when the dukes of hazzard movie came out last year, or whenever it was, 68-70 model chargers with good bodies and no drivetrains were goin for around 30K. apparently everybody wanted to have a general lee.

 

I have a friend at work that has a 70 Cuda Gran Coupe 426 INDY CYLINDER HEAD HEMI 750 HP,A 70 Charger 440,and a 73 charger not started yet.He prob only 28 yrs old s the thing that kills me.

 

I still own mine. It's the baddest Mopar ever made. It's not some fancy fhoo-fhoo E body. 1969 Superbee 440/727 A/C P/S

By the way, TB3412 has moved on in our lives. We traded it and the Hemi truck for a Diesel. Sure was fun!!!

I guess I can say...

My greatest regret was hating my 71 Roadrunner. It was the best of times for me in 77 to own and drive that monster. What fun when it ran well.. What a pain when that 440/6 wanted to be finicky or load up. I'd love to have it back right now.. I'd also have a great relationship with my local performance mechanic.

 

I had an 85' Shelby Charger turbo... That car was a blast, I bought it from a guy that inherited it from a passed away family member. He drove a VR6 Volks and said that the Shelby was too much car for him. He thought it had a V-8. I purchased it for $1,800 cash and it was almost perfect condition with Einkie vented wheels. I ripped into the car and found some after market upgrades, the cam and computer had been changed and it screamed!! I only lost one drag races and it was from a 1999 Lexus GS400.

That car handled like it was on rails and would smoke the tires in four gears. I burned up three sets of times in two years. I also blew up three transmissions racing it. It was blue with the silver racing stripe.

I have a 2006 Charger R/T and love it, but to be honest the Shelby Charger was way more fun to drive and handled better. When I raced it the gas mileage was not any better than my new Charger!! about 10-13 miles per gallon, cruising got me closer to 30 mpg.

Love that car!!

 

i had a 69 impala. itwas my fathers and when he gave it to me it had about 5000 in the top end of the motor. he never told me what he had in it and i wish i new. the night that he gave it to me was the night that he pulled the front tires off the ground and then let his friend drive it and he poped the clutch and drove it up a b ridge wall and blew the motor. i never even got to drive the thing.
