Old school domestic tuner car

I suppose that depends how you define "muscle car". To me the muscle cars died out around '72-'73 right before the oil embargo. Shortly after that you start seeing cars with big block motors like 454s making power in the low 200hp range. Then out came the carbed small block motors making almost embarrassing numbers (150hp-200hp). Then the engines picked up a bit with fuel injection but to me fuel injection or any kind of computer control negates any chance at the title of "muscle car". But that's me. In '84 the SVO was your top choice in the Mustang line for power and handling. There are even a handful of "comp prep" models lying around with radio deletes and manual everything. It's just nice to see an American marketed car in '84 with a stock top speed somehwere slightly north of 150mph.
