for this power car. A 396-cubic-inch engine was available, but a 454-cubic-inch engine option gave the 1970 Chevelle SS credibility among muscle car enthusiasts. Two versions of the 454 engine were available: the 360-horsepower LS-5 and the 450-horsepower LS-6. For its sheer power, the latter has become legendary among car buffs.

The 60s were a time filled with some of the sickest muscle cars to date. It was a time when a great number of legendary muscle cars were first produced. The first models began to take over the automotive industry, and they are still in the spotlight today. What's not to love?

Some of the biggest and most favorable names in the industry during this time were Pontiac, Chevrolet, Dodge, Ford, and Plymouth to name a few. Let's take a look at some of the most badass classic muscle cars from the 60s.

First introduced in 1968, this muscle car has been proclaimed to have more mechanical presence than any other American-made car, especially during its time. The exterior and inner workings of this car are absolutely breathtaking.

The Pontiac GTO first set foot on the market in 1964. It was originally based on the Tempest LeMans, which is why it offered a package for the LeMans. They didn't call this muscle car "The Goat" for nothing. With its defiant personality, it was hard not to like the character of the GTO.

The Oldsmobile Tornado was first manufactured in 1966 until 1992, spanning over four generations. It has been said to be a dangerous luxury car, but we can't deny its desirable looks. The shape of the car gives off a very tough persona. With a short rear and long front end, the similarities to a stereotypical muscle car are there, but the bulkiness in the front bumper region is where it becomes unique.

The first models held a 327-cubic-inch V8 engine that produced up to 300 horsepower. What we love most is the character of the car. It screams tough and who wouldn't want a classic muscle car that rules the streets?

The specs are impressive, especially for a newly released car at that time. Producing a top speed of 138 mph and 306 horsepower, this Mustang lived up to its legacy name, not to mention the sleek cosmetic styling of the car. Looks and power? Now that's our type of muscle car.

Ford introduced this beauty in 1968, and it just might have been the quickest Mustang of the muscle car era. Equipped with a V8 engine, this Ford can produce up to 335 horsepower and 440 lb-ft of torque.

Aside from its impressive performance specs, the exterior is pure perfection. If there is a car that reflects what a true muscle car is, it would be this 428 Cobra Jet. We don't know about you, but this car would be a true keepsake in our garage.

The Dodge Challenger was first released in the fall of 1967. While it resembled the typical body styling of a classic muscle car with the long hood and short rear - its wheelbase allowed for more room on the interior. This car has been evolving for over 50 years, and we hope it never ends.

The Chevy Camaro made its first appearance as a 1967 model, to compete against the all-mighty Ford Mustang. There are numerous reasons as to why the Camaro is depicted as the best muscle car you can buy. They don't call it a "market leader" for nothing.

This beast was released in 1967. Although its appearance resembles a luxury sports car, there is pure muscle running under the hood of this classic car. As one of the fastest and most powerful Shelby models to date, this ride also takes the cake for being one of the rarest muscle cars available in America. Now that's impressive.

"Muscle car" is actually a term used to describe a wide variety of powerful, high-performance vehicles. While some people have definite opinions about what qualifies as a muscle car and what doesn't, the term usually applies to two-door, rear-wheel-drive, small to midsize cars with large, powerful eight-valve (V8) engines.

Muscle cars became popular with young drivers in the mid-1960s. Not only were they sleek, attractive, and powerful, they were also affordable and able to be driven for everyday street use, as well as formal and informal drag racing.

Compared to modern cars, which tend to have smaller four-valve (V4) or six-valve (V6) engines that use less fuel and are better for the environment, muscle cars tend to be smaller cars with big, oversized engines.

The earliest muscle cars were not particularly fuel-efficient or environmentally friendly. Of course, fuel was cheaper in the 1960s, and science had not yet revealed many of the environmental impacts of vehicles at that time.

Many muscle car enthusiasts believe the 1949 Oldsmobile Rocket 88 was the first true muscle car. It boasted America's first overhead valve V8 in a relatively light body, giving it a lot of power and speed.

Auto manufacturers began to tame their muscle cars in the 1970s. In response to complaints by Ralph Nader and others who wanted auto manufacturers to focus more on safety, the automotive insurance industry began to charge more for insurance on muscle cars. At the same time, gas prices began to rise, and efforts were under way to fight air pollution.

All of these factors led to the decline of the muscle car in the 1970s. Auto manufacturers concentrated their efforts on lowering horsepower, increasing luxury, improving fuel economy, and reducing emissions.

Classic muscle cars, such as the Dodge Charger R/T, Ford Mustang, Plymouth GTX, and Pontiac GTO, have become collector's items for muscle car enthusiasts. Some of these old models are relatively rare today and have been valued at up to $500,000. Extremely rare models, like the 1969 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1, are seen as museum-worthy artifacts!

In addition to the pictures, this Wonder is an article to help us learn more about muscle cars! We're sorry you feel that way (and sorry we can't get you an actual car!) but we have plenty of Wonders for you to check out!! We're glad you're our Wonder Friend, kiara!

We dug deeper into this, and here is what we found...The term is a lot older than many might think. It has its origins with the introduction of OHV engines by Oldsmobile and Cadillac in 1949 when car magazine writers described those cars as having "Plenty of Muscle."Mrs. Mason's awesome class :o)

Hi Richard! Thanks for WONDERing with us! Gas goes up for lots of reasons like the economy and the cost of oil around the world! Muscle cars can take a lot of gas because of their older engines so maybe that's why their numbers have gone down. Keep WONDERing! :)

We love cars of all sorts, Tanner, especially when we Wonder about how all the parts work together! It's amazing that we can just hop in our car and it will transport us to an entirely new place! Isn't transportation awesome?! We Wonder if you have a favorite car... a specific model or a series? :)

Hey Andrew, that sounds like an awesome way to spend time with your dad-- WONDERing about cars of all kinds! We are glad you learned something new about muscle cars with us! Perhaps you will see some muscle cars at a local car show in your town! :)

Stricter government pollution requirements are another factor, too. As automakers in the U.S. face more stringent fuel-economy requirements adopted by the Biden administration and produce a broader range of EV vehicles, they will have to jettison some of their gas-fueled muscle-car models.

Under new gas-mileage standards that were unveiled in April, the fleet of new vehicles will have to average around 40 miles per gallon in 2026, up from 25.4 mpg now, the EPA says. The standards are likely to become even stronger in the future, a trend that will compel U.S.-based automakers to shed some gasoline muscle cars if they are to avoid fines.

To many gearheads, the thought of a muscle car without noise and smells is heresy. But Kuniskis says Dodge is working hard to make the electric experience match internal combustion. The Charger, he said, will generate its own air flow to make an exhaust noise that rivals gas performance cars. And the transmission will shift gears.

Kuniskis wouldn't say how fast the electric Charger will go from zero to 60 mph, but said it would be faster than the company's current petroleum performance cars. He also wouldn't say the range-per-charge for the new Challenger, but added that range isn't as important as making it a true muscle car.

Nelson, 61, said he restored his first car while a teenager and spent hours at drag strips. He acknowledged that the switch to electricity is inevitable and is needed to attract a new generation that has become used to quiet speed. Still, he said, electric muscle cars won't have manual shifters, and he'll miss the smell of racing fuel at the track. 041b061a72
