In 1965, the U.S. government decided to crash the muscle car party with The Motor Vehicle Pollution and Control Act, aiming to clean up the air and, unintentionally, break the hearts of car enthusiasts everywhere. As the law revved up, horsepower had to pump the brakes. Suddenly, muscle cars, like the iconic Mustang GT500, were forced to swap their roaring engines for quieter, more environmentally friendly alternatives—much to the dismay of rev-heads who preferred tire smoke over clean air.
