9 muscle cars we'd miss

The car market is national, but that didn't stop certain cars from becoming regional favorites. The South in particular was strongly partisan when it came to fast cars. In the '70s, the Pontiac Trans Am led the way, thanks to Burt Reynolds, who outran and outwitted the law in a black Trans Am with hood scoops in Smokey and the Bandit.

In the '80s, the muscle car of choice was the Dodge Charger, thanks to the Dukes of Hazzard, which gave it a starring role as the "General Lee," updating a 1969 model with an orange paint job, a Confederate flag, and a horn that played "Dixie." In 2006, Dodge reintroduced a rear-wheel-drive Charger brand, sharing the 300 platform. The Super Bee version has hood scoops and a 425 hp hemi engine.
