ford muscle cars

Muscle car is a term used to refer to a variety of high performance automobiles.[1][2] The term principally refers to American, Australian and to a lesser extent South African models. It generally describes a 2-door rear wheel drive mid-size car with a large, powerful V8 engine, and at an affordable price. Although opinions vary, it is generally accepted that classic muscle cars were produced in the late 1960s and early 1970s.[3][4][5][6] Muscle cars were built for street use and in some cases racing. They are distinct from sports cars and also from GTs, which are two-seat or 2+2 cars intended for high-speed touring/road racing. These are not generally considered muscle cars owing to their small size, relatively high cost and specialty nature. (The two-seater AMC AMX may or may not be an exception: one source queries whether it qualifies as a true muscle car or pony car,[7] but also lists it among vehicles that fit the general interpretation of both categories.[8] AMC was "never shy" about describing the car as "a genuine sports car"[9] as it was relatively inexpensive).[3]....

100% Q: Why do American Muscle Cars like the 2008 Ford Shelby GT500 that is fast but, don't have the suspension.?

I love American Muscle Cars to death but, but why do muscle cars got the speed don't have the traction to go up against the european cars in a track race instead of just the drag strip like; AMG Benz SL65, Ferrari, Porsche, Lamborghini, Audi, Mercedes, Audi, and BMW that these manufactures make their cars with better suspension and traction. I think if car manufactors like Ford, Chevy, Dodge, and other american car companies make their sports and muscle cars with better suspension that holds to the road better than the euro cars than the american cars might win in a track race.

A:Most of the European cars hook better because they weigha lot more than the American cars. For example a 04 Corvette Z06 weighs 3100 lbs while on 04 Mercedes SL 55 AMG weighs 4400lbs. When you have a lot more weight it will handle better, but it isn't as quick due to the power to weight ratio. Go to www.vehix.com and compare a few muscle cars against european cars and there is usually a huge weight difference.

100% Q: Help me identify this rare Ford muscle car.?

Just down the road there is a large ford 2-door muscle car. It's white with burnt orange racing stripes. It has small vents on the side and says "GT" on the back but no other names or model numbers. It's bigger than a mustang, but smaller than a Lincoln. Looks a little like a Charger fastback but it's a FORD. Looks like maybe early to mid 70's I've been racking my brains and looking all over the internet and I can't find a picture of this car anywhere. What is it? What years was it produced. I guess I'll just break down and ask.

A:Go to Google and check out these cars: 1969 - 1970 Ford Torino, Ford Torino Cobra or 1969 - 1970 Ford fairlane...Good luck.

100% Q: How much is car insurance for older muscle cars?

I heard that car insurance is pretty expensive for older muscle cars, and I'd like to know around how much a month car insurance would be for a 1968 ford mustang?

A:I depends on what you plan to do with they car. If it's a daily driver you'll be stuck with liability, which is cheap. If you want classic car insurance you insure to the cars value and they limit your driving.
