Forgotten muscle?

There are speedy cars that were well known once, and now get overlooked. The Hurst/Olds specials were like that, what others can you think of? ;-)

Turbo Bird 4.9

Buick Regal GNX is one of those classics.

1989 Pontiac Turbo Trans Am.http://www.bjorn3d.com/forum/attachm...1&d=1280261520

Sorta vaguely related: I can't stop looking at this car:

We are talking about forgotten muscle. Hell they even have kit cars for Cobra's I hardly call that forgotten.

I'd call a AC Cobra forgotten. Everyone thinks of the Shelbys not the ACs.

2004-2006 GTO? Forgotten Muscle?

How about the 92-93 GMC Syclone and Typhoon?

Approx 300hp out of a 4.3L Turbocharged motor. :smile:

Good catch Mt Dew. Those were some nasty little awd trucks, and they are more rare than the Buick GN.

Exactly. If you say Cobra what do people think of? I say they are forgotten cause you hardly ever see the real deal and when people do its like...what is that?

The Mark Donohue AMC Javelin AMX was one of my favorite body styles when I was growing up.

lol, whenever I hear AMC it just makes me think of the Gremlin :)

1970-1972 Chevrolet Monte Carlo SS 454. I almost bought one the same year I married my wife. I think I may have made the wrong choice.

Heck I grew up and drove 60s and 70s cars and there aint nothing forgotten :)

what about dealer items that were installed that made them rare today, heck you could get a 56 vette with a record player, wasnt to good while moving :) LOL it played 45s,

Hmm rare what about the executive Hotrod in its day, anybody know what that was :)_

Was it the Buick Wildcat? I remember my High School Principle drove one. I looked brand new, even though it was 10 or more years old.
