Looks like a sports car to me.

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.

I prefer mine sitting a bit higher and slightly raked.......with a set of fatties out back

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.

Some interesting suggestions
And is obvious in this thread, Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

And There is no way I can narrow it down to one single car

But for me it has to come done to shape, and colors . Gotta admit an all Black on black 1970 Challenger would be up there . No stripes, no vinyl top and 15inch rallyes
And Im not an E body guy


BUT THIS particular photo of MY car is hands down my numero uno. And is beauty beyond compare , TO ME .
The angle, the lighting , the colors especially. It all just pops my buttons

I never understood how the 64 GTO get all the credit for the so called first musclecar. The 62,63 413's and 64 426's could whoop any GTO all day long.

 

[gtx6970]

In regards to beauty on 4 wheels

Its one , or the other with no real preference one over the other

And yes, Im very aware neither are considered Musclecars.

Watch this little Comparison film of the the 1962 Ferrari GTO vs the Shelby Daytona.

It had a special packaged name as a musclecar. The mopars were just sedans with large engines.

And the quickest production car you could buy.
