Musclecars That Should Have Been Made

[Paul Ceasrine]

Jim,
I knew you'd go AMC.
A blast from the past, 1974 Matador-X with a 401.
Car Craft got a stock one to go 15.38. Not too shabby.
By the way, you get one that turned into an airplane.

How about a 1970 Maverick with the 429 SCJ
c6 or Top Loader manual
Bench seat only
plain wrapper only

I have an idea that you Buick fans may like...how about the Buick Skyhawk with the engine out of the GNX in it? Heck, if it could get the GNX Regal to run 13.2's in '87, imagine what it would've done with the much lighter Skyhawk...Lane what do you think of that one bud?

Or how about you this one for the Mopar contingent...The Dodge Shadow and Daytona with that wicked 340 in it?

They could've made special edition rwd versions of those cars, as well as a 351 Cleveland (or even a 302), for the Ford Tempo.

Chevrolet could've had their Cavalier line converted to rwd and had a choice between the 302 & 350 V8's available too???

Talk about pocket rockets.....

Mopar Performance did offer somewhat of a v8 and rwd conversion kit for the Daytona.

401 powered 70s CJ-5, a buddy of mine built one and it was scary

That's cool Peter, but I wish they would've made that into a regular production offering to challenge the Mustangs, Camaro's and Firebirds of their time...that would've been cool to see, and as an OEM offering too? Nice......

Calling whay MP offered a "kit" would be optomistic. It was like 2 pieces of steel and a welder, minus the welder.
