Classic = pedestrian version. Muscle = image cars of that time. IMHO, the beginning of the muscle car era began when OHV V8 engines started being more common, with multiple carburetion, fi, etc. I would have to say around 1957-ish.
Even though it is a land yacht, I definitely consider an early 60's 409 SS Impala a muscle car. I feel the same way about the early 60's mopars with max wedge engines. The list goes on... Here is a link to the Pure Stock Muscle Car Drags: http://www.purestockdrags.com/index....d=48&Itemid=53 Their definition is on that page.

I consider my 418hp12 Mustang GT and my 350hp 70SS 396 muscle cars.In my opinion cars built in the 70s and older are classic cars.

A Muscle Car was something that came out of the factory with performance in mind. A Classic Car could be any car over 10 years old. A Muscle Car could even be considered a Classic Car.
