20 of the Best Old School Muscle Cars

7. Buick Wildcat

The Buick Wildcat is a fastback-styled car on a full-size platform. It was an early attempt at what came to be called the personal luxury car, in the spirit of the Ford Thunderbird. The interior was plush, with a center console and bucket seats in most models, and when the Wildcat was introduced in 1962, it was clocked 0-60 mph in 8.1 seconds by Motor Trend Magazine. Marketing sold the 360 hp as a reason to buy full-sized Wildcat during the 60s, but the trend towards mid-sized muscle cars pushed the Buick Wildcat to the side in the 1970s.
