Will They Ever Make Genuine Muscle Cars Again?

If you are someone in your forties or fifties, and you have fond reminiscences of your first car, more than likely you drove an All-American muscle car. Many people all through the United States are on a quest to find classic muscle cars to restore. The biggest reason for this is happening because nobody makes cars like this anymore. Everyone seems to be asking themselves why no one has started to build muscle cars again.

Chevy and Ford continue to distribute new versions of their legendary Camaro and Mustang every few years. The drawback is really that these cars today are nothing like the powerful muscle cars they once were. Will there possibly be the next car that has a 327 and a 4 barrel carburetor? The regrettable truth is we most likely are not going to have one ever again.

The main problem is people want to correct things when they are not necessarily faulty in the first place. For example the 1967 Camaro which happens to be one of the most preferred muscle cars ever created. Even with its popularity, Chevy made a decision to stop making this particular version. Which also goes for the 1966 Mustang, an amazing car with a great style and they just stopped making it.

Here's the place it becomes intriguing. The legendary VW Bug ended key production in the late seventies, but was released a few decades later. While the the latest Bug sold great they could possibly have sold more if they simply just went back to the old style of Bug. It can't be helped that these people believe that new is always better.

Among the significant concerns is this. What might you do if Chevy declared that they were producing a new Camaro with a 327 engine and a 4 barrel carburetor with no modern technology? I asked this question to practically hundreds of people throughout the years and they all said they would without delay get one. So what is the problem with the car companies? If people want the good old days, when is some auto company planning to give people what they want.



What will it take for GM or Ford to make a decision to make those classic muscle cars once again? I think that they may become hot sellers. However until these firms start paying attention to their customers, you'll have people looking for old muscle cars to restore.



Who knows perhaps someday a muscle car aficionado will end up with an influential position in one of those major automobile companies and be able to talk some sense into them. At the moment, these honchos think technology makes better cars. You'll find it is probably a better idea to merely go back to your roots.
