Automotive orgasm – Muscle car engine growl. American classic cars Ford, Chevrolet, Dodge




American classic retro cars and Muscle car engine sound Ford Mustang, Chevrolet Camaro, Chevrolet Chevelle, Chevrolet Impala, Dodge.

Muscle car Ford Mustang.
Is there an American classic more loved than the Mustang? Launched at the New York World’s Fair in 1964, the Mustang instantly found its aspirational market: selling an extraordinary 500,000 in its first year alone. You could have yours as a sleek coupé or even sleeker droptop, and in either guise the marketing promised the thrills of “all-vinyl interiors” and “wall-to-wall carpeting”. Immortality beckoned in 1968’s ‘Bullitt’, as driven by Steve McQueen.

Muscle car Chevrolet Camaro.
In August 1966, Chevrolet bosses introduced their new muscle car as “a small, vicious animal that eats Mustangs”. Buyers could choose from a straight six or Mustang-baiting V8 engine, while the luxury of a two-speed automatic transmission attracted those less keen on the “stick shift” four-speed manual. Signature sliding panels hid the headlights when not in use, giving the Camaro a still more menacing look. Eventually outsold the Mustang in 1971.

Muscle car Dodge Charger.
We’ve gone for the second generation of Dodge’s big coupé here, with long lean looks that starred in the ‘Dukes of Hazzard’ TV series and, memorably chased by Steve McQueen’s Mustang, at the 1960s cinema in ‘Bullitt’. This was a true muscle car, whose then-fashionable “Coke bottle” looks were propelled, courtesy the obligatory burbling V8, to 60 mph in a Ferrari-rivalling 6.5 seconds. Wind down the side windows for a pillarless look.

Muscle car Pontiac Firebird.
Designed to impress at first glance, Pontiac’s second generation Trans Am boasted an attention-grabbing snout, topped by the firebird of this coupé’s name. In-house stylist Bill Porter regarded it as the finest design of a stellar career, with a functional bonnet scoop expressing the Trans Am’s more than ample power. An elegant machined dashboard faced the driver, who had a padded three-spoke steering wheel to hang on to as the Trans Am raced to 60 mph in a frankly remarkable five seconds.
