The inevitable...

[69Charger_440]

Well, I know this may not be a topic a lot of us want to talk about, but it is a reality we all have to face.  Maybe I don't have enough to do thus my overactive mind, but here goes.  What do you all plan to do with your Chargers or classic cars when you are...ahem...too old to drive?  I know many of you have more than one classic car so it would be interesting to know what you plan to do.  I am not trying to intrude into anyone's personal business, but what I am looking for is your thoughts.  I, for instance, plan to pass my two '69 R/T SE's to my two little boys.  Thoughts?

I will be driving it even when im 80.

My grandfather drived until the day he died. Shaved, cleaned up, drove off to hospital, died there that day. He was 72 or 74 I think.

when im disabled from being able to drive etc (if that ever be the case) and dont have Kids (dont plan on them - im 25) id sell it and put the money towards the Lords work. The blessing was there, now its time to give it back. If I did have kids, sure it would go to them if they were interested in it, if not, again, Lords work.

Uhm, thats about it really.

[mikesbbody]

my plan is to be buried in mine 

[71ChallengeHer]

My daughter gets the Chally. So she'll have to drive me around in it when I can't anymore.   

[skip68]

Well, my son gets the charger and my daughter gets the camaro.  Then they will probably sell them and blow the money.   

[Old Moparz]

I plan to drive them for as long as I can..............and then some.

I plan to be the annoying old bastard in the left lane doing 35 MPH.

With the turn signal that's been on for the last 7 exits.

And smiling at anyone who passes me with their middle finger up.

Lol same.
I'm 17 so this may change but if anything happens to me now the car stays in the family.
However, I plan on giving the one friend that has really helped on the car a key of his own.
As for when I have kids...they can go fix up their own (keeps mine safe and saves more from nature/crusher ).

[bmoparmofo]

I have wondered about that, I have no kids, 2- 67 newports and the 69 charger.Its kind of disturbing in a way,I have have to go out and spawn apparently.Otherwise the state gets them?

[elanmars]

go out like Kowalski. 

but probably keep it in the family, i don't know...

[suntech]

I am 44 now, so hopefully i can enjoy it for a long time. When the time comes, i guess it will be sold, since i am the only one in the family with this "bug"!!

[NYCMille]

I plan to be buried in it... Just need to find a big enough plot. 

[suntech]

Planning on moving to Kansas, or something like that on your old days???

[rich4406bbl]

I have a 71 Charger RT and my 6 and 12 year old sons are already locking horns over it! Jeez I'm only turnig 50 this year. I keep telling them that, god willing, they will have a LONG wait before they get their hands on it.

[ITSA426]

I plan to die in my sleep, like grandpa did, instead of crying and screaming like everyone else in the car.

[dpm68]

I plan to drive them until I get batty like Mr. Magoo and eveyone else better stay out of my Geritol-500 ass-driving way...

mike are you being buried in the one with the wing or without !

[1969chargerrtse]

Since non of my older kids have an interest and the little one is to little, probably sell it and put the money in the house.  I sold my bike to help finance the engine Restoration and don't have many regrets.  I'm getting more and more like " been there done that " feeling, so sell and move on.  At least that's today thought.  I do swing back and forth.     so basically I don't know?

[BrianShaughnessy]

Me and Black Betty are going out in a big blaze of glory with the last few gallons of gas that I can find when my time is up         

Don't anybody call the fire department or try to put it out.  Screw that getting buried garbage   

[Chad L. Magee]

I plan on setting up a museum well in advance of that situation, so that when I pass on, the cars will stay as a set for future generations to enjoy.  The overseeing of the workings of the museum will go to a combination of family and a few trusted friends, with stipluations of course.  Although, I would not mind taking the /6 Charger with me underground.......

how can you do all that work , get the thing so beautyful and then just sell it ?

   

[68RT4ME]

The plan is to leave them to my Son. Though he's not really into them, that may all change in time and they may mean more when the time comes. If he decides to part with them, maybe they will go to someone else in the family. That will be his decision.

[69_500]

Don't intend on passing on for the next oh 70 years or so, so I'm not worried about it right now. I don't think that there is any doubt on if my son would want the car though, that is to anyone who has met the little 4 year old. I used to think I was crazy about these cars, until i took him to look at a HEMI 500 and after 9 hours he still wasn't ready to leave yet. He wanted to look at it some more.

[Sabre]

Well someday when I get a Charger I'll drive until I can't anymore.  I'll then put the car in a tomb (above ground) and give explicit intructions not to open the tomb for 1,000 years.  That way my future Charger will the the last one to survive.

Seriously though when I do get my dream car I'll give it to my kids if I ever have any.

[Brock Samson]

maybe i could do my headstone like this...

Mike If you are gonna be buried in BOTH those things, that is gonna get MESSY!!!!!

To save you the trouble, you can send that plain one with the red stripes to me. I'll take care of it for ya!!! REALLY!!!!!

I'm with Mr. Shaughnessy on this one for sure!

I won't be buried in it cause I'd rather be just thrown in the dumpster with the rest of the trash.  What a racket that funeral stuff is.

As to who gets it, I don't really care, I'm dead, and I have no family(ok, my mom and pop and both sisters in Va but they could care less about cars.)  I will however own this one til I kick it though, they can fight about it all day but like I told my buddy, here's a key to the house, just get what you want before my parents get here.

  mike are you being buried in the one with the wing or without !

both! get buried in mr angry and have angrier there with you also  i did actually read somewhere about a old guy who was buired in his car but after a "certain" car that was buried for 50 years and turned into a rusty p.o.s i think the best option would be a above ground "tomb" totally sealed of course (even in death you wouldnt want your beloved charger to rust away would you?)

Ok, Lisa, you guys can have it!  I Mike McSweeney give one 1969 Charger to the Thomas family when I kick it.  I guess you guys need a key to my house right? It is Thomas,, isn't it???
Geez i'm an idiot if that ain't right.  Ok, Im an idiot anyway.

[skip68]

 
Yup,  it's Thomas!!!!!!!! Dam I better print this out quick before you change your mind! BTW: "How have you been "Feeling" these days?" Hehehehe! "I'm going to Maine, I'm going to Maine!!!!!!!"

Once I'm bored with my 69 - and that will be long before I'm done driving - I'll will sell it to whomever brings me the largest bucket o' cash and I'll laugh all the way to the bank.   After all, its just a chunk of metal.  And then on to the next adventure...

Peace,

Neal

[Rolling_Thunder]

I'm 22 - dont have to worry about it anytime soon...     however if something was to happen and my cars were finished the 68 Charger goes to my sweetheart Amanda and the 69 Road Runner goes to my buddy Kyle who is a Recon Marine

[grdprx]

Well, I got a daughter and son, with another girl on the way.  I made a deal with the wife, I get a Charger, she gets a 3rd kid.

So, I'm obligated to give the Charger to the baby when I get too old, I figure...

SO, that means I have to get 2 more Charger to give to my older daughter and my son!   

My son loves Orange, so that'll be my inspiration go build a GL!  We'll see what I can find for my daughter.

Should be fun!
