What is the difference between a Muscle and Classic car ?

[Ms Grumpy]

So ultimately the terms Classic car and Muscle car have many definitions. I like how many of you have explained them, definitely better than the article did.

So a question here. What would you consider flash's 1972 Malibu Convertible ? Is is a sports car, maybe not because it has a back seat. It is a classic car, but is it a muscle car ?

flash, hope your not upset with me for using your car, or should I say the Mrs. car. But it can fall into a few different categories, just like many other cars. So it seems that figuring the question of Classic or Muscle car, can turn out to be a never ending discussion.
