The Pony cars were supposed to be small personal coupes, but when you use the GTO formula on them, they got the Muscle car moniker as well.

Some will probably replied then the Impala with the 409 was the 1st muscle-car and I didn't mentionned the genesis of the muscle-car with the Chrysler C-300 1955, 1950 Olds 88 and these Hudson Hornet Super-Six
And some countries developed their own adaptation of the muscle-car like Down Under in Australia with the Charger Hemi-6-pack, Ford Falcon GHTI backed with the 351 Cleveland and the Holden Monaro/Torana
