Have been thinking about this. There is no way that the Brabham Torana can be left out of this list. No matter how many people think that it is not a "muscle car". After all, it did have a 3 inch tail shaft, just like the GTHOs.

The Brabham Torana was most certainly a road going version of the HB fitted with twin carbs & stripes. 1600GT Cortinas were selling well so Holden had to do something by way of a 4 cylinder "muscle car"
