They were cheap back then also,when it was decriminalized I traded 2 lbs of weed for a 1965 GTO 6 pack convertible and two 1967 GTOs,which was like $500 back then.
I had a 1969 Ford Mustang Mach1 that I paid $200 for that was a lot of fun but my friends 69 super bee beat it so I sold it.
I have had every SS version of Chevrolet chevelles from 1965 to 1969,not probably considered a muscle car but I bought a 1969 XKE that was packed up in boxes,restored it and had fun with it,but it was to hard to climb in and out.
I wish I would have kept any one of those.
Now it is puttering about at a top speed of 45 mph in a 1946 chev 1 ton but if I run across a fixer upper 67 GTO I would grab it, so I guess I could claim that as my favorite.
The last one I had I dropped a 455HO out of a Trans-am in it and it lasted 4 days before somebody ran a red light and t-boned it.
I think it is sad the younger generations never got to experience Detroit muscle and the prices are now such they have limited access.
