I cruised Lansdale and Pottstown in my Charger and ‘Cuda. It was the ultimate payoff to get them running and street legal to make the scene. My Charger was a true basket case. I brought a bunch of it home in milk crates! :D
I’ve seen so many “real” cars that are nothing more than a VIN on 75% 2 year old Asian sheet metal. But yeah… the VIN says it’s “real”. An original USA Chrysler built car that is cloned is more real to me.
They seem to. But the whole thing started with Corvettes back in the late 70’s. The VIN didn’t say if your Corvette was an original “Fuelie” or L78 396. Same with Chevelle SS, GTO, 442, GS.
