I'm not sure Corvettes are considered Muscle cars. No more than a Porsche 924 or 928 is a "muscle car." Those are sports cars and while fast and agile, not so much off the line. Muscle cars were usually compact or small sedans and ragtops that were fast off the line because they held huge engines, but were pigs in the twisties.
Built for stoplight street racing, they were power and noise you didn't have to build yourself. You could buy it off the rack.
Still, the Corvette is a beautiful bit of Automobile art and certainly classic.
My favorite "muscle" car would be the Oldsmobile 442 Cutlasses. Built on the Olds F-85 platform, they were fast off the line but could not hold the road in the twisties. The '68's were beautiful.
Chevy and Buick came out with similar models as well.
THAT, my friend, is MUSCLE!

- The 442 was officially made its own model in 1968.
- The special limited edition Hurst/Olds was introduced and produced nearly 400 horsepower.
- Completely redesigned from the previous year, the 442 sported the then-popular fastback design for the first time ever.

Yep, you are right Franc. Corvette would be sports but ....still my fav.
Of the official muscle cars I would choose the 66 Chevelle SS. 396 convertible One sweet ride. Number two would be the Pontiac Judge convertible. A friend had the Judge. Loved riding in that car. In the early 70's I bought a 66 Chevelle Malibu Convertible. It only had a 283 in it and had 96k on the odometer when I bought it. Wish I had kept it.
Pics of a 66 SS, like mine in color and and rally wheels but mine was not a SS.
And here is the 69 Judge convertible. The one I rode in looked better, it was white with two orange stripes going front to back on the hood and trunk.

1975 Oldsmobile Vista cruiser
And yes, a muscle car of rare breeding.
My dad ordered it factory built.
Could be had with the 442 engine and drive train. As mean as the sedan version. I never saw it beaten on street racing, which of course, I never did.
