When technology meant wrenches and muscles "...you're out to grind the sound barrier into bite-sized equations with your howlin' Barracuda..." So said a Pontiac ad from the 1960s when the era of big block engines in big sedans had just captured the imagination of every male under 100. That was when a fella with a wrench could add-on and soup-up the highest technology on the planet. And when he did, he didn't just drive that beast he "commanded it" - or so said Camaro advertising for the Super Sport 350. You could buy a muscle car for about $3,000. If you were one of the ones who did, and you held on to it for 35 years , you made a good investment. These days, according to Classic Car Collector magazine, a Nova, Tempest, 'Cuda, Camaro, or any of the big block cars from the 60s and 70s fetch a cool price among the many avid collectors and restorers. Such a beast can cost from $4,000 at the low end to $16,000. This isn't a hobby for the politically correct. These cars gulp gas and make noise. But then, that's just the point.
