Many people believe that except by definition the very first muscle car was the 1957 Rambler Rebel. I collect Ramblers but never liked this one, it's too stodgy and poor styling to me, but the first smaller car with bigger V8 (327 mid-block).
My father owned the 1964 Rambler Tarpon prototype, also 327 4bbl Hurst 4 speed w/overdrive on the American platform. Basically a 2 seater with small back seat.
He bought it before the 1964.5 Mustang was introduced.
Any information I've found online about the Tarpon is incorrect.

I don't think I've ever had a cat that showed any interest whatsoever in catnip.

Me too. Our current cat could care less.

I guess he is too cool.

Hard to think of a Rambler as a muscle car, it's image is more "grandma". That having been said, in the early 70s a friend of mine's parents had a Rebel Machine. In the words of his father, it'll pass anything but a gas station.

Damn, that's what my friends used to say about one of my old cars. And here, I thought they were creative enough to have come up with that on their own! Didn't know it was an old saying.

Almost every one of those people died.
