Greetings!
First into Mopar in the early eighties when you could buy factory original 440 six pack 4 speed 1969.5 Super Bee for 1,500 bucks.
I had more style than sense, and was not wise enough to hold on to any of them.
A few pix of the old stable:
Better to love and lost than never of loved at all....
I keep telling myself that, it kind of helps ;)
Been bitten by the bug again, but no way to afford something like what I was in before. Wired how there seem to be no base model 318 Coronet 440's, they have all magically transformed into "real" Super Bees ;)
Thought was to get into a solid 4 door, do a little work getting it right and flipping up.
Bought this 4 months ago:
I paid way too much for it and did not do my due diligence in going over it. Lots of hidden issues, guess I just had rose tinted glasses on. Also has trouble finding anything in my price range locally, so when this did, I needed to sink the dough into something before it got eaten up by life.
Managed to get out of it and make a couple hundred, enough for a clean 1968 Coronet 4 door back east I had my eye on.
By the time all the ducks were in a row, that car was gone.
Really had my heart set on a 1968 Coronet, since I could not find a '70 and like the tail of a '68.
In searching for one, somehow first gen Chargers came into the picture.
Had 2 second gens (1968 and 1969) so had always kind of dug them as well.
Long story http://www.forbbodiesonly.com/moparforum/showthread.php?62904-1966-Bright-Red-361-Survivor short,
I'm now the proud owner of a real muscle car again:
much sooner than anticipated:headbang:
