Perhaps one of the most exciting periods in automotive history was during the production years of the classic American muscle car. Muscle cars were big, loud and ultra-powerful rubber burning machines. During the 1960’s and 70’s the American automakers progressively became more competitive with their muscle car offerings. Each year it seemed Ford, Chevy, Chrysler or even AMC would out-do the competition in terms of brute power and aggressive exterior styling. Since we love muscle cars we thought it would be fun to create a list of the all-time top 10 best muscle cars made on US soil. Obviously this is merely our opinion so we don’t anticipate all readers to agree with the inclusion of all of the muscle cars on this list. Since muscle cars are widely considered to have more than 2 seats; the Chevy Corvette, Shelby Cobra and other very powerful, fast cars from the era were omitted from this best muscle cars list. Make sure to cast your vote on which of these you think is the greatest muscle car. View a Complete List of Classic Muscle Cars.
