And here I am, a generation behind, or more, continuing the legacy. I never had the chance to own one of these nice cars and I'm sorry that I missed that period.

I would love to say that I still own one of these cars today, but probably like most people I wouldn't think about keeping it that long, that it would become such a collectors car in the future. I love it when I see a Charger, or any other muscle car, around here. I saw two recently which shocked the heck out of me, both Chargers. One was in pretty sad shaped, owned by the daughter of a man that repainted the car and did a horrible job on it. The work that needed to be done on this car was extreme, though the body wasn't bad nor the interior, but when she tried to fire it up, it took it some time. Once it did fire up though, oh it was nice. It's amazing back in the day that those little tail pipes put out so much noise. Was that do to lack of a cat or was it something else? Oh, I would love to have that car even though I would be all over the roads in the winter.

I saw my second one just going through neighborhoods looking for a house to buy. I was shocked to see these so close toghether, time frame wise, right in front of me, but out of my reach. I wish I had a camera for both of those that's for sure. Loved them.

Now we come to present time. It may not be like it was back in the day, the comforts were probably not the best, the seatbelts and body of the car made crashing very dangerous, though the car would come out fine, the Mustangs would blow up if hit from behind, but I would still take one. I don't even car what it was, Mustang, Challenge/Charger or Camaro, back in the day, but present time I would only own a Mustang and Challenger because these two to me are the only ones that really carry on the heritage. Change the name of the Camaro and I may considering owning that, but not as a legacy car.

It's not quite the same, but I'm very thankful that I get a chance to own something that is going to be a piece of history. I'm hoping that I will be able to make this my last car that's for sure, but we'll see with my collection that I already have had in the past. With some luck I'll be able to continue this legacy with my children and they will have an appreciation for the muscle cars of today and of yesterday.
