I have the chance to interact with a lot of fans of American Muscle cars on a regular basis. I also speak with a lot of people in the automotive and restoration industry as well as those that sell classic cars for a living. Everyone seems to whole heartedly agree - there has NEVER been a better time to be a muscle car guy...or gal!
The year 2009 has had many highs and lows, but it seems that the wonderful world of muscle cars has nothing but positive things going for it. Whether you prefer old muscle cars or new ones, restoration projects or hot rodding projects, or just like investing in some of the best Detroit Iron ever made, 2009 has offered you absolutely everything you could ask for. Let's review a few highlights!
"New" Muscle:
Right now the Big 3 (despite any other troubles they may have) are cranking out some of the best, fastest, and safest muscle cars ever made - and they're even environmentally friendly. The new Camaro, Mustang, and Challenger are all fantastic cars - and the aftermarket has latched on to them like crazy. SLP, Shelby, Hurst, Hennessey, and the like are absolutely in love with the new Detroit muscle. In fact, a 500 horsepower version of their cars seems a little tame by today's standards! If a new ride is to your liking you need go no further than your local Chevy, Ford, or Dodge dealer and check all the boxes on your order sheet. It's that easy. (Well, you'll have to pay for it, but other than that it's pretty easy.)
Perhaps you prefer a new - old - car? No problem. Order a Dyacorn replacement body for your favorite GM or Ford muscle car and start wrenching.
Restoration and Hot Rodding Muscle:
If you're restoring an old muscle car, or hot rodding one, nearly everything you need to get the job done can be delivered in a box to your front door. Year One recently started producing the long awaited 1968 and 1969 Charger taillight panels along with brand new 1970 'Cude grilles. Until now, things like these had to be hand repaired out of multiple donor parts!
