For muscle cars, undoubtedly 1969. I'd be hard pressed to think of any car that looked bad during that year... if people ask me about my favorite year of a muscle car I don't know much about, I always say '69

Maybe.

The 1965 Mustang is fast (but doesn't get much respect in a car show).




I find the 2011 $29K Mustang to be good.


The proper peak is the current Boss 302 or the GT500.
