    Love your website, nice material. Most muscle car fans automatically choose to believe the ’64 GTO was the first muscle car, but in reality, the first muscle cars were the 1962 Plymouths and Dodge’s with the Max Wedge 413 engines .They were as ugly as sin (compared to a ’64 GTO), but had powertrains that were high-horsepower, engineering wonders compared to the rather ordinary 389 GTO engines of 1964. Both the Plymouth and Doidge versions of that 415-hp (significantly underrated by at least 50 hp) 413-v8 would blow the doors off of a ´64 GTO, and for that matter, any GTO built during 1964-1972.

    Which auto manufacturer introduced the first pony car?
    The correct answer is actually Plymouth(Barracuda). It was brought to market two weeks before Ford released the Mustang.

    My friend had a ’67 GTO with what he said was a 389 (wikipedia says it had to be a 400), but it had the Tri-Power 3 Rochester 2bbl. set-up on it.

    Which American muscle car utilized a “Tri-Power” carburetor setup during the 1960s?
    I believe there are two answers that question. Olds 442 in ’66 offered 3 carb as did Pontiac GTO. Look it up, the Olds engine was a 400.

      Some 427 Corvettes had a 3×2 intake, as did some versions of Mopar´s 340 and 440 v-8s.
