Well, that all depends. What was the last year they produced the GTO?

They made it from 1964 to 1974. I know you want to argue, but the real musclecar era had ended.

In that case I agree, after 71' it went downhill. Stupid gas prices.

ahhh I Like you already!!!!
Yes the goat my fav. muslce car. And i wouldnt say 71 was the end, I would say 72. It didnt get any better after that, but now i think things are turning around some Theres nothing like sitting behind the wheel of a goat hearing that thing growl. The roar of that V8...... nothing gets better! I also love the 70 Chevelle LS6, I shutter everytime I hear that Polygon, Why did you say "Well that all depends?" Depends on what? The GTO was the First Muscle car, it created the Muscle car era. Therefore, when he said "The First and Last REAL Musclecar" He was very correct.

Well there never was an argument that the GTO was the first true muscle car. But I said depending all on what the last year it was produced because, as you can tell I like Mopar the last year that they really had anything with some balls was 72' because of damn gas prices. The GTO was produced up to 74'. Which engine was it that they were putting in it that year?
That is why I said that all depends. |

i thought they only made the BOSS 429 in 1970..i would have to think the 1969 Plymouth roadrunner 440 6 pak was also an awesome muscle car, up until 1971..then they added the "go-wing"..aaaahhh..what were they thinking.. The goat is an awesome car too..

All the the Mopar muscle cars were great up until after 1971 when the muscle car began to fall apart thanks to our government and gas prices.

Arguing from the other end, the GTO was not the first muscle car either. That title goes to the Chrysler 300 series, which started in 1955.

... then there's the original 'Banker's Hot Rod' the 100mph 1936 Buick Century, initiating the genre, featuring the bathtub man's biggest baddest new 320 CID engine (from the Roadmaster) squeezed into their smallest, lightest body (Special, was a 233 CID)
