The Charger is coming back too. But it will not be the same without the big block tire smoking power like the old days. :-\

It sure would look nice setting in my garage next to my `73 Challenger (not a hemi  :().  I wonder if they will offer a pistol grip shifter in the new model?

Pontiac started this with the GTO. But the kids that are disigning the  cars  are clueless of old school stuff. I had a 70 RT Charger 440 4bbl and a 70 Superbee 440 Six pack both 4 speed with pistol grips. The Superbee was my high school champion. Spanked all those mustangs and cameros. MOPAR kick A$$ back then

my friend has a 69 superbee.

What eng ?

440

Give ma a Chevelle SS454 with cowl induction any day!

Our age is showing, guys! ;)

I had a few chev to. 70 Chevelle SS454 4 speed, 69 vette conv with 427 sixpack (no a/c) and a rare 69 Z28 with a 302. This car as a very rare option 4 wheel disc brakes. it was fun growing up in the 70s

I  hate  to  say  it  but  big-daddy , Your  full  of  it.

Got pictures and here my current toy parked in my garage. 86 TR flat 12 cyl.  ;D

Quad32x, look what I found

Quad32x, Not making fun of you... been in the car business for over 24 years, but before you say some one full of it. Get the fact first before making that statement.

 those cars our just memorys now. Back in the 70s those cars you can buy for less than $5,000 new. Now just the vette is going for over $65,000. I wish I had some of those cars back for my son to enjoy.  :-\  Later I post on the for sale forum my current muscle car I am selling.

Come  on  now.  Quit  pullin  my  leg. ::) ;D

The 71 Hemi-Cuda was one of my all time favorites ...but that green one looks perty good.

Why do I have to do that? Went you are in the car business for that long, you collect and sell cars. I do the same with my Quads... BTW I worked in the service end of that business not sales.

The 426 hemi was a very hard engine to work on, but other than that it was a nice car. Lime Green does look good.

IT IS CHALLENGING WHEN YOU HEAR SOME SPEAK OF A 302 IN A CHEVY BUT IT IS TRUE. DESTROKED 327. IF I AM NOT MISTAKEN

302 Chevy Yes, but Boss 302 in a Chevy ???

Cosworth Vega... remember that one .

Only 290hp but red line at 8000 rpm on light car. Chuck your are going to like the car that I am selling. It’s a 69 maurder with owner manuals and the 69 sale catalog.

bd , Im  kiddin  with  ya. ;D

Sorry my mistake! thinking about the ford that I am selling.

 8)

WOW, thats a name from the past. I remember the kids dropping 327ci in the vegas and the header hitting the ground over bumps.

My first car was a 69 camaro ...even though I was born in 71 .....always loved that era of autos .My dream car has always been a 69 YENKO Camaro..

I have always wanted a 57 210 Belair.

My  very  first  car  was  a  70 1/2  Z-28  Camaro. ;D  Wish  I  had  it  today ! ;D 8)

Taht was a good year for that car if I remember correctly
 Had a bad little 350 .

Yea.  The  LT-1.   350 ci  and  350 hp. 8)  By  the  time  I  got  it  though  that  motor  was  long  gone.  Went  out  and  got  a  4  bolt  main  truck  block  and  went  from  there ! ;D

Was that the split bumper?
I had a 70 split bumper but I don't think it was a Z-28. It did have a 350 with a 2 speed power glide. That cra was pretty darned fast. I only had it for 3 months and then sold it when I moved.

Mine  had  the  one  piece  on  the  front  but  on  the  Z-28  you  could  get  the  RS package  [Rally Sport]  and  it  had  the  split  bumper  and  round  blinker/running  lights  on  either  side  of  the  grill  along  with  the  wood  grain  interior.  The  standard  Zs  blinker/running  lights  where  under  the  bumper. 8) 

Does anyone know if Plymouth is actually going to produce a new Hemi Cuda?  If so, in what year? 

It's sad that when and if they bring back this car it's gonna be 1/2 of what the original car was. So much emission crap on it, detuned, and designed for mediocre(sp?) performance. They ruined the GTO's image when they brought it back out. Looks like a grand am. Ford did ok with the new mustang but still should of made it an option for a 5.4L or a blown 4.6. Well the only thing left is for GM to unvail the camaro. I'm sure it'll look like a 68. Well, if it comes out.

GTO: First one was a joke! duel exhuast coming out one side? what was up with that  ??? Next we be the Judge GTO, You guys reminder that one? tach on the hood with a 455 ram air engine

Here come the JUDGE here come the JUDGE .Remember that one . ;)

Yes I do 

That's the one I used to have...man I'd love to have that car back :'(.

BTW, although most of the new cars are loaded with emissions and HP #'s are reported as lower the new versions usually outperform the old ones by a mile.  Today all HP readings are rear wheel, the old days used crank HP.  Most of the 60's musclecars ran mid 14's in the quarter mile while now 4 door sedans do that.  The advantage on the old cars was that they were sooo easy to modify.  Changing headers and intakes along with a gear swap made a big difference.

And yes the new GTO is ugly, but it does run 13.3's.

My first was a 77 Ford Maverick, 300 inline 6. I could bounce the front end as though it had hydraulics. Man that "Cuda is sharp

Chuck did Ford make a Maverick Grabber with a V8?

Not chuck, but yes they did.

My first was a 64 Falcon Sprint with a 260 CI engine and a 4 speed also had a bench seat with cut out for the shifter. It was no dog as it would run 13.45 which was not bad for a stock car, well headers and 4:10 gear but at the time was aNHRA "J" stock class. This was with the stock 2 barrel carb. Fun car would shock lots.

   Jim,

yea i had a 70 judge 400 ram air iv

Big daddy...You have a Ferrari...I dont care what year it is...Ill let you drive my truck if I can drive the ferrari..... ;D

only if you leave your girlfriend in the truck  ;D

That is a cool lookin car and the color looks good too. My Mustang Cobra I sold 2 years ago.

Guys being the young age of 34 all these cars bring back the memories.
The only problem is now most of the cars I want I cant afford em.I saw
a real clean 73 camaro Saturday guy wanted $9,000.Probably not too
bad a price but for a 3rd vehicle that is way past my limit plus work you
will need to do.Just seems the best way to go anymore is an older 4.6l
mustang and build it and still get 15-20mpg with air conditioning .Yes
the new GTO is not the prettiest car where you gonna get 400hp for
less than $35k.New Stangs are nice 300hp look and drive  good.Sorry
know too many who spent tons of money on cars and never finished.
their cars.Nothing against the classics but I don't miss drum brakes and
manual steering and no a/c.But if  i had  my choice 67 RS with hideaway
headlights.Just like in "Better Off Dead" for you 80's dudes

anything carrol shelby had his name on was a work of art. my dream car 67 shelby gt 500

Me too!!!!  ;D

If I could have the car I wanted money no object would be a 46 ford
with a hemi and 8-71 blower with fuel injection.Saw one in HOT ROD
in the eighties and never forgot it.Have someone like Boyd Coddington
build it.Love the sound of blower

no one seems to remember the limited edition race ready camaro huggers which were numbered on the quarter panel. i believe they were 1 thru 99. maybe i was in a dream world. it was in the late 70s i believe.

The 70's ??? That says it all ;D

Ya I remember that. With front Nascar windshield frame

thanks bd. i kmew i wasnt crazy. your right they had the clamps on the front and i believe on the rear as well.

I think they came in orange or red only

Well since hemis's,big block chevy SS and shelby fords are out of the
price range of most folks.Matter of fact most mainsteam 60'S and early
70 going up.What will be next thing 74-79 camaro and firebird  TA's.
Good clean 2 door malibus and El-Caminos are getting up there.To me
78-79 Z-28 were about best looking of the bunch.73-76 Trans Ams
with the round lights were sharp.80-86 Regals,Cutlass,Monte Carlos
will probably be it.Cant bring myself to thinking a fairmont is pretty.

1967 Mercury Comet with a 428 SJC and a 4 on the floor. :)

67 L-79  Big Block 427 Vette 3X2bbl.
