My understanding of the "pony car" is from the Mustang...it was a new class/size of car with a smaller trunk, 2 door, 4 seat (but basically only two) with a smaller cab, and still a relatively long hood...A sporty look for sure...It started with engine sizes that were compatible with the cars size...(therefore not "muscle" at first)...

Chevy responded a few years later with the Camaro in the pony car class...
The Challenger also had the same basic body style...

Started as pony cars...became Muscle Cars in the pony car class when larger than "needed" engines were available...
