No, that's not what he said. The death of the original muscle cars was due to:
1.) Rising gas prices
2.) Federal emissions standards
3.) Safety standards (seen the bumper on a '69 Camaro, or worse, a C3 Corvette lately?)
4.) Rising insurance costs (insurance companies catching on to the fact that the "1970 Chevelle V8" is not a 307/glide but an LS6/TH400)
and probably more that I'm missing. People still wanted the cars. ****, people still do NOW.
