The ultimate muscle car, the Chevelle 454 ended its reign in 1972. In one word, the 454 was barbaric. Laying waste to lesser muscle cars of the time, including the Corvette.
Nothing beats the world famous sports car, the Corvette. Designed by Zora Arkus-Duntov, the 3rd generation C3 body was patterned after the Mako Shark II show car designed in 1965.
Arguably one of the rarest muscle cars ever. Built to make it possible for Ford to develop a Hemi engine to compete with Chrysler in NASCAR, they built 1,358 of the cars between 1969 and 1970.
