My Mom had a ‘68 383 4spd Charger in the early 1970’s. I remember elementary school car pool with 7 neighborhood kids in the car on her day to drive. I got the passenger side fwd foot well. That was my spot.

In ‘74 mom made dad trade it in on a used, baby blue ‘72 Coronet Custom station wagon... Dad had muscle car withdawals and bought a ‘69 390 4 spd AMX later that year, which he knew couldn’t be used for carpool (it could only fit 5 kids).

When cars were cars!

2006 300C SRT8. 370 cubic inches (6.1 L), 5 speed automatic, 14.2" front discs, 13.7" rear discs, fully independent suspension, 13.2 second quarters, 167 mph top speed, stops as short as a Porsche 911 of that year.

I forgot: 14 mpg around town, 20 mpg highway, best I ever did was 23 on a very flat stretch.

My dad rued selling his ‘66 Galaxy 7 Litre, but at the time it was just an old car, we knew it was a little unusual even then, but just how unusual in the greater scheme of things, no.

I have a new Ford 5.0 in my Mustang. DOHC AND Variable valve timing, so it makes a ton of Torque at 1500 RPM and 420HP when you wind it out.

I’m getting 22 - 24 mph on my daily commute (17 miles one way through the heart of Dallas), 27-28 on the highway.

Big 3 Motor technology has come a long way even from 2006. I was going to get an SRT Challenger in 2009, but the MPG turned me off so I held off until they added cylinder deactivation, then I was going to get an SS Camaro, but hated the godawful steering wheel, then the 5.0’s came out. My Mustang has really surprised me with how good gas mileage it can get. It gets 5 more mpg than my 1980’s mustangs in town, and has over 200 more HP.

GT500KR’s were 1968 only.

1967 Non “KR” GT500 with a 427 Medium Riser would be faster and rarer than a KR, anyway.

‘Ol Shel was all about the marketing.

Nice! My wife had a ‘71 or ‘72 ‘Cuda. Put a bridge railing right through the center clear into the passenger compartment.

Then she got a Challenger and dumped that one down a ravine.

Then she got a Charger ...

I finally bought her a Buick. :)

LOL. Yikes.

Don't you just hate typos! :)

I’m sorry.

I rented one of those once while on a job interview trip to Houston. It died on me leaving the airport. I managed to restart and nurse it back and swap it out for something that ran.
