Reminds me of years ago when I called about a Challenger. They assured me - no rust. When I got there, I opened the trunk lid and stared at bare ground. It was about an hour drive. Nowadays, that would have been a darn good buy. Back then, it was only 1978 -1979. The second time was the same thing. Around 1983- 1984. no rust. Bare ground. Of course, back then, there were NO parts at all to be found, except in the junk yards. NO one reproduced anything Mopar at all. Can't find the ad now, but it was from the Houston newspaper. 70 or 71 Cuda 426 HEMI, balanced blueprinted all kinds of stuff. Tired of racing. car and trailer and parts for $5000.00 I thought about it, then decided I didn't want to be working on something full time, I just wanted a car that I could drive, so I bought a 1987 Buick Grand National. Yeah. What a dummy I was. Of course it might have been a back halved strip car only. I will never know. Still. I ate beans and rice for years to afford that Grand National. I was 25. It was worth every penny. Mopar had nothing at that time to compare. Turbo econo boxes. Yeah, I liked the little Omni GLH, and the Chrysler Lazers, and the Charger 2.2's and the Dodge Rampage, but one ride in a full size car that could blow them and the Fox Mustangs away sold me. Off topic, so I will shut up now. I wonder how much different my life would have been if things had turned out differently........ lol. (my first car was a Charger that I bought at 15) Wish I would have kept my 68 Sport Sattelite Vert.
