[4onthefloor]

I have a friend of mine who is New to Car's. He just got a 1980 Z28 that is a stickshift, He asked me if His car is considered a muscle car ? Now i have a 1979 transam that's also a stickshift, And i told him that these are the cars that are Gonna shoot up in VALUE!! Especially the Stickshift ones, But im not to sure if these second gen f-body's are considered "MUSCLECARS"?? It just seems like the 1st gen's get a lot of attention and the price's for these car's just Exploded!!! I would like to know are these late model 2nd gen F-body's MUSCLECAR's????
