If any other "oldtimer" cares to chime in.....

If memory serves me right, Mustang, Camaro, Challenger....... they really weren't sold as muscle cars at the start. They were sold as "personal cars". Or "personal coupes". It was after they aged and got cheap that a lot of them came back with all sorts of engines stuffed in them.

I drove by a Chrysler store today. There were at least six Challengers out front. I wonder if Chrysler has made too much effort selling the Challenger as the rip roaring muscle car. If GM is going to sell enough Camaros they may already know that it has to be sold as a somewhat responsible "personal" car.
