Muscle Car Power in Classic Cars for Sale

Custom Search


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 around $10,000 or less.

That said, here are some classic cars for sale that might work for you.

Classic Car by Type Engine/Horsepower & Price
*1969 Pontiac Tempest 2 dr coupe, 4 speed 350 (330hp) $11,340
**1967 Ford Falcon, 2 dr, 4 speed 390 (335 hp) $$5,074 (in excellent condition, $6,650)
1971 AMC Javelin 2 dr, 4 speed 401 (330 hp) $10,290
**1970 Mercury Marauder 2 dr 428 SCJ (335 hp) $9940
1971 Chevelle 2 dr 454 $9532
1969 Ford Thunderbird 390 (320 hp) $9315
*1968 Plymouth Belvedere 440 (375 hp) $7200
*1968 Dodge Coronet 2 dr, 4 speed 440 (375 hp) $8224
*1969 Oldsmobile Cutlass S 2 dr 350 (310 hp) $10,462
**1969 Ford Fairlane 2 dr, 4 speed 428 (335 hp) $9120

NOTE: Prices as of August 2011

*These models INCREASED in value.**These models DECREASED in value.

The prices shown are for an "Average Retail" rating which is defined by NADA as good overall condition, an older restoration or well-maintained original vehicle with everything working or serviceable. The perfect kind of car if you want to finally sit behind the wheel at the Christmas tree at your local drag strip or customize your own cruiser for local car shows.

The prices for the Belvedere and the Coronet are surprising, in our opinion. The awesome Mopar 440 in a great classic body style is a good buy. The base Chevelle with a 454 and the 401-powered Javelin are also great deals. A '67 Ford Falcon makes a sweet drag car...if you want to get prepared for that trip down the quarter mile, check out drag-racing-tutor for some good info.
