Remember when old cars were just, old? When a scratch in the paint or a door ding didn’t matter? Somewhere along the line people lost sight of that and …

Ratty Muscle Cars – The House Of Muscle Ep. 8
That thing looks like an action car that will never die and it's badass
Amazing I don't care what you say about classic muscle cars in my opinion they have a great history and worth more than a plastic stuff junk in today's society real muscle never dies still looking for my 70 charger dream 🚗
No new episodes?
I had a 71 340 cuda 4 spd back in the 80s , I am usually into really clean cars, but I have to admit , this is pretty cool, ya the 340 was a great motor , very underated
MOPAR.
hey what ever happen no more updates?? i actually got motivated to fix my 79 z28 watching this hope u post soon!!
Absolutely beautiful car
Gotta love a healthy patina muscle car
This was a great opportunity to see all the great people and cars
I hate it when other people have the gall to tell me what I "ought" to do with my car or truck. It's my car, my budget, my life, and my choice. Go buy your own and do that your way.
I've always had ratty musclecars too. Way back in 91, I got a FREE, banged up, gutted, rusted out 68 Charger RT. Put a FREE 400 and 727 in it, and 3.91s, and eventually ran 13.39 at 106mph at Mission Raceway, just across the border in BC. It's in Car Craft Readers Rides, July 98, page 93. I'm Jeff, Donell is my wife.
"I've made it an AAR" — camera promptly pans to rear exhaust: FAIL.
This is nice! back in the days alot of muscle cars roamed the streets in similar condition
I respect the way he runs it but these cars ain't gonna be around forever. I'd watch the rust
No thanks . I have too much respect for the great cars of my youth not to restore their original brilliance. You can drive whatever you want but don't call it cool
to disrespect these magnificent machines.
I put it in the same class as these @$$holes who walk around with their underwear hanging out. Real rebels.
Nice beast i got 2 68 rivieras one is a gs got a 455 in it about to drop a 455 from a 75 riviera in the non gs i spend my time restoring this classics i rather have metal car than platic car
In Europe we do the same, for example in Sweden we have meetings with maby 3000 – 5000 cars in the summer! In Germany they do the same and we have one thing in our hed: Amerikan cars from 1971 and older!
Fk man if I brake it I need some one to fix it I don’t know much about cars but I love old school cars
I love this whole movement, my 85 Monte Carlo takes me everywhere and I have a blast no matter what, it's not pretty, but it's mean, and it's a 4 speed manual, never came like that, but I love it.
I had an old Chevy van like that. No it was worse than these. No it was much worse, there was definitely a mad max thing going.
It was surprisingly reliable!
Lots of funny stories!
I knew I would miss it, but had no idea I would miss it as much as I do
Meet Austin the year before my dad passed away and he is the real deal man. He is a true Ratty Muscle Car lover
If I had a cuda that's how it would look
That 340 makes some power
Great vid. 1979 Malmstrom AFB Montana , first duty base in the USAF. Age 18. Found a " slightly rusty " 70 Dodge Coronet 2 door 383 car with a blown engine. Shiny red with a white interior. I hunted around for another BB Dodge engine and of all places, found a wrecked 1972 Dodge Polara Highway Patrol car. It had been heavily rear ended and had been sitting in the weeds for a couple of years at a foreign car dealer just off of the base. It showed 92,000 miles on it and under the hood there was a mouse nest in the carb. The dealer poured some gas in the carb and sprayed some ether in it and it STARTED and ran. It was noisy and smoky at first but settled down. It drove on the lot. I bought the car for $275. I found a local guy to put the 440 into the 70 Coronet and besides fluids, plugs and belts …it RAN like crazy. And the trans had a shift kit and a cam in it. At idle, the car vibrated so much the mirrors were useless. I passed a Highway Patrol Officer on a traffic stop in I-10 ( same road where Thunderbolt and Lightfoot was filmed) in triple digits. He eventually caught up to me but I didn't get a ticket.:)
I can appreciate these cars in any condition to be honest, I'm just so type A I had to restore my Chevelle.
How did the AAR decals get such awesome patina?
Thank God I found this again
Wheres that Jakes Dragstrip?
340 held some kind of NHRA record for its class for a long time in a Duster or Demon or something.
i liked the intro lol.
Yeah I've been saying this for years… The cars were built to be driven, raced, driven fast and enjoyed. All of the cars that I have owned were actually pretty clean Factory examples that I built up and took out and enjoyed on the road weather be burnouts or whatever. If it's a trailer Queen, and it constantly sets in a climate-controlled garage with a paint job on it that cost $6,000… Well good for you but that's never going to happen to me. I mean I respect the people to do whatever with their cars. But honestly if you are so worried about a tiny little Dent or scratch, perfect paint no dust Flawless interior… You better have a pretty high-dollar collector car. Some of the cars that people own are just not that… They are rough they are Rusty that have dents in them… Yep these are the best ones actually. These people are enjoying their vehicles just like what we see here.
Can't wait till I get a challenger 426 shaker R/T top most legendary card in the muscle is my dream favorite car with a Hurst pistol grip.
need more car clubs like that. a++++
Well done! Rock on man!
