    Love that challenger. I had a 72 when I was in High School. Love that car to death.

    You lucky devil.....you still have it.

    I was adding up the estimated value of these cars if I had still owned them.......both the financial and emotional values.

    I really wish I wouldn't have sold any of them decades ago for both reasons. Lotta MOPAR fans here obviously.........

    Count me in as a MOPAR fan (see profile, but it's not a muscle car). Looks like you had some nice iron, kds.

    It's a long story, so I wont bore you to death. Back quite a few years ago the car became 1/2 my brothers. Recently he wanted to sell. He thought I had a split personality. One day i would say yeah it's time to let her go. Next day (screaming) NO WAY, I WILL NEVER SELL. Bottom line, I didn't want to be one of those guy who say I would of, could of.........never should have. So I bought him out. It's mine to stay. Only 383 but I don't care. I went thru that should have with another car and didn't want to relive that s*it. It was a rare one for you Mopar guys. A 1964, Plymouth Belvedere with a (NOW GET THIS) all orig. 365hp/426 street wedge, 4 spd. Boy do I wish I still had that one. Bought from an old guy, never hot rodded, never touched.Factory period.

    A girl I use to date Dad own's a Shelby GT500. Original paint and everything.(dark green with white rally stripe. I actually had to IM her to get more info about it It's been so long and I forgot the details.

    Please God Why: what year is your dads GT500
    Please God Why: didnt his Brother own it before him?
    Jenna****: '68
    Jenna****: his cousin did

    He told me the story one time about getting it from him and "being forced" to drive it all the way from Cali to Indiana to bring it "home." That car had the biggest Carb I've ever seen on anything. God it was a beauty. I missed out on a chance for a ride in it one time because I didnt wanna see her because I hate her now.(I still cant believe I did that considering how much Im in love with bad a$$ cars.)

    Only one other owner before him and it stayed in the family!!!!

    Only big block I have ever driven is a Jensen Interceptor Series II (father owned it for many years). This thirsty bastard came as genuine with a 383 Chrysler.

    Some Interceptors had the 6 pack and some also were the 440, but I believe the 383 revs better.

    Great car that shrunk around you as you drove it ... and very balanced.
