Forgotten muscle?

**8bit** · 07-27-2010, 01:55 AM

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?

Hurst/Olds

Turbo Bird 4.9

Buick Regal GNX is one of those classics.

1989 Pontiac Turbo Trans Am.

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.

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?

How bout the AMX?

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

**typh4u** · 08-03-2010, 12:39 AM

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.

**JJVal** · 08-03-2010, 03:39 AM

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.
