American muscle cars are top of mind now with the release of new models of the Camaro and Charger. As modern and slick as they are, they have a price tag (and demand) to match.

What if you want to flex some muscle, but don’t have the bank roll to match?

You can hit the road with the originals for sale by locals here in Bakersfield.

Check out this 1974 Chevy Camaro for the asking price of $12,900 or best offer.

The blue Camaro has a 700R tranny and 350 engine worth $8,800. The seller says it can run a 12 second ¼ mile.

Another hot muscle car for sale in the classifieds is this 1971 Buick Skylark coupe. It’s an elegant brown and black color combo with an automatic V8. You could pick it up for $4,850.

Also, if you are up for a restoration project, there are lots of muscles and classics for sale waiting for your TLC.

What muscle cars get your engines roaring? Would you consider getting one?
