Muscle Car Power in Classic Cars for Sale

Custom Search


1971 Chevelle



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.

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.

Classic Car by Type Engine/Horsepower & Price*
1969 Pontiac Tempest 2 dr coupe, 4 speed 350 (330hp) $10,631
1967 Ford Falcon, 2 dr, 4 speed 390 (335 hp) $5670 (in excellent condition, $7560)
1971 AMC Javelin 2 dr, 4 speed 401 (330 hp) $10,240
1970 Mercury Marauder 2 dr 428 SCJ (335 hp) $10,688
1971 Chevelle 2 dr 454 $9533
1969 Ford Thunderbird 390 (320 hp) $9315
1968 Plymouth Belvedere 440 (375 hp) $6863
1968 Dodge Coronet 2 dr, 4 speed 440 (375 hp) $7490
1969 Oldsmobile Cutlass S 2 dr 350 (310 hp) $8596
1969 Ford Fairlane 2 dr, 4 speed 428 (335 hp) $10,040

*Prices as of July 2010

The prices for the Belvedere and the Coronet were surprising, in our opinion. The awesome Mopar 440 in a great classic body style. The Chevelle with a 454 and the 401-powered Javelin are also great deals. What classic car for sale could get you behind the wheel of a powerful American muscle machine?
