I rode the same wave, Tony. For me, it was my high school buddy's 1964 Tri-Power GTO with a 4-speed and my cousin's 1968 427 Tri-Power Corvette. I still remember my first rides in both the GTO and Corvette. Mind-blowing, and I was hooked on American muscle cars. Shortly after, while in the Navy, I was able to order my first muscle car, a 1970 Road Runner through Chrysler Military Sales. Other cars that grabbed my attention back in those early days were the 1968 Camaro SS-396, 1969 Chevelle SS-396, and 1965 GTO. In 1968, I couldn't afford the 1965 GTO that I wanted after just getting married, so I settled on a 1965 Pontiac Lemans with a 326-2 motor. It was a good looking car that always got noticed, and I have to say I was pretty satisfied with it.For me, it was the old school muscle.
'69 Camaro.
'69 GTO Judge was one of my favorites. Still is.
'70 Chevelle SS
Starting to really love those early 70's Nova cars.
