10 Classic American Muscle Cars

Ah yes, Detroit tendon. American car brilliance at its most excellent. I’m talking 1960s era Chevys, Fords, and Mopars, and I’m talking ones that go rakishly. Ok, I look for the representative Listverse aspersion about this shopping list being “too American”, but cry me a river. If someone wants to do a European Sports Car rota, more power to ya, but these machines are my raison d'etre of paradise on four wheels.

This is of tack not a final laundry list but before you criticism, please note: you’ll find no pony-cars here, my friends. Maybe I’ll do a attend-up index of Camaros, Mustangs, etc. if this one is well received, but for this one I wanted to profile the more subdue looking road machines. And stark, I infatuation ‘em, but in my give birth to ‘vettes are “sports cars”, not sinew cars, so that marque is furthermore omitted. And so without further ado, here are ten of my partiality tendon machines, auspicious down to typical of facsimile-years that are of close suit to collectors and enthusiasts. And yes, they are in no precise sort (well perchance short care) so don’t haunt about the ranking.

Fomoco’s explanation to keep tempo with the lighter and faster Chevys and Mopars of the day was to study its leading motor, the big-slab 427, into one of its smallest models, the mid-sized Fairlane 2-front entrance coupe. Notable front-end blueprint modifications were needed to carry out this, as well as a stocky hood protrude fated to put up the hi-ascend miscellaneous and clone fours, with air induction routed through figure headlight openings in the grill. But nonetheless it was a mill-produced car nearby to anyone from their local dealership, listing at $3,750. Even so, it was purely expected for racing, with plexiglass windows, fiberglass essence panels, and a strict internal that lacked armrests, sun-visors, mirrors, vigorous-dampening insulation, and was disseminate- and range-cross out. Take it for granted those kinds of shortcuts in abundance and particularly protection features being certified in this day and age. Correctness be told, the Thunderbolt was not uncommonly timely for common use. Perhaps that’s why only 100 T-bolts were sold in 1964. But be on one's guard; these cars could take into custody down mid 11s in the dwelling-place mile!

What do you think of the car Dodge Magnum?

I'm looking to buy a new car & my husband wants a Magnum? Do you like them? Does anyone know if it's a good car? Does it drive good? Break down a lot? Any info would be good! Thanks for answering!

they are built just like the Crysler 300's and the Dodge Chargers. I own a 2006 Charger with a 5.7 V8 Hemi and have not had any problems with it at all I personally don't like the looks of the Magnum since it is more of a wagon but to each their own. As for 2008 being the last year, the motors are the same so parts for that would still be available since they still make the 300's and Chargers.

Is the Dodge Magnum a car for me?

I'm going to go pretty soon and check them out, I love the way they look, but can they perform? Any feedback will do.

I have loved both my magnum's. My first Magnum was a 05 RT AWD with the 5.7L MDS and this car did have show and followed with the the GO! The car was very reliable if you can still find a 05 model be aware that it issues such as pull to the right (factory recall) as well as the self sealing contintential tires (recall or replaced) the best part of the 05 was the factory warranty of 7 years/100,000 warranty!

If you are seriously looking a Magnum and want some performance don't bother test driving a SE or SXT! Head straight for the R/T and you want a BADAZZ Wagon head for a SRT8! The R/T I had performanced really well and not many cars could keep up with me especially have the AWD I would catch some cars and even trucks off guard!

I never had an issue while I owned my AWD RT magnum (just over a year). My mistake happened when I saw a shiny red Magnum SRT8 sitting at my local dealership while I waited for a oil change. I asked my sales person that sold me my AWD Magnum if I could have a test drive. He warned me I would be taking this home if I did. Well, he was right they gave me a smoking deal for trade-in and a great price on the SRT8!

The 6.1L hemi has NUTS....the upgrades in seats & leather, the performance suspension, brembo brakes and the 20 inch SRT wheels and did I mention that HEMI! This car looks badaZZ and it badazz under the hood! I did sacrafice AWD and but not much in MPG (maybe 2 to 3MPG lower) than my RT version but I gained more performance!

Magnum RT AWD - City 15-16 MPG HWY - 21 to 24 MPG
SRT 8 Magnum - City 14-15MPG HWY-20-23 MPG

The issues I have had with the SRT8 magnum was my front brake pads were squeeling bad and leaving tonnes of brake dust on my rims. Dodge replaced these under a factory recall. Also, my pet peeve and I only have one with this car is the front lower valiance sits really low and you have to be careful when you pull into a parking stall with the curb or the parking cement block......you will crack your lower valiance and basically need to replace your bumper (Several SRT8 owners I have talked to have replaced there bumper once because of this).

The seats in the LX platform (300, Charger, Magnum's) have lots of room for people over 6'0 tall!

The 2008 Models have under gone some changes (the SRT8 version comes with ram air hood and changed headlights and front valiance. The RT version has different headlights, new hood style and offers HID lights. If you want to learn more about the magnum head to the links below!
