World's Biggest...Muscle Car? (^-^)

[axlon]

Would you say the 7th gen T-Bird, was perhaps the biggest muscle car of all time?

Just always had this thought seeing Jack Cassidy chasing Clint Eastwood in The Eiger Sanction (1975) movie, lol.

Never a 'muscle' car - 'personal' coupe. Shared body with Lincoln Mark 5 of same year I believe

That is a land-yacht. I would say that and the Lincoln Continentals are huge

You obviously don't know what a muscle car is

Unfortunately describing the later TBirds as 'muscle cars' will seriously upset and aggravate real 'muscle car' enthusiasts. My son has a '62 TBird coupe. Not by any stretch of the imagination is is a 'muscle car' - however it has 'muscular' performance and with aftermarket heads, cam, headers and twin 4 barrels I'm guessing it will give a few supposed 'muscle cars' a nasty surprise. My own BB C3 Vette is in the true sense a 'muscle car' and will run with and outperform most other 'muscle cars'. However, refer to a Vette as a 'muscle car' in front of period Torino, Fairlane GT, GTO, 442, Cuda, Chevelle owners etc and again they will get bad tempered - they call the Vette a 'sports car' - don't think we agree with that in the UK do we? Now factor-in the 'pony cars, Camaro's, Mustangs, Cougars, Javelin/AMX's and it all get very confusing and crosses over all sorts of boundaries. I haven't even asked the question "should a muscle car have a small or big block power plant"

Sincere apologies - slip of the tongue (so to speak) - ain't no replacement for displacement!

....not to mention a lopey cam, multiple carbs and open headers......
