What I find funny is Most will put down the old skool Traction bars(Slapper bars), but will spend HUGE money on a set of Cal-Tracs which are the same basic thing....Hmmmm...


Yep, I had the basic same thing cept my ol '65 Satellite had L-60 Kelly Super chargers on it. :rofl:

Cars with the torsion bars and leafs jacked up to clear oversize tires. Chargers don't need 8" of ground clearance.

And today , not one of those listed items are on my car at this time.  :icon_smile_big:

Yep, Especially once they've spent $50K in swapping in one of the Newer 6.1 Hemi's into a 318 car. Nothing looks more stupid than advertising that you have a "Hemi" whatever, only to see some swap pulled off. If it's a legit "Hemi car", then it should have a distributor up front IMO.

if i had 50k to throw at a car, a 528 or thereabouts hemi would go in, over a late model 5.7/6.1  ::)

Yea, same here. I hate seeing a Fiat owned engine in our American Muscle cars.  :Twocents:

Brass

Someone may have mentioned it already but I was reminded of one more: convertible/topless Chargers.  The roofline is:   :drool5: Without:  :icon_smile_dissapprove:

I saw a mustang cobra snake emblem attached to the front guard of a 69 charger at a car show in Europe a few years back. Took a picture of it but deleted it after a while. Pity, I'm sure everyone here would love to see how good it looked.  :eek2:
Might even give some of you ideas.   :lol:


Tomorrow is promised to no one.......drive your Charger today.

While I agree with the majority of things mentioned, I can't stand the stuffed animals, dolls or even model cars displayed with the cars at the shows. It looks cheesy. Wy the need to look at the model if the damn car is right in front of me. I'll never understand.

There are no new hemi's.  They're poly's.

"Hey? That thing gotta 'poly' in it?"

Just ain't got the same ring to it Dino....
