Muscle, Street, Classic or other.

Muscle cars, as the yanks seem to define them, are smaller bodied cars with the engine out of a larger bodied car. The Pontiac GTO appears to be the first car associated with the tag. This is probably true for the modern era of cars, the reality is GM have been doing it since 1936 when the put the large straight 8 of that era into the smaller bodied version of the Buick. It is the formulae of most hot rods also.

On this basis what Australian car would qualify for such a tag - I can think of the Torana (full sized car motor in a smaller body) and the Ford guys might even suggest the 250 engined Cortina (heaven forbid - although they were pretty quick).

This should get some response I expect . . .
