The most beautiful muscle car?

Boy -o-boy, that air intake doesn't blend too well with the shape of the 911. That's my industrial design side talking.

My undergrad is in design, my MS is in petroleum geology. I switched careers back and forth depending on the price of oil.

He needs the large oil cooler for the 110 hP per liter screaming air cooled flat six out back!

Most beautiful muscle car I desired was the 1968 GTX.

I looked for years in Texas for a '68 GTX (preferably a Hemi) and didn't find any before stumbling across the '70 Charger I purchased in 1985.
 
As the saying goes. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

'69 Charger R/T
'71 Cuda
'69 GTX
'70 Cuda
'68 Charger
'66 GTO


And that order can flip flop at any given moment. With even an outsider entering the list.

I'm in total agreement on the '68 GTX, with a few select '69 models in the same league for me, based on color combinations. My first GTX was a '70 model because I couldn't find a '68 for sale at any price in 1977. I felt like I won the lottery when I owned Baby Blue and my Hemi car at the same time.

I was incredibly lucky that the '68 GTX never gained the popularity of the same year Charger R/T. I was able to buy both of my cars at relatively bargain prices, and did it twice with Baby Blue, first in 1983, and again in 2013.

Makes sense to me, when you came of driving age, that's how most of them looked. I'm a bit older, and when I was 16, most of them were still running same size tires, with the original owners, seems to explain why I've leaned toward stock appearance. On the other hand, the few '68s I saw in the wild during that period all wore Magnum 500s or torque thrusts, no dog dishes or wheel covers.
