i agree, this is like 69-70 all over again! I would LOVE to put a LS-9 in my 72 Z28! Its got a big block 454 in it now but the LS-9 would be awesome!

Yea that is an interesting way to look at the situation. While there is great worry about gasolines future and geo-politics etc etc. The truth is the best cars are being made right now and it is good times compared to what it could be.. worse in the future.

The Camaro was almost killed in 1972 anyway due to poor sales and a 174 UAW strike at the Norwood and Vannuys plants. Alot of the muscle cars were in critical times due to the begining of the Arab oil embargo.

Believe it or not, now this is just my opinion now.... but I believe that we will see new muscle cars and even ones that run on alternative fuels. Back in 69 and 70 a true muscle car sraight from the dealer, even ones like Motion performance, Berger, Don Yenko, even the legendary ZR-1s from Fred Gibbs and the legendary Dickie Harrell were only in the 12s. Weve got cars now in the high 12s, now thats performance! Who knows in the next 10 years what we might be driving and how fast they will be able travel?

I grew up in the 60's and early 70's. It was a magical time....Mach 1's, Shelby's, Hemi Mopars, LS6 Chevelles, 427 vettes. I miss it, but todays technologies melded with yester year styling is the best of both worlds! Here is a 64 vette I did last year:

i agree that cars are being built better than ever, and if they ever get the oil/gas/emmissions thing worked out, i wont be surprised if new muscle cars start popping up, not just the rebirth of legendary cars like the Camaro, but new models. and im very excited about that.
