Muscle Or Not?

Discovering a muscle car heretofore unrecognized in the hobby is exciting. When Don Stewart showed up at the Mopar Nats in Columbus, Ohio, with this Rambler Classic 770 H two-door hardtop, I was curious about the Tri Poised Power decal on the air cleaner. Was this AMC’s version of GM’s Tri-power? A silver and orange decal, obviously factory, on the valve covers read 327 V8. This wasn’t a big-block, but the model year was ’65, fairly early in the muscle car era. Muscle cars are not muscle based solely on horsepower. One has to look at them in a historical perspective.
