Imagine two icons coming together and creating a relationship that would make anybody weak at the knees in excitement. This is what happened 13 years ago when, aged 63, Sylvester Stallone was spotted behind the wheel of a red and black customized Ford Mustang GT in Los Angeles. Stallone seemed to be living the life of a rich teenager, a rich teenager in good shape at that. It showed that Stallone was still a big kid at heart and still enjoyed the little thrills in life. Guess that’s why he chose a tire-shredding Ford to look cool!

Stallone is known by most as an action movie guru, having gained stardom with his leading role in the Rocky franchise which he both wrote and directed as well. Not only did Stallone find success in the Rocky franchise, but he also found huge levels of success in the Rambo franchise. Both franchises spanned over decades, yielding masses of success until the Rocky franchise came to an end in 2006 with the sixth installment of Rocky Balboa.

“It’s a tough one, but Rocky is my first baby, so Rocky” was a line said by Stallone after being asked which iconic character he would rather be remembered by. So, it’s clear that Stallone had a huge passion for creating incredible action movies, but he also has a keen interest in American muscle. And he started to flaunt this love in the form of a custom-made muscle car. Let’s check it out.
