Was wondering who amongst us owned a mopar muscle when they were brand new and what happened to that car?
Personally, my second new car was a 71 chally, (my first was a 69 firebird, ok ok no booing)
It was a 318, medium blue with a white vinyl top, white inside and the powered sunroof.
I kept it 6 years, then traded it in for a new 77 cordoba, blue starlight metallic, white top, white inside and a sunroof.
To me the strange/funny thing is that the 71 chally came with a powered sunroof, but the 77 chrysler- a more luxurious brand, came with a manual crank sunroof. Go figure.
Another thing is that I kept the firebird 2 years, the chally 6 years, but every person that remembers me always say they remember my orange firebird, never a mention of the chally.
BTW, my chally has been at the restores shop the last 2 months, and it's going from petty blue, blue int, blk vinyl top to plumb crazy, white int and white vinyl top.
I go see it every Monday, take some pics, and leave some money, lol.
The bad thing is the deeper they get into the resto, the more they find.
