Looks that way! Not sure if it qualifies as a muscle car, but I have a '67 Sunbeam Tiger. -TD

1970 Monte Carlo...327/300, TH350, headers, true duals, Edelbrock 600 into an Edelbrock Performer RPM. Nothing too serious, stock rear in fact. Engine throws her weight around though no problem. Stuck in yellowish primer, and waiting for me to come home with money and time (if anyone knows where to get that, please tell me). Got her for free when I was 14, built her up to drive to HS as my first car, and now, 10 years later, she sits in a garage waiting for me to come home and start her up every once in awhile. Considered selling her once, will never do that again.

Just sold a '70 Torino Cobra, got a '78 truck as part trade. I'm kinda sad as I've had the car since '75.

Do not worry if it you do not think it is a muscle car because besides my 67 Fairlane I got a 73 Ford Pinto that we put a 302 4 speed in.... I still do not know what we were thinking...LOL....

It was also the car driven by Maxwell Smart ("Agent 86") in the opening credits of "Get Smart."
