    I hate to see that.  I am glad he got out.  I never like seeing a challenger or cuda burn.  Gordon

    Man!! that is sad

    Makes me want to go out and remove all of the rubber hose and connectors on my fuel line and replace them with metal.  Also you should get rid of glass fuel filters and double check and wrap up all wiring connections.

    There was this '72 Barracuda 340 4 speed car that was close by me.  One night the owner parked out in the lot at work and came out later to find the firefighters putting out the last of the flames.

    Waddawaste.

    The two frontal views of the Chally vert make it look sorta like a rat rod. 
    The lowered windsheild makes it look really mean!

    Sad bunch of pictures though.  I wonder what their stories are?
