I wish I could go for a spin in the Challenger I used to have, 23 years ago


It looked a lot like this. Slotted mags, 10 inch rims in back, N50s, air shocks to lift the body up over those tires, permanently. A 340 and a 727, and that engine had the X heads, and had been built mighty stout... it felt like at least 350 hp to the tires.

pictures of my 70 Challenger are at http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2006/11/this-was-primer-gray-phase-of-poor-but.html in primer, poor thing. No one had the cash for a cheap paint job before or after I owned it. Neither did I. Some cars are doomed to a series of poor owners that never have the fortune it takes (easily 20 thou) to make them as good as they looked when new

  1. Oh to have a chance to see and drive my 1971 340 Cuda again. My first car. Died at the hands of an irresponsible 19 year old (me).
