It sure did blow up "good". Looked like it was already in two pieces.

 :iagree: Looks like a '70 Challenger.

I wonder if this car is the one at 44 sec when the Ferrari passes a car?  :clueless:
1972 Dodge Challenger Rallye 340, AT, Code TB3=Super Blue, SBD=8/17/1971.  Yes, a Rallye without the fender louvers from the factory because of the body side molding option.

If it was a 'cuda it wouldn't have exploded. The awesomeness would have shielded it.  :smokin:

It's been a long time, but I do remember an episode of Magnum PI where a couple of gunmen in a pretty ratty Challenger were chasing Magnum and the chase ended when the Challenger blew a tire or something and crashed.
Even though it was a beat up car, it was keeping up with the Ferrari pretty well during the chase!  :biggrin:

70 Challenger must of had a lot of rust under it.
Got a pretty good start on my M46 optioned Barracuda restoration but now it is on hold till I can gather more funds.  Still need a few parts for it.  SIU Graduate 75 AAS Automotive Tech, 94 BS Advanced Tech Studies, 1997 MSED Workforce Education and Development
