My responses, each in turn:
Rev It Up. Thank you for the kind words. The Hemi Charger R/T was my first hemi car. It is a low mileage 4-speed car that I used to make burned rubber marks all over Las Vegas until I realized I should probably restrict my driving somewhat. I love the body style so much that I got myself a Charger RT/SE for carefree driving, too. (see picture below)
Ghost. The red 66 Coronet is my crown jewel. It is a 4-door hemi car that to most is far from sexy or attractive. I did not buy the car for sexiness, either. I bought it because I already had hemicudas, hemi convertibles, hemi everythings just about, nearly all in perfect condition...but other people have these same types of cars. How many times does one come across the world's rarest 426-hemi car? When I first saw it in a collection in Massachusetts I was not attracted to it. It was only later that my brain told my arm to direct my hand to slap my face that I woke up and realized I had an opportunity to own this car. Not too many years after buying the red car I found and bought the 4-door hemi Coronet that had been exported to Canada. (see picture below) Now I own two of the only four 4-door 426-hemi cars ever factory produced. I tried to buy the white 4-door hemi car Don Garlits owns but he told me he would never sell, not for $5 million, not for any amount of money. He says that for as long as he is alive the car will stay with him. I also found the only other 4-door hemi car. That car is in Finland. The current owner will not sell, either. His car is a 1967 Plymouth Belvedere model. I haven't given up on him yet, though. My Canadian car is Bronze Metallic and going in for total restoration soon. Having owned so many of these great cars, I would never part with both 4-door hemi cars, but have put the red car on the market and received only unacceptable offers so far. The car is almost off the market now, because I have decided I would rather keep the red car instead of the bronze car. Almost 10 years ago when I bought the red car I was offerred $750K and $1 million for it. I turned both offers down. At the time I only had one. I'm pleased I did turn the offers down because now I have the option of keeping the red car and sharing this pride and joy of owning a 4-door hemi car with another human being.
Andrew. The Superbird has always been my favorite car because of its appearance. The nose and wing add something extraordinary. The 1968 Roadrunner was the fastest of all my cars. I used to let my friends drive that car around Las Vegas for extended periods of time. One of them used to race others on the streets. He never lost a race. The Challenger RT/SE 440 Six-Pack is the favorite of many, including my little baby sister who is 32 years old.
N2440R/T. Every inch of the Superbird looks like the engine compartment. In 1993, Galen came to Las Vegas and inspected several of my cars. He determined the Limelight Green Superbird to be the best restored Superbird in the world. Yes, the car cleaned up at the shows. Only once did it not get first place, it placed second, and that was at the Las Vegas Spring Fling 1993 where my 1970 hemicuda took first place. (See picture below) This picture was previously posted, yet I am including it again here so you can see where both the Superbird and hemicuda were competing against each other. That's my HemiCharger R/T, too.
