The most beautiful muscle car?

That's easy. Mine!

IMG_3215.jpg
 
Is a C-body 1970 Sport Fury GT a “muscle car”? because I would definitely pick that. Otherwise I would say a 1970 Chevelle for a Chebby, I would say a 1970 Torino for a Furd, and for Mopar I would say a 1970 Roadrunner or GTX.
 
My input:
1: 71 Plymouth Satellite Sebring/Roadrunner/GTX
2: 73 Dodge Charger
3: 70 Dodge Super Bee

I'm personally surprised I put two Dodges on this list seeing as how I only have and only will have Plymouths. I obviously like the Fuselage body styling, though.
 
A lot of beautiful classics out there.
For me its specific areas of cars

My example:
Taillights of a 69 coronet
Front end of a 69 roadrunner/satellite
Quater/door lines on a 68 charger

There wasn’t much wrong with the 64 Thunderbolts if you could keep them straight on the strip. Clean crisp lines.
 
Some that come to mind (in no particular order)

1970 Coronet R/T / Superbee
1966/1967 Charger
1973/1974 Roadrunner
1970/1971 Torino Cobra
1972 Challenger Rallye
1967 GTX
1971 AMX
1970 Camaro SS
1971 Mach 1 Mustang
1969/1970 Shelby GT500
 
For me it is:
68 -70 Charger #1
70-71 Challenger #2
68-70 B Bodies #3
70-71 Cuda #4
Then any other musclecars beyond that.
 
You said Muscle Car. To me a Muscle Car is an intermediate body style, big engine, fairly light. So that takes out the plump wing cars and the overweight Chargers, no pony cars either. This one is in the dictionary when you look up "muscle car". The 68's were there too, by 70 they were moving past utilitarian and into the fluffy category. I love 71's as well but they had extra bits just for flash too. The 69 R.R. and GTX are the perfect example for me. The off brands aren't as nice, a 69 Chevelle almost makes it as does a 69 GTO but they are just lacking in something and Fords just didn't "make it" either.
Look at those clean lines, nothing there that shouldn't be there. Shiny paint! In! Add some fat tires? In!. Now the real test, what is the one car that looks tough as nails with an off colour fender or the whole car in Primer? Yup 68-69 Road Runner or GTX, beat to hell and with a few dents and primer, they still make you look and wonder if it might clean your clock in a race. No other car has the "it" like them.

But the 71 Plymouth B body was a styling change that was unmatched.

Tough question. No one and only answer.
 
This one should be near the top, the one that started it all, and a close second.
