Truly a feat of automotive engineering was the Corvette, but in my opinion they have not built a real Corvette since 1969, well until 2006 with the ZO6, it's a very good example of what the Corvette should be, let's get back to the reason why I sat y that 1969 was the last year for a true Corvette, in 1969 the engine options were many, and some of the on the dyno have generated in the upper 500 horsepower range, and they would be the L88, the ZL1, and last but not least the L71, which also came with a 3-2BBL carburetor setup.

The advertised horsepower of the engines did them no justice, but it had to be that way for the dealerships to be able to sell them, the L88 was rated at 430 HP, but on a dyno it actually delivered closer to 600 HP, and in some cases a little more, depending on how the engine was tuned, I have yet to locate dyno result for the other two engines, but they will follow suite, the ZL1 was an all aluminum engine from head to toe, and it was impressive, but it was never supposed to be a production car, as both Zl1 Corvettes that were built were never supposed to be released to the public, they were built for the president and vise-president of GM at the time.

The legend of the Corvette is one of brute power, and handling at it;s best, and after 1969 the engine options would never be the same again for the Corvette, as according to the federal government these cars were causing the majority of the emissions problem in the country at the time, but they of course had failed to look where the problem really was, seeing this as an easy target for there political ventures, they forced the big three auto builders to lower the performance of there muscle cars and sports cars, and this was not a little bit, it was drastic.

In 1970 there would be only one big block engine offered in the Corvette, and this would be a 390 HP LS5 454, in 1969 390 HP was the lowest HP offered in a big block configuration, but in 1970 it would be the most power that they would offer in a big block configuration for a Corvette, now don't get me wrong here, there were a lot of small blocks that were putting out decent HP, but a big block is just part of the Corvette mystique, and it's a part that makes up a large part of what the Corvette represents.

Due to the fact that the Corvette is known as a pavement malting, tire roasting, Ford eating terror of the street, a Stingray would chew up and spit out any Mustang that you could care to mention, it could always hold it's own with the most powerful muscle cars ever built, the Corvette was a beautiful thing then, and is a beautiful thing now, and for all the trying nobody could destroy the power of the name Corvette.

Rookie Guide On How To Buy A Muscle Car: Determine The Make And Model You Want

I thought it would make sense to answer the big question that seems to come up more often than not when shopping for a muscle car: just how do  I buy a muscle car anyway?  For some, there's not a lot to it – it's just love at first sight, a price is agreed upon, and the car has a new owner.  For others, it can be a bit more intimidating.

We'll assume that you're starting at the ground floor and have decided to buy a muscle car as an investment and for enjoyment, but don't have a lot of experience or historical knowledge of the muscle car era.  We'll also assume that you want to really personally like the car you plan to buy and that you're not simply planning to buy it based on it’s investment potential only.  Now what?

The best method period in determining the make and model of car you want is to first start looking at all of the options available.  GM, Ford, Chrysler, and AMC all made some incredible muscle cars during the 1960's and '70's, and they all had their own style.  Go through these steps to clarify the car of your dreams.  Remember – there is a muscle car out there for you….and it’s been waiting a long time for you to find it!

Step 1) Begin looking through the Classifieds listings of cars here at The MuscleCar Place and on other sites as well.  The more you see, the better.  Take note of the shapes you like first.  Nothing more.  See which one grabs your fancy and jot it down.  Having a lot on your list at this point is a good thing.  Look at the stance of the car.  Look at it from every angle – not just the front.  Do you like cars with bulging fenders, or do you prefer something a little straighter?  Do you like something that looks like a race car, or a street car?  Do you dig hidden headlights?  Take note of all of these factors.  Don't get too hung up on the colors at this point, as almost all models came in many different fantastic colors and paint schemes.  Do take note that a particular model of car may be EXTREMELY different from year to year (a 1966 Charger vs a 1971 Charger, for example).

Step 2) From the previous step, you may be interested in a half dozen to a dozen models at this point.  Now it's time to do a little more homework and see what trim levels, engine combinations, and the like were available on those cars.  Start with the Make and Model page in our Resource Vault and then move on to automotive magazines (Hot Rod Magazine, Super Chevy, Mustang Monthly, etc.).  These magazines will be plentiful at your local shopping center, library, and so forth.  Nothing will beat the benefit of seeing these cars first hand though, so attending a local car show is an absolute must – and try to hit a big one (like a Good Guys show) if you can.

Step 3) After completing the first two steps, it's time to get more specific.  You've likely whittled the list down to 2-3 at this point, and now it's time to start looking at those cars, and only those cars.  Look again through the Classifieds section of The MuscleCar Place, and hit the other online sites as well.  Look for color combinations of cars that you like, taking specific note of the options they have or don't have.  If you're a stick shift guy and you plan on keeping the car original, only look at manual transmission cars.  The same goes for engine combination, wheels/tires, etc – even paint colors can be changed if you're not inclined to keep the car original.  Revert back to the Make and Model page in The Resource Vault if you need more details or get lost in things that seem similar but aren't (as an example, Chevy made 3 different versions of their big-block 396 ci engine).    If a particular couple of cars keep coming up (or that you keep coming back to), that's a good thing.
