First New Mopar Muscle since 1970
 

For me that is. I have a new Challenger R/T in Dark Titanium on its way and should be here next week. My first new car was a 1970 Plymouth Duster 340. Had an absolute blast with that car. Also in the 70s and 80s thei list contained a '70 440 Charger, '69 Dart GTS, '64 Plymouth Sport Fury, '74 Dart and misc grocery getter mopars which all turned into rust into a few years due to where I lived in the midwest salt belt. Imagine what they would be worth today if I had the means to keep them.

Glad Chrysler finally saw fit to come out with a real retro performance car. I have been waiting for 30+ years.

The Challenger si a MUCH better car hands down. I took CRUSH to car show today and we took Best Muscle Car 1970 and newer. There were new GT Mustangs, a Shelby GT350, and a boat load of Vets there. CRUSH and I took home the trophy.

Welcome CRZN and congrats on your new muscle Mopar... I am sure you will be more than impressed... ;)

Did you forget the 1987-1991 Dodge Daytona? most people do.

RE: First New Mopar Muscle since 1970
 

I was able to forget... until now that is...

Funny thing though... I remember really wanting one of these at the time... ;)

WOW! Thanks for the warm reception. I did forget about the Dodge Daytona, sorry. My all time favorite Mopar which I never owned is Motor Trends 1969 Car of the year, The '69 Roadrunner. BOY WHAT A GREAT ERA TO HAVE BEEN ALIVE.

I have to say I am a very furgal and cautious car buyer, no spur of the moment or impulse buys, but when the car buyer at my bank told me he had located one in the Bay area with the color and options I was looking for and where the dealer would work with him and not nail on the huge dealer markup, I JUMPED at the chance. The paper work will be here Monday and I believe the car will be here Tuesday or Wednesday.

I have been grinning since Friday. My 85 year old Dad, who just bought a Sebring Convertable, is grinning too.
