35 Muscle Cars To Bring Back (And 10 To Forget About)

1970 Buick GSX 455

Many consider 1970 to be the pinnacle year of classic American muscle cars and with the Buick GSX 455 it’s not hard to see why. Up until 1970, GM had largely limited engines in intermediate cars to 400 CIDmor less. However, in 1970, GM decided to let the ponies roam free. Despite being a rather portly muscle car, the 1970 Buick GSX 455 could hit 60 in nearly 6 seconds. The simple, toned down styling has helped the Buick GSX age gracefully and to this day it’s one of the more sought after classic American muscle cars.
