Athough i am not a huge American car fan i think these two cars will match my Urwerk well

Ok, guys - time to share our appreciation . . .
. . . for American muscle. Cars, that is! (And hot rods, too.) Regulars here know I'm a Mopar guy, and that E-body 'Cudas are my absolute favorite. Now, if I could go back in time and bring back just one from a Plymouth dealership, it wouldn't be a 426 He...
MOPAR Porn!
Dear, God, what an unholy beast! Love it! Can't wait to see more photos! I still shutter to think that 70-71 topless hemi Cudas pull $2-3m at auction these days.
Photos from the roadster show will be up Sunday morning, Todd. In the meantime . . .
. . . kindly share the watch you're wearing this weekend. Thanks, Art
Don’t judge me! 🤔
But since you asked what watch I’m wearing, here you go: I’ve had a nasty virus for the past week and today was my first day back among the living. This was delivered during my down time. It was an absolute impulse buy. I’ll explain more when I do my post...
No worries, Todd - I won't judge you . . .
. . . but would be most thankful if you could see your way to judging Watch of the Week on Sunday. ;-)
I do judge you...
In the sense that I really respect your choice! It should be about the pieces that connect or touch us emotionally in some way, whether haute horlogerie or not. Kudos for this and I hope you will have many a fun year with the watch
and that's the point I was trying to make with my article.
We all buy watches for different reasons and I do have a special connection with this one. I watched him at Basel, paint the dial, then I spent time talking to him. And once history has it's vote, I think we'll find that this watch will have a cult-like f...
Even if it never acquires a cult following...
You will always have Basel And your connection will be there irrespective - which is what counts!
Art, mine is not a muscle car...
but it sure is my muscle. My 2002 Ford Ranger has a 3 liter V-6 which seems to be able to haul almost anything I need it to. My Ranger is just like my Lacher / Laco Admiral. The Lacher takes on any abuse I can give it. Never serviced, but the Lacher start...
More brawn than muscle, eh? I get it, j! . . .
. . . big love for trucks here, especially '50s Studebakers. Art
LOL! From you title...
I thought you would go environmental friendly....! Should have known better... Best Blomman
Cheers dear Abel
I know you have a cult American in your stable Great weekend to you and all yours D
Remember the story about the blond behind the wheel of a Hemi R/T Charger . . .
. . . that blew off my pal in his '70 GTX? Well, it was a '69, just like the one you posted, and green to boot.
I've shared this story a few times, but here 'tis again. January '73: I was . . .
. . . riding shotgun in my pal's orange '70 440 Plymouth GTX on our way to the Riverside 500. Transitioning to the 91 freeway on a brand-new overpass, tooling along at 80+, we came upon a green '69 Hemi Charger R/T. Pulled up alongside: the driver was a b...
Now, if Berge had popped for a 440 Six Pack . . .
. . . instead of the regular four barrel, he would've had a shot of keeping up with her. Nothing like 1300+ cfm of fuel 'n air pouring into a high compression 440! ...
Hmm..."American" you said?
Ok, for me there can only be one and i leave it up to you if you count it into the muscle section. 1965 Corvette with one of the best ever car ad photos made... And for the watch. I will go full (Swiss) metal with the GP Laureato 8010. HAGWE, CC ...
Great choice dear CC!! The Corvette shot is ...
... charming as the car and your Laureato! Hagwe! Abel
Oh, most 'Vettes were absolutely, positively . . .
. . . in the muscle car class. Some just had more muscle than others.
Guess what was on display at the Pomona Roadster show, CC - a yellow . . .
. . . '67 convertible 'Vette, like the one of your dreams . . . . . . only faster. Yup, one of the incredibly rare and unbelievably quick 427 Tri-Power models. The ultimate GM dream machine . . . ...
I love that blue FP Journe as much as the Mustang...
... my dear Alkiro! I’d love to ride mine with that watch on my wrist!! Hagwe my dear friend! Abel
I’m sure of that dear Alkiro!! What a wonderful place to enjoy both...
a beautiful classic car and a fantastic timepiece!! Cheers! Abel
Oh yes definitely my friend
Lake, mountains, sunny day and even vineyards 😉 Best wishes Alkiro ...
Do not hesitate to post few shots just for us if you can one day 😉
Best wishes Alkiro
One of my high school teachers drove a '70 Boss 429 Mustang . . .
. . . and parked it across the street to avoid attention. We would spend our lunch breaks admiring it. What a beast. Art ...
What could be more natural than ZZ Top and hot rods? How about . . .
. . . Johnny Hallyday . . . . . . and a '67 Mustang? Btw, there were a dozen Dodge Challenger T/As delivered to France in 1970 . . . you should be looking for one of them. ;-) ...
That suitcase!
I'm waiting for the day when boxed watches are delivered with forklifts.
Well played my dear friend!! Muscle watch is a good title...
... for this beauty! Love the suitcase too!! Hagwe my friend Nicolas!! Abel
That modified '70 Mustang fastback is a natural match . . .
. . . for your Urwerk! Art
Back in the 80s......
......there was one of these in the family....I think it was my older brother's car, but not sure. It was maroon.... Not a great shot of the watch on my wrist, but .....IPhone..... ...
Wow dear Joe!! That fastback Mustang is fantastic!!...
... your brother really drove with style!! You know how much I love these ponies!! Love the watch as well!! Hagwe! Abel
Your brother had a '66 fastback? Mine had . . .
. . . a '68 coupe while he was in college. After, I think, he wrecked our '65 Dodge Dart GT. :-(
Memory is vague. I was a very small kid.
It was not a 65 or 66. 70s model. One of first in UK
I can’t think of any American muscle car that I can afford at the moment..
but any muscled American car that I like or love shall be either a simple Mustang or the Ford GT. At present I am enjoying the simple German W205 C250.. 😬 Pic taken right before lunch. ...
Hey for your info this Hamilton will be made available next month onwards
Moreover another dial variant will be made available in May this year, a color which may appeal to you..matte brown.
Not sure if these qualify as muscle cars...
From another era though, when they were stunning to look at! HAGWE All, Cheers, Tim ...
Thanks Abel,
Mrs J has the pleasure of this Sarpaneva. V happy to have it in the family 😜 Cheers!
The red '60 Impala has a 400+ hp crate motor . . .
. . . so it's definitely a musc ular car, Tim.
The closest I get to a US muscle car ....
Is this car I found at a flee market in NYC! Best Blomman ...
Ha ha ha! Great shots dear Blomman!! A collection piece for sure!!
I love the watch of course! Hagwe! Abel
Hmmhh.. Not that easy for me this time.. But let me see how to play..
Well, haven‘t really got pics from US muscle cars, but hoping for your benevolence, here my chips.. Two of my weekend choices - Geophysics Versatile pleasure - Reverso Tribute Duo Bleu - Ready for the evening.. The cars I’d like to share below are from th...
Your watches and the AC Cobra keep me drooling my desr HS!!
Hagwe my dear friend!! Abel
Dear Art: You show a true Red Beauty to open this thread... it shows the spirit of the words "Muscle Cars" in all its glory! In my personal case...
... I have a love affair with the Ford Mustang, a car which I learned about in 1964 when I was a 16 years old ladd reading about its launching through the pages of the Spanish edition of Popular Mechanics magazine (Mecanica Popular down here) Wow! I dream...
Hola Nicolas!! Muchas gracias mi amigo!! I’m happy...
... to know you like this old pony my friend!! This project kept us busy during three or four years at the beginning of the year 2000. My son has all the merits. We brought lots of replacements parts from the USA including the correct decals inside the en...
Thanks a lot dear Alkiro! My dad was a Mustang and Rolex fan too...
... and that trip is a lovely reminder of him which I treasure so much! The Mustang keeps three generations united somehow as you well say! I hope you’ll do a trip with your son and will enjoy and treasure every minute spent with him! Hagwe! Abel
You're not the only guy with love for 'Stangs, Abel . . .
. . . Jay digs 'em, too. ;-)
Waaooaahh !.. What a travel, what a line-up & what a story !.. Very personal & heartwarming
Love a whole nbr of your pics, but my sentimental picks are the 1st red & the Cockpit lume shot - bewitching & uber-cool !! Best & Congrats to father & son, gor taking such a journey together & still keeping the tradition ! Bravo, Abel !! Best, hs. ) PS: ...
If we talk MOPAR we talk Plymouth
And today I’m wearing something vintage just like the cars, But driving the opposite... ...
" . . . and God, in his . . .
. . . Fury . . . . . . drove Adam and Eve from the Garden of Eden." . . . ...
This is a largely hypothetical one for me...
I have only ever driven one car that vaguely fits the category, and that’s more Pony than Muscle. Still, it did sound nice and go OK, even if it was far outside its comfort zone on an icy handling track The watch - my Minerva Pythagore - could hardly be m...
The latest Mustangs finally have irs . . .
. . . after five decades of live axles, so maybe it's time to revisit that test track. ;-)
Nearly 50 yrs ago........
.......a 'nam vet with only his Zodiac Aerospace and a $ deposit from back pay decides to buy one of these to drive across the 1970's USA - at 0-60 in under 5 secs, he's the definitive Road Runner - 'meep meep' ...
:-) Cant have been many faster street legal cars at the time
but i wouldn't want to steer this car around a corner in anger!
I've memories of being with Dad on a visit to Huntington Beach Chrysler Plymouth . . .
. . . in either late '69 or early '70, and seeing a yellow Superbird on the lot alongside Roadrunners and Hemi 'Cudas. The salesman walks up to Dad and says, "What can I do for you?" Dad says, pointing to the lime green Hemi 'Cuda, and then in my directio...
Great story Art!
Amazing how cars have obtained classic status & value escalated - oh for a time machine!
