The 10 Greatest Muscle Cars of All Time

[6 Shooter]

By James Tate of MSN Autos

It's hard for a car buff not to crack a smile — or at least an impish grin — at the sight of a classic muscle car. These overpowered iron beasts were built to deliver a beating and to take one. They were always willing and able to burn some rubber. And they were anything but agile. Big, heavy for the time, loud and rude, muscle cars embodied everything that was great about the American auto industry of the 1960s and 1970s. In a recent poll of our readers, we asked, "What's your favorite muscle car?" Here are the results, listed in ascending order of preference, as well as an overview of what made each beast special.

I don't know if it was the greatest muscle car of all time but the fastest I have ever gone on four wheels was the night that I and some other guys were out partying with a guy before he went to Vietnam. He had a '69 GTX 440. After burying the 140 mph speedometer a few times,he finally pulled over and I may of kissed the ground that night.

But it's a pony car. Besides, they weren't all that fast for all that motor. I never lost to one in my Hurst in stock class.
