I have had a few Muscle/Classic cars that I used as daily drivers in the past and I was wondering how many cd posters do this currently, or in the past?
My last daily driver (3 years ago) was a Muscle car: 73 Challenger with a 360 and an Auto in it. Nothing fast, but it sure got a lot of thumbs ups. I put a couple hundred miles a month on it. No real long distance trips but a lot of back and forth to work trips along with week end cars shows.
Im a born again car-hater, but in the 70's I worked for a car magazine and did freelance artwork for car mags.
If you like Challengers, maybe you would like this study, or ruff draft-- of a Challenger that was going to be a T-shirt. I did it with a bic ballpoint on a little pad but updated it 30 years later when I downloaded GIMP onto my computer
Is a Corvette a muscle car?
If so, then it's my daily driver.
12000 miles in 18 months.
But I don't go very many places (just work and the store) and I use my truck in bad weather or when I have the kid.
I consider it in the Muscle Car/Classic type of Genre. I would have included mine but it sits in the garage.

Looks great. I should be a car hater considering how much money I've wasted on them.
My husband has two muscle cars, but only drives one daily. He has a 35th Anniv. Camaro, and a Grand National - the GN is the one he drives all the time. The Camaro is regulated to the garage (only to be used on nice weather days and for nice events) and I'm never allowed to drive it. I have a pokey little car, but would love to get a Mustang sometime.
I have an 87 Regal T type (Grand National's little brother) that gets driven at least once a month. I just recently changed jobs from working in a shop next to grease, oil, fuel, hydro fluid, etc. to an office job, so I may start driving the T on a daily basis.
If my 82 Scirocco counts (it gets a collectible car tag this year as it turns 30) - this is my primary work commuter, so it gets about 80 to 100 miles a day, during the work week. I have driven it about 200K since I bought it, and the engine/clutch/transaxle have about 230K on them since the previous owner did a major teardown/rebuild.
It gets 38 to almost 40 MPG if driven somewhat conservatively.
Hard to beat the economy for a car that's not a true "penalty box" econo-box.
