I mean, you go back through the years and the Mustang, Camaro, and Challenger are pony cars, rather more purpose-built sports/GT vehicles. The muscle cars were generally two door family cars where they plopped in a a big engine, like the Chevelle, Charger, and Galaxie.

You are kind of right. Back in the 60's and 70's, Camaro, Firebirds, Barracudas and Mustangs were classified Pony cars. But Mustang (the father of all Pony cars) was also a muscle car (Thanks to Roush, Saleen and Shelby).
Now days the V6 Mustang and Camaro are the only ones that would have remained in the Pony Car class. Maybe the GT.
