I have always preferred the 69 500 to the Daytona's/Superbirds.
I am also sure I am very much in the minority!
Which muscle car is ugly?

I can’t think of an ugly one. I guess I like them all!

Thieves don't usually steal ugly cars! So it might be a good thing?

I bought it for it's rarity way back in 1990, not for it's looks. So far it seemed like a good Blue chip choice...
Sorry but this just looks like a high school project gone awry. Blue wheels included.

Maybe.... but I want one anyway!
I think all the vintage cars have personalities. What one of us finds ugly, the next guys thinks so cool. Generally at a car show I will be searching for the unique. My buddy had a 401 Matador red with a white stripe. Man that car was good looking.

I agree that Matadors are ugly. But i saw this one in person.
The nascar one looked good
Was that done by Ring brothers?

It's not ugly; it's an "acquired taste".

Neat gauge package if you have a co-pilot.
I’d buy one of these if I could get a good deal. They’re cartoonish in a good way. No longer cheap, like everything else. Two coming up for sale at Mecum Indy.

If Im not mistakin the Montego MX took that look right after those Spoilers.There's that "muscle car" term again.
Dang marketing people.
Anyway, the 1970 Mercury Spoiler in the OP is a
B-O-A-T and ugly to boot. I wouldn't rank it as a muscle car.
As far as American sports cars go, Corvettes after 1973 are unappealing except for the last year of C7. I like the C8...guess I'm a weirdo; but I do remind myself daily it's a GM critter and so I'll stay away.

If I had to pick a Mopar I think it would be the 70 Superbirds....just never liked the whole nose and wing on the RR, Daytona on the other hand I very much do like.

On the Buick Skylarks, a down sweeping line is usually used for luxury cars. An upswept line is for performance cars. It gives the appearance of pouncing or speed even when it is sitting still.

Easy answer.
Late 80's Ford Mustang, or is it a Tempo ? Don't know 'cause THEY'RE BOTH UGLY AS SNOT.

Going to add another disagree. In the Era
this car was built, it was respected as one of
the best on the dragstrip for a factory car.
That respect today, is reflected in it's resale
values. It was painted crazy for a reason.
Rebellious.
