You guys may not classify them as muscle, but for what they were-they weren't half bad. 1975 2 + 2 Chevy Monza 262 v8 4 speed. Same combo as now being run as a pass national record holder from Canada. I had a 1975 4 speed model that wasn't all that fast e.t. wise, but with the 2.....rear end felt like it could have run nascar top end. Also had a 1977 2 + 2 305 v8 auto/ a/c that my wife drove and they also were a good street light warrior. The all time sleeper factory V8 Monza was to Calif 1975 model. The 262 would not pass Calif smog test, so they used a factory 350 into Calif that would. Never saw one in the Mid west as I would think that would have been rather limited.
