Dodge gave the Charger and Challenger great reboots in the 2000s, Chevy has carried the Camaro nameplate on to this day, and the Ford Mustang has been in constant production since the 1960s. These are classic muscle cars that still have a presence and everyone is familiar with. There are however some amazing examples of Detroit muscle, from the golden age that have been somewhat forgotten.

The American Motors Corporation (AMC) built some of the most distinctive muscle cars in the late 60s/early 70s, but no longer exists and has no way of continuing its legacy. Other companies like Plymouth, Pontiac, and Mercury were divisions of current automakers, but have been discontinued. Even Chevrolet, Dodge, and Ford, the Big Three muscle car manufacturers, built killer rides back in the day that haven't been brought into the new age. Also, muscle cars existed before 1964, when everyone assumed they were created.
Hardcore muscle fans, nerds, and wonks will remember these powerful cars, but for most people, they've been lost to history. Of course, the easiest solution would be for the big American automakers to relaunch some of their classics, but things are kind of shifting to EVs so that's probably not going to happen. To preserve some history, here are some lesser-known classic muscle cars that everyone should be aware of.

My Best Friend totaled his '69 AMX in a drunkin' head on at 45 mph. The fastest vehicle I was ever in was a '68 Dodge Charger 440 Magnum, riding shotgun - pegged the speedometer at 140 + Those were the daze ----- "power shift here we go"

My 1968 AMX is my favorite car of all I owned over the decades. I had a 1968 Javelin at the same time - quite different from each other. The Javelin was a 232 I6, a nice road car. The shorter two seater AMX was a little beast, even with the small 290 V8. Totally different personalities.

You missed one. The 1955 Studebaker Commander with a 352 ci. V8 Packard with a high-rise manifold, it was on the cover of one of the Hot Rot magazines that year setting the production speed record at 132 mph. So, the 56 Studebaker Golden Hawk wasn't the first.

If l'm not mistaken wasn't that black and white Studebaker seen on an episode of American Pickers? Quoting the video "for one year the lmpala was a muscle car...." wtf? Every year from at least 1958 until about 1970 lmpalas were offered with Chevy's top engines with 3 or 4 speed manuals and from 62 up an SS package. SS427 and SS396 Impalas weren't plentiful but being the kinda kid that the first thing l would look at was the fender badge showing which engine it had so l would see both. The lmpala was a muscle car years before the Chevelle

In 1957 i went with my dad to buy a new car. I was 7 years old. While he and the salesman were finishing up with the paperwork, i noticed a car in the showroom. It was a 57 Corvette. I ran back to my dad. Dad don't buy that ugly car, get that one! He was buying a 57 Chevrolet. He walked over to see the car that i was making such a fuss about. He looked at the window sticker. He said, 4 thousand dollars!?! There isn't a car in the world worth 4 thousand dollars! And walked back and finished buying the ugly 57 chevy. I was crushed.

You show under hood shots of a Golden Hawk with a late model LS swapped in to it, Then a Rebel under hood shot with the 6 cylinder rather then the 327 AMC V8, You heavily featured a Comet, Not the Cyclone, you did show a Red Cyclone. The Aqua one was not a Cyclone. Javelin was introduced as a 1968, You said it was in response to the Mustang, Camaro and Dodge Challenger, The Challenger was introduced for the 1970 model year. Then the Monte Carlo you showed the engine also has a late model LS swapped in. Not a 350 or 454. I post this because it is important that the correct info and visuals are used, for the future. If a few years somebody may use this as reference for buying, restoring or writing a story. Incorrect facts are just not a good thing. Otherwise what I noted is a well produced video.

"Road & Track", "Motor Trend" & "Hot Rod" magazines would've been singing the praises of the '68 AMX if it could go that quick. You guys got some explaining too do. There was nothing that quick in '68. Pony up American Legends.

Chevy sold one of the 63 Z11 Impalas to Junior Johnson, who took it to Daytona. He was allowed to compete in one race only and then told Chevy would have to homologate the motor by selling 500 examples for the street. Chevy declined and GM banned all factory racing participation, and Chevy would not be back to NASCAR for decades. I like the stories- I just wish you had better film clips. A 56 Studebaker with a Chevy LS motor? A Rambler Rebel 327 but the motor is a straight 6? Sorry- you need to work harder on your videos. Also- the "Dodge Dart Polaris"- that Polara, and the 440 name did not indicate the engine size. The 440 motor did not come out until 1965.
