Muscle cars are not always a turn key car you can take on a road trip to grandma's house. They are old and delicate. If you're going to own one you should probably learn how to work on a classic because something will break or need replacing eventually. The great thing about working on classics is that they are simple and easy to work on. Modern cars are powered by computers and the engine bays are jam packed full of sensors, engine management, wiring, and more. Owning a modern muscle car basically means you are forced to spend hundreds of dollars to have a dealership fix it. Lastly, back when the muscle car craze started, there were so many different cars and styles of cars available. Some of the companies producing cars at the time were Plymouth, Dodge, Chrysler, Ford, Mercury, Chevy, and AMC. Most of these companies have faded away over the years. In modern day we only have the big three companies that produce a single muscle car. They are Ford, which produces the Mustang, Dodge with the Challenger, and Chevy with the Camaro. Being limited to only three cars doesn’t leave much for styling options.
In my eyes classic muscle cars will always be on top. There has not been a modern car that catches my eye like a good ole classic.
