35 Muscle Cars To Bring Back (And 10 To Forget About)
Enough with the motion-sensing, self-parking, auto-open, beeping, flashing nonsense that is the standard car of today. We want these bad boys back. We like our vehicles manual, heavy, loud, and proud. When we need to get somewhere quickly, nothing beats out a high-performance muscle car. We have cataloged 35 muscle cars we want to see re-made in the following list. We have also provided our picks for the ten muscle cars that can gladly stay put in the past. It is interesting to see how these vehicles started and where they are now. Many changes have occurred over the years, with some being better than others. We think there is still a lot to learn from previous models, so we hope these companies return the classics. Please enjoy.
Oldsmobile 4-4-2
First, let’s get the Oldsmobile 4-4-2’s pronunciation right. Everyone is supposed to say each number individually, so four-four-two. That’s because the original 4-4-2 features a four barrel carburetor, a 4 speed transmission (many cars back then were only three speeds), and dual exhaust. Seem a bit pretentious. Maybe but the 4-4-2 was a classy car that simply happened to offer a lot of muscle. In fact, the 4-4-2’s performance was good enough for it to be selected as the pace car for the 1970 Indianapolis 500. Sadly, Oldsmobile is no more so we’ll likely never see a new Oldsmobile 4-4-2 again.
