Favorite 20 Classic Muscle Cars

7/20 1971-1974 Chevrolet Nova

This small automobile saw five generations, and was not as popular as the subcompact Vega which was introduced in 1971. Nova was the first compact Chevy that did not have a four cylinder engine. Vega was initially more popular, but Nova regained its popularity for most of the 1970s. Motor Trend said that Chevrolet had made a better performing and desirable compact in the shape of Nova. However, in mid 1980s, the compact lost its muscle glory.

8/20 1973 Pontiac GTO

The 1973 Pontiac GTO was the last model of the second generation, and featured a Colonnade hardtop styling with a reskinned A-body. The rear windows were triangle-shaped and fixed, so you couldn’t open them. Due to new federal laws, the Pontiac GTO came with prominent chrome bumpers on both the front and rear. This muscle car was not as well-received by the public as others, but with dual NACA ducts, the Pontiac GTO sure has got to be good.
