While I was writing the other day, I saw a commenter on another car website talking about how muscle cars are becoming more expensive and thus are further and further away from the grasp of blue-collar enthusiasts. While that statement is fairly true, the problem with that statement is it pertains mostly to 1964 to 1974 muscle cars. While the later muscle cars are not as desirable and fast as their predecessors, their handling is fairly decent, as is their performance. This muscle car is a 1979 Hurst/Olds, and is believed to be the first one built for 1979.
