1976 Ford Maverick Utilizes 302 Ci V8 Powerhouse And Style To Match
The Ford Maverick has been getting much attention lately because Ford resurrected the name for a truck model. However, today we aim to please the true automotive enthusiasts who remember the Maverick's original state, a muscle car. Though it has been widely forgotten in today's modern muscle car mania, the Ford Maverick is a valuable relic from the past, boasting a long and storied history throughout. With performance that could have rivaled the Ford Mustang at the time and plenty of styles to match, these cars quickly began to take over the popular car culture in America. Nowadays, you can hardly find them anywhere due to their sheer age and the fact that many were used and abused out of existence. So what are enthusiasts like us supposed to do if we want to get our hands on one of these rolling time capsules?

1971 Pontiac GTO Ram Air Relives Glory Days On Auction Block
The Pontiac GTO has long been regarded as the first muscle car ever to hit the American asphalt as it combined a gigantic V8 engine with the body and chassis of a smaller car than the full-sized racers of the time. This decision was made shortly after the GM ban on racing which the Pontiac designers immediately ignored because of their long-standing name as GM's performance wing. But, as we all know, this birthed a movement across the nation which would later be known as the first muscle car revolution or muscle car movement. Everything from the powerhouse to the exterior design of these cars was brand new to the nation's people, who would go on to hold these vehicles on a pedestal as the epitome of American automotive passion.

1970 Sport Bronco Hosts Powerful V8 In Great Condition
The Ford Bronco will likely be remembered in American history as the nation's favorite off-roading vehicle to ever hit a dirt road because of its insane reputation for utility, ample power, and style. While this is undoubtedly still the case for the latest generation of the Bronco, many enthusiasts still choose the first and second generations over the newer models, which may seem odd until you look at what those cars represent. In the late 1960s, the broncos were essentially the only non-Jeep SUV on the market and, as such, stood for the idea of individual freedom and the ability to go anywhere off-road while still providing good performance on the road. That's precisely what this particular Bronco brings to the table with a few extra goodies to sweeten the pot.

1970 Pontiac GTO Judge Has Five Speeds Of Magic
The Pontiac GTO Judge is an exceptional car, no matter what way you look at it. Whether it's the original '64 GTO that started the muscle car revolution or the 2004 model, which saw the introduction of the LS1 into the car's history, the GTO is America's favorite muscle car. However, there was one car that we didn't mention for an excellent reason. This discrepancy is because it's on an entirely different level. Of course, we mean the Judge. Like many mean muscle machines of the time, such as the Chevelle, Camaro, and Firebird, 1970 was the year that the GTO saw one of its most fantastic forms. This car epitomizes that point perfectly with its intense nature and ability to turn heads to this day still.

1970 Buick GS Convertible Is One Of Just 67 Cars Like It
Buick has been a significant contender in the GM lineup for decades because of the brand’s innate ability to produce some of America’s most excellent muscle cars. Some of these vehicles may include the incredibly famous GNX or Grand National, whose claim to fame came in the 1980s with the Turbo V6 engine. However, these models often draw attention from the great cars of the late ‘60s and early ‘70s. With a lineup of gigantic V8 engines at their disposal and various elite designers, Buick quickly became one of the most popular brands of the 1970s. So what made these cars so iconic, and why are they such a good purchase for any car enthusiasts with a passion for speed and style?
