Too bad it's not a '68 R/T with a 440 Magnum. The '68 had better-looking taillights than the '69. That aside, though, my experience with the Coronet leaves me totally unimpressed with modern cars. No matter what, the computerized cars of today lack the absolute coolness factor of the TRUE muscle cars.

 

Years ago I was dead set on getting a 1970 Challenger but just could not afford it and would want to drive it more than once a week when the weather was right. Once the 2009 SE Challenger came out that was affordable and had the same looks and I can really drive it everyday and has all of the creature comforts of today I was 100% sold on a new one instead. The steering, brakes, wind noise overall lack of solidness and quiet interior of the old leaves alot to be desired. I also remember those horrible seatbelts that had no give in them. THe lap belt is stored on the ceiling too. Give me todays model anytime and it is one I can afford too. The originals value is so high that no normal person can buy one that has a family and I would always be shut out of getting an original too.
I love the originals don't get me wrong to look at. But to pay for, insure and own for a once a week drive and limited parts availability no thanks.
