Owned quite a few Mopars (Dodge & Plymouth 70's muscle cars) over the years...
Favorite was a 1969.5 Dodge SuperBee. Hemi Orange w/black fiberglass lift off scooped hood. 440 SixpPak (3 two barrel carbourators) motor. Hurst manual 4 speed. Basicly, a factory drag car. That beast was sick! Bought it from the original owner who used to build and drag race Mopar max wedge cars. I remeber seeing that baby every morning on my way to school, just sitting in the driveway. Finally scraped enough dough to make him an offer one day ($1,500) and drove it away!
Other memorable Mopars owned:
1968 Dodge Charger, 440 motor
1970 Dodge Coronet 318 small block V8 motor (not really a "true" muscle car, but a great body design!)
1970 Dodge Charger 440 motor
1970 Plymouth Satalite (another 318 car)
1970 Dodge Challenger T/A 360 V8 SixPak w/black fiberglass lift off scooped hood. This limited production car was built for the Trans American racing circuit.
As has been said, those cars were easy to work on, no computers, no smog. Good neck snappin fun!
I really dig that Dodge is harkening back to those days with some current production vehicles.
Do I need two cars?
Maybe I can figure out a way to stuff a 426 into the VX. Then it really would be a fire breathing Dragon!
Best,
James
