Thanks for the referral! I haven't driven the Charger more than 25 miles in over a year and a half, other than to top off the tank. I've been spending all the spare time with the Pontiacs (and the family)! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/grin.gif[/img]

So, I figured it's probably time - better that someone enjoys driving this monster than seeing it hibernate (like my old 93 Viper race car that's been up on jackstands for 12 years now - but that's another story).

For you toy collectors out there (of both 1:1 scale and 1:18 scale), here is the model that Supercar1.com made of my Charger a couple years ago. It came as a total surprise at the time, when someone emailed me a link on my birthday alerting me, so I bought the last few they still had.

Steve are you really sure you want to sell this baby
As I am knocking at the door going on 60 there are a few cars I really regret selling Back then it was about the money today its memories of what I once had
My first car was a copy of miss belvedere same color had a 413 in that one
Had a lot of cars in my time but the two I let go I wish I had today
One would be the 57 Plymouth and the other one would be my 1959 chevy El Camino with a 409
In all these year and all the car shows I have been I Never have seen a 57 Plymouth
Or a 59 El There has NOT been a day were I wish I had keep those two cars. They were cheep back then but today well lets just say the money is just not in my Budget as I am on SSI
They were a LOT of fun back then . I just wish before My time is up to get one more
Time to have some fun

Hi Norm, How are you doing?

As for regrets, I'll go with what Sinatra said: &quot;Regrets, I've had a few, but then again, too few to mention.&quot; [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img]

I have a list of regretfully sold cars from over the years, ranging from the 71 hemicuda ragtop, to a pair of 71 six-barrel cuda ragtops, to the 71 hemicharger sunroof car, etc, but most of them I regret because I sold them long before they became valuable. (Which isn't a proper basis for a legitimate regret to be based upon, anyway).

So yes, Norm, I will regret selling this car if it does sell, since it has been part of the family for a quarter century, long before I had a wife, or kids, but if the funds go toward something important, like the kid(s) education, it's worth it.

The daughter wants to be an engineer, so if I can help her accomplish that goal, it's fine by me. Anyway she likes her great-grandmother's 75 Firebird better anyway, since that's the first car she ever drove.

...and I wouldn't trust the Charger to my boy. If you've seen him &quot;drive&quot; a lawnmower, you'd agree. It's more like watching a full scale version of pinball, the way he manages to crash into every tree on the property. The John Deere store has an running tab at the parts counter for all the things he's broken, so far this year. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/rolleyes.gif[/img]

nice car

Now that is the quintessential Musclecar, a gross polluter and massive consumer of the Earth's limited fossil fuels. Could you imagine picking the kids up from school at Parent Pick-Up and seeing this macho Red Hemi Charger parked among a line of Toyota Prius'es? You'd definitely be the &quot;cool dad&quot; at school!

In case anyone is interested and wants to see her in person, the Charger will be at the 2011 MCACN in Chicago in November in the non-judged SYC display.

And yes, she will be riding on her 41 year old Cragars and vintage rubber. Everything on the car will be as delivered in Day 2 condition on 01/03/1970.

Stay tuned.

.....and we expect to see <span style="font-weight: bold">you</span> in 70's attire as well! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/naughty.gif[/img]

Be afraid...be very afraid. I have all of my dad's original 70's bellbottoms in the attic. The purple corduroy bellbottoms are my favorite. Combine that with the Frye boots, Foster Grant sunglasses, Polyester shirt, and macrame belt and we are ready to get down.
