I don't know about that. The GTO was pretty loaded up and is considered the original muscle car by many. Is a gtx a muscle car? They were pretty heavy on options. How about a convertible road runner, convertible gtx, convertible 340 dart or convertible r/t clallenger muscle cars? They weren't stripped down cars and sure weren't light compared to their hardtop counter parts.
Rich mans sports cars? What was $3400 like back then? Not so cheap from I am told. I was t around so I can't compare. I know a lot of guys that sure aren't rich driving new r/t challengers. (Yes the hellcat,Shelby and zl1 are pricer) It's a bad thing because stock modern muscle will not only out perform most classic muscle on the drag strip but also in the corners, stopping comfort, safety and economy? Some closed minded crazy thinking there. Or maybe it's a jealously of sorts, who knows. Modern muscle is the best of all worlds. Don't know how anyone could hate and not respect that.
