Discover the 10 ultimate Sleeper Muscle cars from the 1960s and early 1970s that represent the best value for your money back then when performance mattered most. We're talking about plain, Chevy's, Ford, Dodges that no one would ever suspect pack a lethal punch when it came time to throw down.

Sleeper muscle cars are some of our favorites. Not just because they’re stealthy and quick, but also because of their rarity and the uniqueness of putting big power into stripped down, all business packages. The look and potential of these cars say to unsuspecting challengers, “I don’t need to broadcast my what I’m packing, but if you want to go.. just try me."

We also introduce a Price vs. Quick factor for our ranking that gives us a best performance for your dollar value if you were to buy these way back then. We calculate it like this: its ¼ mile time divides by its original price converted to today’s dollars. The higher the resulting number, the better its Price vs. Quick ranking.

    In the spring of 1967 I got off work at the chemical plant at 11 p.m. and went car shopping. Back then nobody thought anything about someone looking at used cars at midnight. At the Plymouth dealer's lot I found a beautiful 1966 GTO body color Candlelight Cream with black vinyl top and black interior. I pulled in for a closer look. Next to it was the plainest brown Plymouth Savoy you ever saw. As I walked up I looked inside the Plymouth and saw a Hurst 4-speed shifter. Curious I opened the hood and there was a Hemi with the staggered duel 4-barrel carbs. I drove it the next day, what a beast. I bought the GTO for $2400. The Plymouth was the same price.
  • For the people who don't know, the last Ford Fairlane was made in 2007, producing 230 kilowatts (310 hp) at 5,350 rpm and 500 newton-metres (370 lb⋅ft) of torque at 3,500 rpm, 1,703 were sold in 2007, the last 13 cars were sold in 2009, plated 2007.
  • Australia did have Coupes as Muscle car, but we had far more Muscle cars made as 4 door sedans, from 1966 to 2017, Holden even made SS Stationwagons with the L6 out of the corvette in them. Think about seeing a white family wagon at the shops powered by a corvette motor. or ever seening a Ford Taxi with a 4L Turbo thats able to out run a V8 crown vic cop car. Sleepers in Australia were off the charts when it came to not been seen with 4 doors

    When I was in high school in the early 70’s the fastest car in the lot was a 67’ Chevy ll with a 327 ci. He had American Racing Magnesium wheels with beefy meats in back. It was the best looking car in the school.
  • The 1971 Ford Falcon was the fastest 4 door sedan in the world at the time.
