My name is Chase and my 1st Muscle Car was a 2004 Mustang GT. Now I drive a 2020 Challenger Scat Pack. Growing up in North Carolina my dad always brought me around all types of racing. I grew up around NASCAR, Drag and motorcycle racing which led to my love of American muscle. He also had a white ‘79 Corvette Stingray when I was a kid that I absolutely loved. When I was about 10 years old my grandpa got a white 2001 Corvette that he always told me he would give me. Unfortunately that never happened, and I’ve told myself since that one day I will own a C5 for that reason.
Classic American muscle cars are works of art in my eyes. Each one has a history of its own and a story to be told. When you see a classic muscle car in the streets, it demands attention and admiration. The passion it takes for a car to be kept and maintained for that long is incredible. It’s especially cool to see cars passed on from generation to generation. I also love the people you meet in the muscle car community. My dad and I are in the process of trying to get a 67 Chevelle SS to restore, which will be a dream come true! Hopefully one day I can pass on the love of muscle cars to my son. Thats why American Muscle Cars must stick around.

My name is Derion "Mustang James" and my first memory of muscle cars was my pop’s '86 mustang GT. That thing was a beast and was the first car that scared me. I started with a foxbody mustang in high school when I was 18 years old. Then I ended up in 94 mustang once my trans went out in the foxbody. Eventually I got the trans fixed and a few months later the engine blew. Then I put a down payment on a 2005 mustang gt. it was a great car until it was wrecked two months later, and then came up on my current 2014 GT. There’s just something about the sound and feel of a V8 that gives me this nostalgia feeling no other engine can replicate. To add to that, people have said that I look mean and sound mean my whole life (which is not the case) so driving V8's match my personality.

I’m LaNell and I drive a 08’ Chevy Corvette. My first memory of muscle cars was my grandfather and his C5 Corvette. The power and the sound definitely stood out and left a lasting impression on me. I love circuit racing which is my current set up. My cousin who has a 911 invited me to a track day with him. Circuit racing or even time attack is a lot more affordable and fun in my opinion. You aren’t as likely to break parts as frequently as you are with drag racing. Additionally, your driving ability is a pretty big factor and is constantly tested. Learning the course and how your car handles on the corners also adds to the fun. Muscle cars are important to me because they bring people together from various backgrounds. The customization of muscle cars allow us to express our own creativity to squeeze as much power and performance out of them. This allows American Muscle to compete with super cars from other countries.

My name is Nate and my first memory of muscle cars was my dads' friend's manual Dodge Challenger. That’s when I fell in love with MOPAR and the muscle car family. I drive a Challenger Scatpack myself. I love every second behind the wheel. I also receive a lot of attention when driving around the city. The car community is all about bringing people together who have similar interests. I’ve met cool people who I would have never come across if it wasn’t for muscle cars. Our community is getting close to being cut off due to the increased push of electric vehicles and I don’t want to lose such a great and involved community that I just joined. That's why it's up to enthusiasts like myself to keep it going!

Chuck - My first memory of muscle cars was my dad’s '93 foxbody 5.0. It was a black hard top and even had a car bra to match lol. He also had a yellow Camaro. Some say it's either ford or Chevy but my dad just loved muscle cars! I grew up watching him buy classics, fix them up and sell them. My favorite car he had was a white convertible '72 Cutlass 442 with black stripes. Every boy wants to be like his dad and I’m no different. That’s why I drive a 18’ Mustang GT. I want to continue the tradition and KEEP AMERICA MUSCLE.

My name is Jerry and my first muscle car was a '72 EL Camino. It had l a 350 engine and a 4 speed transmission. It was my dads car but I would drive it to school and cruise through the city. I had a lot of fun with it. We sold it and then got an '87 Grand National. My dad has always been into muscle cars. If it wasn’t for him I wouldn’t be so much into cars.
My current cars are a 2019 challenger hellcat WideBody and 1987 Buick Grand National. My hellcat is my daily driver and I can’t get enough of it.
Some of my favorite memories that I have about muscle cars is when my dad used to take me to these car shows. We would see all different types of cars from old school to new school. That was dad n son time hanging out checking out muscle cars.
I love the old school muscle cars b/c they have huge engines and tons of power and torque. They have all types of engines that come various sizes from 350, 454, 427 and many others. Depending on your preference you can customize your car to your liking which is one of the best things about cars. It’s nothing better than American Muscle and I definitely want to continue the tradition.

My first muscle car was my dad’s 1984 Cadillac Coupe Deville. He put a built 307 in it. Had the rear air ride suspension and all. Some of my favorite memories was in that vehicle. Learning how to drive in it. Taking it out, without a license, when my dad would be at work. Parking wasn’t a problem when having that large of a full metal vehicle. I definitely left some dings and dents on others car lol. Parking a boat like that in NY isn’t easy lol. I used to take that thing out racing at night with friends. Front and rear bench seats and red interior. The torque making it so easy to spin tires and who doesn’t like doing a burnout right. I've owned a couple cars and motorcycles in my life. 1998 Prelude SH, 1996 E36 Supercharged M3, 2001 CBR 929RR, 2004 CBR1000 , 2013 Hayabusa. All of which I built. So im no stranger to speed and fun cars. From driving with my boys down the Jackie Robinson parkway in NY, to the stretches of Road in Miami FL. But the only thing I missed was the feeling you get from having large amounts of torque.
So when I moved to Cali, I became a MOPAR fan. They offer the best of both worlds. Reliability and power. Within a 5 year span, had 4 brand new Mopars. 300S, Charger Scatpack, Widebody challenger Scatpack, and now Widebody challenger hellcat. Once feeling the power of a Mopar, you always want more. It never ends. Nothing more addicting than a fast car that’s fun to drive and looks great! You can go run a fast quarter mile and still drive home. Then take that same car on a road trip without a problem. How can you ask for anything more. But I love all muscle. Nothing like the sound, rumble and torque of American Muscle in any form!
