Any good red-blooded American loves his muscle car, and that’s a trait he’ll never lose. I’ve had a love for muscle cars since I was a kid. Love has only grown stronger with age, you know the old saying, the only difference between a boy and a man is the price of his toys.
Nothing could be more true, if you loved muscle cars as a kid, chances are you will as an adult. The biggest difference is that now you have the means to buy them, well, hopefully. A muscle car will be in your heart forever.
As a kid, he loved the sound of a real muscle car, and he loves the way they look, but most of all he loved the power if he had to ride in one as a kid. As an adult, he wants to buy a muscle car and modify it to fit his idea of what it should be.
Typically as a guy you are looking for custom paint and a very high performance engine. You also don’t care how you accomplish these two things, as long as the car turns out the way you think it should.
With the muscle car, most of us guys have a preference as to which build we like, I always loved the Chevrolet Camaro but another guy loves the Ford Mustang or the Dodge Charger. It doesn’t really matter as long as you love your American car.
We love the hot heights of summer on Main Street showing off our custom cars. We love winning the race and we love filling the seat with the prettiest girls in town. But most of all, it’s about making our car what we want it to be and work the way it should.
If we go out on a weekend and lose a race, you can bet we’re in the garage squeezing more power out of the performance car. This is a constant battle, we add superchargers, nitrous and fuel injection to make our custom car win the race.
We love the huge, obnoxious camshaft that only we can stand to be around. We can’t wait to add more power or customize the paint job a bit more. Yes, we love to display our artwork. We tried to create a car that we have never seen before, a true unique masterpiece.
For most custom car fans, his muscle car is a feat that has never been accomplished by any other man before and can never be done again. They are special to us, they give us a sense of joy that nothing else can do, and we love them for it, nothing is like a muscle car.
There is no question that we can spend a lot of time making our muscle cars what we want them to be. But nothing else comes close to the feeling of satisfaction we get from building a muscle car.
