Jim, Ron, Steven,
I said there would be some surprises, according to the definition at that
website.
Lest we forget the W-31 optioned F-85!
and
Wow from what I gather a 1970 w-30 cutlass would not be considered a
muscle
car.
But a similarly equipped 442 would be a muscle car.
Because of the badging on the car.
According to my SUPER TUNING and BLUEPRINTING OLDS "W" MACHINES, W-30 W-31
W-32, Registered NHRA Limits, for the '68-'69 model year, one had to order
the 442 option first, which automatically was the W-32 (400 standard engine
286 cam). The W-30 could be picked instead of the W-32 to get the 400 engine
with the 328 cam in a 442, along with the other goodies for a W-30. The W-31
SB with 308 cam was simply an add-on option to an Olds A-body. I would
assume for '70-'71, a W-30 was selected as an option **after** the 442
option was selected by the buyer, similar to the '68-'69 buying procedure.
What does that make my Rallye350? A bastard child? Redheaded stepson?
I don't know. Look at the following for another take on the definition of a
Muscle Car.
