In the late '80s, my brother had the identical car, same year. His was orange with a staggered black stripe running down the side. He also had an early '70s Duster (slant 6) and a '70s Coronet 500 (383). The Challenger was mint and by far the nicest of the lot.

Beautiful. I absolutely love Mopar. Would prefer to see it with the Hurst pistol grip on the floor, but it's a beauty, no doubt.

[sandertristan]

wow!! that's a nice ride..very nice..reminds me of the ride those guys from Supernatural series use..

[sickpuppy1]

I had a 1970 340 duster for several years....loved that car. Great times.....The Original color was the infamous peelin' purple. It had been painted a dark metallic blue when I got it.

Looks great. I always wanted to buy a retro car, replace everything in it and make the coolest car!

[sickpuppy1]

would be alot of fun https://www.gatewayclassiccars.com/STL/7998/1965-Plymouth-Satellite

But this! I like!! https://www.gatewayclassiccars.com/HOU/1225/1968-Dodge-Dart-GTS

[justanotherdrunk]

So many great new/ classics out there that I'm having a helluva time deciding what to buy next

There are many cool new cars I can lease for <$400/ mo

What I really want is a classic muscle car but that requires a 30/$40K commitment


I plan to replace the BMW i3 with something else this summer


:bonk:

I'm scheduled to return my Buick lease this summer, so I've been driving a lot of cars... and yes, there are so many cars available for lease <$400/mo.

The biggest problem right now if you're car shopping and have a bit of money to spend is that there are too many choices. I'm looking for a bike right now and I'm having the same problem.

That Challenger in the first post is a poor choice, IMO.

It's a 73, and it's a 318/auto with vinyl top, one of the worst choices for holding or increasing in value. It's a very nice car but I think it's over priced and if you ever want to sell it you'll either have to be prepared to take a hit or wait a long time.

i was just so enamored with its amazing clean restoration

theres literally thousands of cars out there to choose from

the hunt continues

[sickpuppy1]

a little older but much more fun and about the same price as that challenger,lol

If you were looking for something like that you'd be better off with a C5 Z06. More capable, more reliable, and half the price

Already had 2 C5's a 1999 and a 2000 thanks

[suprf1y]

I didn't mean that literally.

The point was that a C5Z is probably a more practical option than a Viper

[sickpuppy1]

LOL, and I'm just cruzin that web site looking at stuff around the same price as the first car...

[justanotherdrunk]

I'm sooooo tempted!

Love the car... right down to the hubcaps! Looks to be in pristine condition.

[nortonfb]

NICE!

The suspension is the weak point. a little soft as I recall.
Plenty quick.

[sickpuppy1]

Beautiful! I wonder how hard it would be to get rid of the dent between the o and the u on the front Plymouth name badge? The 273 V8, while small is surprisingly peppy. I had a 67 Belevedere with that motor and it got over 23 mpg on the highway. That price seems to be great!

[sickpuppy1]

One thing to look for is water stains by the driver side front windshield pillar. A-body cars would get a small leak by the corner of the windshield and it would run done inside the body and pool in the floor pan. You wouldnt notice a thing until there is a hole rusted thru the floor pan! Just scope it out.
