About us

We have been muscle car enthusiasts for many years. Like you, we have attended and participated in several clubs and many events. Unfortunately, they were usually geared for one manufacturer or model, and didn’t offer a glimpse of the total muscle car spectrum.

The American Muscle Car Association is a place where ALL muscle car enthusiasts are able to gather and be a part of the "One Voice" of the hobby. One voice comprised of thousands of individuals to help fight clunker laws, and needless legislation that threatens our hobby. One place where ALL clubs and individuals can enjoy access to publications, events, links, classified advertisements, or restoration and performance tips for their favorite American Muscle Car of the ‘50s, ‘60s, and ‘70s.

We realize that by most opinions, the muscle car era did not start until 1964 with the introduction of the Pontiac GTO. Many other powerful, factory produced cars followed until the mandates of emission controls put a damper on horsepower. We also think it would be a terrible oversight to exclude the great cars of the ‘50s and early ‘60s. Many of these cars were the forefathers of the Muscle Car era, with stock car racing entering its heyday. Automotive engineers were just scratching the surface of performance improvements that would lead to the neck-snapping horsepower we’ve come to know and love.

So, whether your into full size muscle, intermediate/mid size muscle, pony class muscle cars, or just a fan of all the great cars from that era, come and join us at the American Muscle Car Association, and be a part of the movement to protect, preserve, and display the great and powerful cars we have come to know as …..

THE GREAT AMERICAN MUSCLE CAR!!!!!

MOTION:

A well-tuned engine, Pistons, Valves,

Cam, and Crank. The needle on the tach,

and the guy at the wheel.

Motion is a grinder polishing ports,

And a torque wrench on a head bolt.

Motion is a creeper, and a guy on top

with a hundred pounds of gearbox on his chest.

It’s the dirt that falls in his eyes when he lifts the thing into position.

Motion is mosquitoes around a shop light,

and oil draining from a sump.

Its carbon tetrachloride spilling off a freshly-washed carburetor,

and scrubbing greasy fingernails.

Motion is a fast arm on a still faster 4-speed.

The synchronizers, and the gears themselves.

Motion is turning slicks, and a good ET.

Motion is sitting in the sun,

At a place like Darlington, S.C.,

Where the track gets so hot it’ll fry an egg solid in 30 seconds.

Motion is a stocker on an oval bank, and a good pit crew.

Motion is the people, who take on the 4000-mile Trans-Canada Rally,

And the people who will go into hock to get enough money for a joyride in the country.

Motion is a blur of fences and farmhouses,

The wind, and a 4-wheel drift.

Motion is cars: Double-A fuelers; Grand National Stockers; Racing Sedans;

Supercars; Street Rods; Muscle Cars.

This is what motion is all about,

And this is what this association is about;

Muscle Car Motion.

Respectfully dedicated

to the guy who’d sell his

nice old granny

for a good, fast car!
