Chevelle was probably the Chevrolet Model that best fit the "Muscle car" Description. Corvettes were always first considered a "Sports car" and the Camaro was a "Pony car" a compact version of a Muscle car.
There were many icons of the muscle car era. One Icon was, what is considered by many as the very first muscle car, the Pontiac GTO. The very first one came out in 1964. Then there is the Shelby Cobra which was a true sports car and not really a Muscle car. Of course the Ford Mustang, Chevy Camaro, Plymouth Barracuda, Oldsmobile 442, Buick Gran Sport, & American Motors Javelin. There were others but these are the main icons.
1964 pontiac gto, considered the car that started the muscle car era... even thou there were hi performance domestic cars being built back in the late 40's(buicks), early 50's (hemi's), etc.

High performance cars are categorized as muscle cars by some people. The Ford Mustang might be considered by many as a muscle car. Another car that may be considered by many as a muscle car is the Chevrolet Camaro.
Generally, cars are considered classics once the car is at least 25 years of age. Some examples of Ford classics are the 1960s Falcon, 1960s Fairlane, 1950s - 1960s Thunderbird, and early Mustang cars.
It is a personal luxury car. It was built on an intermediate chassis, but the length of the hood categorizes it so. When equipped with a 428 (SJ option) I would consider it a personal luxury/muscle car. To qualify as a typical muscle car, which it is not, it would first have to be considered an intermediate car.
GT is definitely a sports car/super car first, but can be considered a muscle car because of it power/weight, straight line performance.
