Is everyone as much of a Muscle car nut that they see all of them?

Do you see all of the muscle cars on the road or parked in a yard?  I know that when you spot a mopar your eyes light up.   :bigsmile:

I see a mustang going to work and saw a nova today as well.  I see several going and coming from Alabama each weekend some new but I see the ones I always see.  There is a 56 Ford and a 57 Chevy I see each time and a 72 Chevelle.

In sunny California, we see them every day.  Mostly Cameros and Mustangs, but today I saw two Mopars.  a 73 Challenger and a 70/71 Duster.

As for how many a day, it varies from day to day.

And, yes I still like to see them on the road.  :burnout:

  Over here in Australia where I live we only see the occasional true muscle car,   :burnout:   plenty of late model Holdens (GM) & Fords.   :puke:
  I am doing my bit to keep the muscle cars presence alive. There is a stingray floating around, only it seems to be on the back of a tow truck after going out, he is a local mechanic too ( I don't recommend that shop to anyone ).   :working:

At this time of year in northwestern Ontario, everything has been put away for the winter. In the summer time you can usually spot five or six a day. Mostly Mopars and GMs, very few Fords. I still scan fields and yards for neglected/unwanted cars but those have become hard to find.

I pointed out a 71 Duster to wife in the Wal-Mart parking lot last night.  The best thing is when the wife points one out AND gets the model correct  :clapping:

Most are parked or maybe even put away for winter now in New England.  Although this week I did see an early 60's Chevy Nova and something else (my poor memory...) driving around.

Now I have my 9 year old son trained to find cars when we are driving around.  :D

Around here (Heber springs Arkansas) I see a bunch of old cars sitting in the grass. There's a second gen Charger behind someone's house a little south of here, looks like it has trees growing out of it. Its a blue one. I've been wanting to go by and ask about it, but I haven't really had a chance. There is a pristine 68 Charger RT that drives around, and also a 70 or 71 chevelle, not really sure since I don't know as much about chevys. There is a higher percentage of Mopars to other cars around here for some reason. I like it!

Around here they are getting put away for the winter right now. You don't see alot of muscle cars in the summer unless there is a show or cruise.

The very few I see are usually Chebbies.  This definitely isn't a Mopar haven where I live.
