Last show I went to was a couple years back. This GT500KR took up all of my attention. Two-owner car, with the first owner being my cousin, who sold it to the current owner at least 40 years ago. Paint, interior, everything still original, as I understand it. Fuuuuuuuuuck.   https://live.staticflickr.com/4237/35348037242_07a4a895c4_c.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/4238/34705559593_24ec34560f_c.jpg |

I did when I was younger and grew up in 80/90's.
Newer cars have so much more to offer now it's hard to appreciate the old stuff without rose colored/investment glasses. |

Always loved most of the classics, never owned one. Chevelles were at the top of my list until I learned of Detomaso Panteras. By the time I could afford to buy a decent one at current prices, they'll probably be going for a few million. https://cdn.bringatrailer.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/1985_detomaso_gt5_pantera_1534188280ef66e7dff9f98764daIMG_20180809_201431-1-e1535545166255-940x705.jpg

Last year I finally sold a 1971 Dodge Dart Swinger my grandmother gifted me in 1991. Completely original, always garage stored. 28k miles on the clock. About 95% condition. It went to a good home where the buyer was going to keep it original and not "hot rod" it, rather only display in car shows.
Grandma would be happy.

Wife (then girlfriend) bought it right when she graduated nursing school. She is a nursing Professor now. She wants a G wagon now. I have a BMW M6 V10 6 speed manual for my needs. Wanted a M car since I could drive. For some reason I want something else... just don’t know what. Nice collection brother

Way over rated. Family cars are faster, corner better and are safe than these ever were... You be you. Sad, pitiful you. I will spend tomorrow just like I spent today. Driving a car from between 1968 to 1974 from my 52x60’ foot garage while wearing a watch selected from dozens from the same era. In the same manner an IPhone can hold tons of music and be convenient, and reasonable, and logical- It’s not the same as blaring a record from four vintage giant speakers. Sometimes the less convenient,less safe, less logical can be very satisfying and enjoyable. |

I love the B-body Chargers. I'm a GM guy but quick question, with the glass recessed and not flat like a Daytona, isn't is a regular Charger meaning not a 500? I think I remember that's how it was for a 69 500 cause the recessed rear glass was worse in the wind tunnel. But maybe that's not the case for 70? One day I'll own a 69 one day. Quote HistoryQuoted:

Quote HistoryQuoted: Originally muscle car referred to any performance midsize and pony car model big or small block made from 64-72 excluding Corvette (Corvette is not a muscle car and never has been). These days though it refers to those original performance models (SS, R/T, GT) and now includes the non performance model shared on the same model like say a Tempest to a GTO or a base model Camaro or Chevelle. |
