That is a well done video. I was in awe when I saw it at MCACN a few years back; a wonderful family and a great story.

Wow!! Great story and really well done video. It was like a Nat Geo or Nova episode. I'm glad to see they didn't tear it down and restore it.

This is one amazing Video of an Amazing Car Guy and his Amazing Car!
Not ashamed to say....this story made me tear up.

This Challenger was the car that Stole the Show at MCACN that year! HANDS DOWN!

This Family and Car is worth another Special Invite to MCACN!
I vote, YES.....let's get them to return.
GQ will be smiling down

Great story/car/individual and could/should be a movie but most important, hats off/salute to Godfrey Qualls.
Here's a Hemmings link on the story w/ Black Ghost being added to the National Register of Historic Vehicles also a few pics...

I'll tell you what hit me hard- He said exactly what I can see myself saying to my kids someday if I ever have any....

"Don't give my f***ing car away!"
