Why wouldn't we??
In my opinion it seems as if the hobby has become so dollar driven that most web sites that I have seen devote most of the attention to the Hemi, and other Big Block cars, or the 340 cars produced in 70-71. For example, on one site I saw a 1971 340 Cuda which appeared from my vantage point to be a heap of rust. The car had no drivetrain and was missing the front clip. This car was being offered for $20,000.00. Before you guys give me the speach on supply and demand let me say that I agree with that principle but that is not my point. Even though I could afford to purchase a 1970-1971 car based upon the imput of members on this board I opted for the 1973 Challenger because I wanted to enjoy the car and not become a slave to it. I think of my youth and recall many of these cars we now refer to as investment grade vehicle. I know I would love the opportunity to bang the snot out of a Hemi or a 440 car and not just see it behind a rope, equipt with a "do not touch" sign. I am sure many of you would love this opportunity too. I think that in all of the hoopla about these magnificant Hemi and other Big Block cars of 1970 and 1971, it is worth remembering that the 1972-1974 Challengers and Barracudas were also magnificant and contributed greatly to the muscle car era. This site does that in my opinion and that is why I come here everyday. Maybe it is because you guys and gals are MOPAR lovers before MOPAR investors. Thanks for listening.
While I understand your rant, if you go back and look in the "Classics" board at previous cars of the month, we have not reglected the 72-74's. There were also some before that thread started. Take April's car, for instance. Mike
My point exactly. I never said that this board neglected these cars, on the contrary, I said that this board gives them equal time. Maybe I sholud have been clearer.SRR
What, G-man doesn't like the "sad face" '72-'74 Challys? What's wrong with sad faces? (00/=====\00) Just giving you grief. I consider it more of a mean teeth look myself...Okay, so it looks more like a sad mouth with the tongue hanging out.(Sorry for such a horrible chop...I do autoCAD all day long, so I come home not wanting to do too much.)SRobinon4, it's good to see you like how things are ran around here. As stated, all years are looked upon equally when it comes to nice rides.
Round Tail lights forever!!
