Muscle car owners here?
Im sure there are some other muscle car owners here. If so post a pic of your ride.
Here is mine. 1970 Orbit Orange Pontiac GTO. Just about finished with frame off restoration. Matching numbers pontiac 400/400. His/Hers hurst shifter.
Still need to do some wet sanding and wheeling on the paint. Then the "Judge" stripe kit. I will be showing it this year.

Not quite on par w your 400.... and definitely no numbers matching but I guess it classifies...
1987 TA
w/ 385, TKO500, Ford 9in and too much else.
Love your build though... nice to see it striped properly and built well. Looks healthy...

Very nice Goat!!! Great job on bringing it back to life. I'm a muscle car enthusiast but don't have one in my line up yet. Mainly due to I couldn't do one the way I want to yet, so I practice on cheap cars that have been casted off as undesirables, lol. Closest thing would be my malibu that I bought back when I was 17, been messing around with that for about 12 years now, learning every aspect I can. Though it's a 4dr and completely worthless, it's an excellent test bed to make mistakes on.
Under the hood, a 350 Rocket, th350 trans, 10 bolt 3.73 out back. Future plans include an Olds 455, possibly 4 speed and redo my crappy paint job.
The next guinea pig, an 81 AMC Eagle, lol, this car sat under a pine tree untouched for 15 years before I got ahold of it. It's actually my gf's car, but I spent many hours bringing it back to a daily drivable car.
Brought it home 6/24/09
(That's a 64 falcon in the background, grandfathers car).
This was taken about a week after I painted it, and started re-assembly, 11/29/09.
Cruise in 2011
My 88 Cherokee was the next test subject, my 84 Eagle will be my follow up to that. My work is improving so, hopefully the near future I'll drag home something from an older era, and by then I'll be able to do the car justice.

Sweet Eagle above!!
This is my project Javelin. Gotta finish the rust repair and body/paint work but the drivetrain is pretty set. I have an entire new inerior for it as well.

Love em guys! Not a big "F" body fan. Ive owned a few, but the color with the Ws6 hood on that one looks like sex.
Love the malibu also. I almost bought a 79 a few years back. Probably should have!
Gotta love the AMCs, just because they are getting so rare.
Had a chance to buy a Javelin from a woman I worked with about 8 years ago, but the fear of finding parts kept me away from it.
AH! The mustang, Ive owned a yard full of fox body mustangs. I love me some mustangs. That one looks beautiful, do you show it any?
Im a car guy period! Its my passion I guess. The only ones I aint impressed with or blowing money on is the imports. I love me some classic AMERICAN MUSCLE no matter what brand whether its Ford, Mopar, Chevy love em all.
KEEP EM COMING if ya got em!

interior cost a lot and the 340 cost a lil bit...
duster was 7K and looked good but i repainted it anyways.
