In the late '60's, three cars were competitive in NASCAR; Ford Fairlanes, Plymouth Belveders, and Dodge Chargers. Notice there are no GM products mentioned. No GM product won a Daytona 500 or a championship from 1963 to 1972. This did not stop the sales of Mustangs , Camaros or Firebirds (none of which ran in NASCAR), Chevelles, GTO's, 442's or GS's. It also didn't stop the sales of Novas, Dusters, Darts, or Cougars.

I admit, that part of my post made no sense, I should have also said drag racing, that played a big part in the popularity of the muscle car because many people bought them to drag race or street race. I guess, there could be 2 classes of muscle cars, the old and the new but, they should not be compared togther because it's like apples and oranges. I'm not drinkin old geezers kool aid, ither, I bought my '67 Falcon because I don't care for the new technology.:)
