Classic muscle cars are an instant Sub-Zero from me, no exceptions.

Especially since this is my favorite Mopar. Would absolutely love a 1970 GTX.

I wonder how many classic muscle cars are left that haven't been polled before. Can't be many. They aren't my favorite class of cars but I still love them nonetheless. I assume it's just part of being American. I'd take a 1970 GTX too.
 
Definitely one of the cooler muscle cars of the era. Although it's just as fast and brash as the traditional "greats", the GTX is certainly more of an underdog and doesn't garner nearly as much attention as the Cuda or Superbird, or it's rivals (Chevelle, Cougar, Torino), which is for the better. However, like most exclusive and low volume muscle cars, the majority of these cars are sitting, gathering dust in the garage of a wealthy boomer, and driven very scarcely, if at all even, which is a shame, considering that the point of a meaty muscle car like this is to burn rubber and tear up the streets! Nevertheless, its still without a doubt deserving of a Cool vote.

I also admire how the GTX slightly changed it's look each year. Although the '68-'70 GTX were all part of the same generation, the car looks noticeably different for each model year. The '70 model the best looking in my opinion. A car slightly changing it's design each year was something that was quite common back in the 1960s America but unheard of today.
