Last post by pete - September 11, 2025, 06:18:56 PMWow, Thanks John! That's a wealth of information.
I'm probably going to sell it when I get some time. Make me a fair offer if you're interested and it's yours. I have a bunch of stuff out there leftover from a lifetime of projects. Just trying to sort through it.

Last post by b5blue - September 11, 2025, 01:07:06 PM In fact none are "racing" anywhere anymore. My pal races on a 1/4 mile track. All this crap about souping up our cars is 99% wish you could race wannabe. I have enjoyed my 70 for 30 years!

Last post by Kern Dog - September 11, 2025, 12:29:15 PMI was 4 years old when both of my Chargers were built. I was an early car guy though. I used to be able to identify the make of the cars as they drove by the house. I'd stand on the sidewalk and call out the cars as they came down the road. This was before I was 10 years old. I'm sure that I was wrong a lot but I was really interested in cars from the start.
By the time I was ready to get my driver's license in 1982, these cars were often on their 2nd or 3rd owner. Not many were still in good condition. Even though cars don't rust in California like they do elsewhere, they were often banged up, missing parts, had poor quality repairs or were parts cars.
The cool new cars in the early 80s were Chevys, Pontiacs and Fords. Ma Mopar had nothing worth driving. Mom had a 79 Camaro Z 28 and what I liked about that car was that it did everything well. (For it's time) I wanted that for myself in every car that I would own from then forward.
That is why I aimed my sights on a Mopar that was fast, stopped well, handled well and was reliable. Look at what great cars the 2009-23 Challengers were. They were comfortable, fast and handled great.
I know that the bigger wheels and lower profile tires don't appeal to the purists. That is fine. I bought the car for myself, I built it to make me happy and if others like it, that is fine.
