No automotive product is more uniquely American than the muscle car. While Europeans toyed with small, sporty cars with 4-cylinder engines in the 1960s, Detroit stuffed increasingly more powerful V8s under the hoods of sexy midsize coupes and convertibles. These exciting machines inspired stoplight drag races, barroom boasting and a generation of car guys who were incredibly brand-loyal. While the 1960s was the golden age of the muscle car, there are examples of the breed both before and after. Take a click tour of 20 of the most significant muscle cars in history.

Here's the one I love..
Z16 1965 Chevelle Malibu SS396 , only 201 Z16's Built
Muscle cars: 20 that made history
1965 Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu SS
Like the GTO, the Chevelle was a midsize car. The SS variants featured powerful small-block V8 engines for 1964 and '65, but in late '65 the Chevelle got its first big block: a 396-cubic-inch 375-horsepower V8 from the Corvette. The car was called the Chevelle SS396 Z16, and it added a whopping $1,501 to the car's $2,647 base price — a likely reason only 201 were produced. Offered only for the hardtop coupe, the option package included the stronger boxed frame from the convertible, heavy-duty suspension, Impala brakes and special trim pieces.
