I like the early muscle cars like this one. I'm more of a Ford Mustang guy though. I had a '65 289/4bbl (not HiPo) with Pony interior, factory air, RallyPac and a vinyl roof. It also had the optional seatbelts no the optional driver's side mirror. sadly, the frame starting behind the doors all the way to the rear bumper was rusted through completely as a result of 25 years in Minnesota. I couldn't afford the restoration and sold the car.
Getting back to your picture, it's a nice action shot. Great spin on the wheels and blurred background, but overall it looks oversaturated on my monitor (the reds and greens look kinda garish). I won't say the car is beautiful, because, well, it's butt-ugly, but you captured a classic, no-nonsense car the way it's meant to be seen - moving.
