Without even watching it I can tell you it was the 427 L88(?) corvette. My uncle had one in green that he helped build personally working the line at GM. He took delivery of it as soon as it rolled off the assembly line, swapped on slicks he had brought in the back of his truck, and took it out behind the factory. Immediately thought something was wrong with it because he felt a clunk on hard acceleration.

His buddy was filming and after reviewing the footage he found out the clunk was the front end of the car slamming back down on the pavement after the car wheelied. He eventually put a trailer hitch on the vette to tow his matching green jet boat with a 427 marine engine.

he sold the car and boat a couple years later to pay for cancer treatment which he ultimately could not beat. May he rest in peace

Yes. What a great era. The cars my dad and uncles owned could make up a museum. I am trying to carry the torch for my generation - only one in my family my age that can afford it these days unfortunately.

My 1970 442 Post Coupe was an absolute beast.

Not surprised the Cobra was #1. It was smaller and lighter than the others in the video plus the 427 was packing some serious HP back then.

I wouldn’t expect to see a Mustang on the list, it wasn’t and isn’t a muscle car by definition. Shelby did beef them up but it seems they didn’t include any aftermarket/specialty cars except the Yenko. If they included the Yenko, there are others they should’ve included as well IMO. I think someone in the video comments mentioned the R code Fairlane and the Thunderbolt as two that should get included if the Yenko was included. Good list though, lots of cool stuff. Super Bee and Roadrunner are two of my faves from that era.

70 Buick GSX Stage 1. That's the #1. Not sure why they didn't list it. Torque monster.

That particular video was for 1960’s cars. The Buick would very likely appear in a 1970’s list

These videos are difficult to watch. You know the person making it isn’t a car guy with how he pronounces some stuff. Four hundred forty six pack.

I am a fan of GM A bodies and Mopar B bodies. I’ll keep my Chevelle

It almost sounds like AI to me. A lot of videos are going that way. It might not be, it’s getting hard to tell these days

Back in the day, all the magazines used to have slightly different lists. I remember the 1971 Boss 351 was the quickest of the 60s/70s Mustangs.
