    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.

    Really? Please provide evidence that a GTO 6 pack ever existed!

    You must be young,6 pack was 3 2 bbl carbs

    The term actually started with the Chrysler 440 6 pack but everybody just referred to the 3x2 set up as a 6 pack.

    We could get really technical and eliminate everybody from the discussion that did not have a factory numbers matching muscle car that was stored in a garage with 5000 miles on it but in the 70s you could buy them cheap and use them as a daily driver without worrying if a leaf landed on them.

    here is one

    You have never been around car people or muscle cars or you would know GM never called it a six pack and you would get laughed out of a Pontiac meet for using such a term! Maybe you had a Nocar Mopar?

    Those SS Chevelles were nice [[ and VERY costly and collectible now) Too bad you never acquired the 1970 model.

    Chevelles and Camaros are nice, but they're a dime a dozen. Too may were built, and I haven't seen one that's truly different, other than those that are extensively modified. I tend to favor models that are rare, and off the beaten path.

    You're right .. The prices, the uniqueness, the flair, and the options these cars came with made most young men interested.
