Best all around year for muscle cars?

[Hiker]

What's your favorite all around year for muscle cars considering all makes and models.

Everyone has a favorite year of a certain car but what year do you think was the best for all makes and models?

67' and 69' would be my two favorites, but I'd have to put my money on 67'.

Lots of nice looking cars came out in 67'.

Mustang
GT350/GT500
GTO
Chevelle
GTX
Fairlane GT

For the pinnacle of muscle car years, taking all makes into consideration, I'd have to post a vote for '69 or '70!

[Teebone]

for sheer torque and ground shaking ability I have to go with '69 or 70.

[Beach Pony]

1969

[1969Restomod]

1969 for sure

1970 is generally considered the high water mark for the muscle car era.

My favorite year however is 1968.

Arguably the most beautiful car ever

From purely a performance standpoint, I'd have to say 2009.

1970. The one exception would be the Camaro. I think the 68 RS/SS is the best looking car ever made.

I like ALL the cars from 1967.

But Muscle carwise it's a tough choice between 1969 and 1970.
1969: 69 Camaro - even I like the styling
1970: Dodge Challenger & Plymouth 'Cuda

Plus the stuff Fomoco built both years is pretty good.

1964. It began the "muscle car era" with the ultimate, the Pontiac GTO. 1964 was good for all brands; the 426 Hemi was introduced, it was the first full year for Ford's 427, The Chevy 409 reached it's peak at 425 HP. No, 1964 wasn't a flashy, Foosy year with crazy colors, stripes, and wild themes; it was just business. Oh yeah, anyone remember what was introduced mid-year 1964?

Looks like 69' is the most popular so far...

The only cars that held me back from voting 69', are the GTO and Chevelle. Not a big fan of the 68', 69' era of those two models..

Another '69-'70 Vote.

[poor_mans_riches]

Vintage? 1969

Muscle Overall? 2009/2010. There's no time like the present for fast cars.

For me the question is alittle like, Concours or Restomod, Why Choose I look at each car seperatly and to select a single year would not work. I like Muscle Car's differnt years for differnt car's, might explain why I'm so differnt
