I think I still like the 57 Royal Lancer better that was at Carlisle last year!

I did a search first before I posted it? The search feature on here sometimes is not so great.

I just heard about it on a episode of 2 guys garage last weekend.  :dunno:  Then did a few Google searches.

I'm just surprised they did some actual car stuff on 2 guys garage instead of just putting on a cold air intake, a new muffler system, and then spending the rest of the time trying to sell products.

I never heard of a 'Silver Challenger', that is so cool. Thanks for posting that ad!! That '57 is sweet too. I saw it at Carlisle a few years ago (if it was the same car) and I believe it also was in the "young guns" category which I think is folks 25 years old or younger which makes it even cooler. It thrills me to see young folks getting into American muscle cars!  :woo:

Very nice.

My first wife's grandmother had a '59 D500. Pink and charcoal exterior, I think it was a low deck B motor, not sure if it was a 361 or 383.

 :roflsmiley:  they were adding a cold air kit, bigger throttle body, and exhaust to a late model 5.7 silver hemi Challenger. The bald guy that's into Mopars owns a 59 "Challenger" and they did a short segment about it.  First I have heard of it! :bigshades:

I'd love to build one of those 57's with an all aluminum big CID Hemi with a novi/Paxton style supercharger, custom chassis with BIG brakes rack, etc... but keep it all stock appearing, body and interior wise! Even use the stock hub caps!  :aarg: :droolingbounce:
I better stop now.... I think I just wet myself!  :roflsmiley:
