For Sale: Not Mine Oh No, They Are Coming Out Of The Woodwork. 1970 “Black Ghost” Challenger Tribute

The general lee was a made up car as well.
It's been copied a few times.

That is kind of different though Don, that car has “real” history with it being a tv show car and the production crew wrecking hundreds of them… unlike the Challenger

Yes but you could also make the argument that the black ghost was more of a real car.
All the hype about Street racing is pretty much meaningless.

It was a factory hemi car with a bunch of options.
Not just a thing put together to jump stuff and get trashed.

Yes fake story. Its been discussed here a couple times. The original owners son is a videographer or something like that and hyped up the car with a bs story that it was a “legendary street racer”just to sell it. This was a couple of years ago but I’m kind of surprised you don’t remember it

i do remember it but I did not know it was fake. I must of fallen off the post.

The 1970 "Black Ghost" Challenger story is largely true in that a famous, unique car existed and was owned by a Detroit police officer, but its legendary undefeated street racing prowess is debated, with some experts calling the extensive history exaggerated for marketing, making it a mix of fact and myth, though it's a documented historic vehicle and was sold for over $1

True…. the part of the owner being a cop owning it.

False in my opinion.… “legendary street racer”
