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

1980 Corvette California

California is a great state, pumping out excellent wine and technology. The Corvette is, to this day, one of the greatest muscle cars of all time. Let’s hope they never team up again, however, as the 1980 Corvette California was among the worst Corvettes ever produced by Chevrolet. The 305 CID engine was laughable by Corvette standards. Even more puzzling, Chevrolet mated that underpowered engine to a three speed transmission. That’s jaw dropping in all the wrong ways. There were certainly slower cars at the time, but the 1980 Corvette California simply didn’t earn its Corvette badge.
