Muscle Car Power in Classic Cars for Sale

Checking out classic cars for sale is a great option if you've got your heart set on some real muscle car power but simply can't afford the unreal prices they are asking for the popular muscle cars.This list is not meant to be comprehensive, just a quick look at some choices that wouldn't cost too much but still have the muscle and performance you admire. Most of these could also be
cloned
to replicate the muscle car of your dreams. Purposely staying away from muscle cars that draw large bids at the auctions, we used the online NADA Classic Car Guide to find some classic American cars with powerful engines rated at least 300 horsepower, in less popular body styles, that have a value of $10,000 or less. The prices shown are for an “Average Retail” rating which is defined as good overall condition, an older restoration or well-maintained original vehicle with everything working or serviceable. That said, here are some classic cars for sale that might work for you.
