A little off topic but it’s great seeing all the old restored cars these days. I saw somebody driving a like 1967 Buick Riviera the other day.
When I bicycle commuted from a Seattle suburb, I was shocked at how many classic cars I saw parked in garages on my way to work.
I think there are a lot more of them than most people think.
Not really off topic. Muscle is muscle. You should try to make it to Reno for Hot August Night sometime. Thousands of restored and unrestored cars from ‘72 and earlier. Sensory overload for sure.
when I am in my 70 Dodge Challenger R/T and pull up next to a new Challenger, my car is about 2/3rd the size of the new Challengers And they don’t look over at me.
Mind you, even the 5.7 versions could probably take me,the Hell cats would leave me in the dust. BUT it’s survived me for 40 years, and the 1st 25 years were the hardest.I could spice the 440 up, or put a late model 6.4 SMPI in it if I had the $3500 for the plug and play engine management system. But that’s all right. I used to think my car was heavy, compared to my 68 RR but it looks pretty thin next to the steroid fed new ones. I especially liked the ad with George Washington driving a new Challenger a few years ago. But he was chasing the English and not the Italians. For any one that cares, Lee Iacocca wrote a great article in the issue currently on the shelf of Chrysler Power Magazine about how we better save America NOW. Also, Rob Wolf, owner and Editor of Mopar Collector’s Guide writes very powerful editorials about the elite using environmental laws to subjugate us. The title of this month’s editorial, “Detroit...the Canary in the Mine Shaft of a DNC run USA!” is followed by a warning to left leaning subscribers or readers that this month’s column will upset them. A good read.
