1972 Pontiac GTO photo
I’ve owned multiple muscle cars over the years. Here’s my 1972 GTO Survivor 400/auto I sold a few years ago. I’m the current caretaker of a 1972 Dodge Charger Rallye.

Hi, I’m Ryan, a self-confessed muscle car fanatic who has turned his passion for these powerful muscle machines into a website celebrating their beauty, history, and raw power.

I grew up in Michigan during the 1970s, and Classic American muscle cars were everywhere. My father had a business in a small town filled with employees from Ford, General Motors, and Chrysler, and many of my relatives worked for them. So, they were a common sight for me growing up.

When I was just 15 years old, I purchased my first muscle car, a 1971 Chevelle Super Sport clone. I was hooked from the moment I laid eyes on it, and I spent countless hours working on it and learning everything I could about muscle cars.

Since then, I’ve spent countless weekends attending car shows, auctions, swap meets, and drag strips, always looking for forgotten or overlooked muscle cars. My camera is always by my side, and I love nothing more than documenting these amazing machines and sharing their stories with the world.

But my passion for Classic muscle cars isn’t just about the thrill of the chase. I’m also dedicated to helping others explore this amazing world, whether experienced collectors or new enthusiasts just starting their journey. That’s why I created Muscle Cars Illustrated, a website offering information, insights, and inspiration for anyone who loves American muscle cars.

In addition to sharing photos and stories of these amazing supercars, I provide valuable information on everything related to muscle cars. This includes product reviews and comparisons, tips on buyingsellingrestoring, and maintaining one, and so much more.

So, whether you’re a seasoned muscle car enthusiast or just starting your journey, Muscle Cars Illustrated has something for everyone. Be sure to subscribe to our email updates and follow us on Facebook and Instagram for the latest news, photos, and insights into the world of muscle cars.

Thank you for joining me on this amazing journey, and I can’t wait to share more with you on Muscle Cars Illustrated!
