Well, not entirely but the time has come where I am no longer physically able to do all my own work on these cars. I can afford to hire work done but finding qualified people who are anywhere near as particular as I am about the details is next to impossible. Especially when you don't live in a big city. As I'm sure most of you know keeping these classic 50+ year old cars in tip top reliable driving condition requires serious on-going hands on maintenance. And since they're not making any more of them, trying to keep them from getting damaged while being driven out in traffic can be most nerve racking.
So, in order to still be out there and still be able to participate in all the local car events, including poker runs, cruises to various meet-up locations, etc., I'm adding a new modern Mopar to my stable.
I ordered a 2023 Challenger-Hellcat-Redeye-Widebody-Jailbreak. Yes, that's the 807 HP hypo version. I'm still keeping my 68 Road Runner but this will provide me with something else 'fun' to drive whenever the 'bird' is down for maintenance, upgrades or I'm just not comfortable taking it on longer trips where there might (usually is) road construction and other frequent hazards.
The new member of my Mopar family will be B5 bright blue with a matte black hood, hood pins, tan Laguna leather interior and black carbon dash. It should look pretty much like this:
I could say it's my Christmas present but it will probable be 6 months or more before I get it. I was lucky to get my order in early for these limited production beasts.
