Regardless, anyone who has the privilege of having a 74 Chevrolet Nova sitting in their garage has access to a key piece of muscle car history. According to Automobile Catalog it had a similar quarter mile time to the Chevy Nova. With that being said, the Austin Marina GT was labeled with a "GT" for a reason. Now let's be real - the Austin Marina looked somewhat like an older SAAB and could be considered more of a sports car. Some may debate whether the 1974 Austin Marina GT was actually competition for the Nova SS. It had some changes made in 1974 due to safety regulations.
The Camaro could arguably be considered the most popular muscle car of all time. The 1974 AMC Javelin 232 Automatic had similar power and was pretty cool looking as well. Let's not forget probably the most admired competitor, namely the Chevrolet Camaro Coupe 250 Turbo-Thrift. Car buyers at the time had several muscle cars to choose from.
