Muscle
Car
The
term "muscle car" generally refers to American mid-size cars
with large engines built mostly from 1964 to 1972. The first
true American muscle car was the 1964 Pontiac GTO, with a
325 hp 389 4 bbl engine, and an optional 389 tri-power producing
348 hp. Although every American car manufacturer, including
AMC with its venerable AMX 390, produced muscle cars during
this time period, probably the last true big-block muscle
cars of this genre were also Pontiacs: the extremely fast
SD 455 Trans Am was produced in 1973 and 1974 in limited numbers.
