Domestic exotic muscle? I'd say yes.
Another top-notch casting - this one's just about perfect IMO. thumbsup.gif

A fine casting. I'm quite partial to the Gulf colors, myself.
I like the IP1 wheels on the blue and grey a whole bunch more than I like the TU-1s on the red car. But, the red car is the one I got to borrow (and which I broke).
How long till the pearly white dinner car is posted here?

Personally... I see it as an Exotic Sports Car. Maybe just because I see it as Ford trying to "re-do" the Original GT-40.

I think Muscle cars are focused on Power & Acceleration and the GT i think is about Power & Speed. That's just me though.

I call it an exotic more than muscle since a muscle car "used to be" a stripped down high horsepower version of a car ...

I agree with Jeffs wheel assesmment.
I like these ones pretty good too.
Here's a Modern Muscle WL - latest relese.

I'd say the 1:1 GT actually does the origional GT-40 justice.
I wouldn't say that about many "retro" cars if any.

Love those wheels on the T-bird in the background, at Lummox Motors

White, very clean, not much good around here with all the red mud laugh.gif
