The '60s were the time when muscle cars what made the hearts of regular men and women skip a beat. They were more powerful, more imposing, and more aggressive than anything Europe had to offer for any price. That's why with numbers matching engine, is a steal at a four-figure price. It's a window through time, when cars were made with a certain weight and toughness that you can't get with anything made in the past few decades.
