Who is the oldest and who is the youngest here?

[19Charger68]

Old Guy:  Congratulations and Happy Birthday.  For some reason, turning 30 was harder on me than turning 60.  The difference is that when I look in the mirror now I have to keep asking myself who the he!! the old guy looking back at me is!  From this point on, every day of walking, talking, and breathing is a blessing!

[OldGuy]

19charger68 - I agree with the mirror thing and the blessing to be able to get up and walk.  Got to enjoy our Chargers while we can still drive. 

By the way - the love of my life is baking a cake for me now as I post - couldn't have made it this far without her.

Class of 75... it's 50 this year.

Old Guy:  You are indeed a fortunate man.  Your wife is beautiful!  I too lucked out and married a lady that brightens each day.  In addition to being beautiful, everytime I talk about possibly selling one of our cars she says no way!

[OldGuy]

19charger68 - It's great to have a life long companion that you can both share a passion for the same things.  We dated in my 68 Charger R/T.  When we finally got to the stage in life where we had a little money and time, we bought the 69 Charger.  She then surprised me with a 1968 Charger, 383, 4bbl, 4-speed for Christmas a few years back.  Whenever I talk about selling one of the Chargers, she definately expresses her opinion in no uncertain terms that it isn't going to happen

By the way, the terrain in the background of your "beautiful trophy holder" looks familiar - where was it taken?

[19Charger68]

Old Guy:  Againi I say that you are a very furtunate man!!!!  The photo was taken from our front yard in Belen, NM.  The mountains in the background are the Sandia's.  Keep hoping they never put any houses out there so we don't lose the view!

i think i am the oldest here 75 in june but when i drive the charger i turn 18 LOL bought a new 68 charger when i was 32 and was hit head on in 1969 i dont feel old because i still chase women only i dont seem to be able to catch them. don

just hang back and catch them when they lap you.

I agree, I feel like I'm 20 again when I'm driving the Charger.  Trouble is; sometimes I drive like it too!   Bob

47 here, never planned on making it past 27!  , drove a 65 coronet in High School, didn't even think of it as a mucle car.  Time flys boys so live it well!!
Here is a pic the day I left home at 17 to join the navy.

By the Way Bruce if you see this, I was born and raised in Los Lunas and remember when Belen was bigger!!   Got any extra Green Chili??LOL

28 years old here. I think I kind of fall on the low end of the majority of this hobby, but then again one of these days I'll be smack in the middle of the oldest too.

I don't know how old 3Daytona is, but I think he is around the same age as Charger490. I doubt Jim will chime in here, I know he would say he feels 25 or so.

[19Charger68]

Diego - Green Chili is about all we have in Belen anymore!  Just a bedroom community for Albuquerque!

Well to you guys who are chronologically older than me, I salute you!!


I think it's just as important to keep the guys who were there to drive these cars off the lot new interested as it is the new generations coming up. I'm always running into guys who drove the cars new but no longer have any interest and don't even seem to want to discuss it which I think is sad. So many stories to hear but no tellers. So many pictures of cars when they were brand new floating around in albums tucked away...maybe even my car!

Like I think most of us here, I was driving these cars after you guys were done with them and while we have tons of tales to tell there are still many untold from the guys who had them before us. By the time I was buying these cars they were usually back row specials on the lots since many people were moving away from huge engined muscle cars in the mid to late 70's. But not us!!! 

Hats off!

Charger 490 has me beat.  I am 60 1/2.  Took my first ride in a new 68 Charger when I was 22 years old and have loved them ever since.  Charger 490 has it right.  I don't feel a year over 22 when we are driving the 68 around.  Chargers are the fountain of youth!!!

19Charger68, most of us dropped the 1/2 year from our age at about 8 years old.
