Re: ?
It all depends on how YOU define "muscle car". If you mean a "real" one, nope. NOTHING out there that runs for less than 4 or 5K. I define a "real" one as an intermediate coupe or hardtop (2-door) with a large engine in it. GTO, Chevelle SS, 442, Grand Sport, Road Runner, Charger R/T, Torino Cobra, etc. A Nova is NOT a muscle car, regardless of how much power it has. It's a "compact". With the "SS" option, call it a "sport compact". Same with Firebirds, Camaros and Mustangs. These are all "Pony" cars.
Now, do you want a real one, or are you after a good performance car to play on the street with? For the latter, I recommend the GM "G-body" (Malibu, Monte Carlo, LeMans, Grand Prix, Cutlass, Regal, '78-'87). They have an excellent chassis for performance, are relatively cheap, and a small block Chevy (cheapest form of power) bolts right in. Of course, if you use a Grand Prix or LeMans, you really should use a Pontiac V8 (:-
