There used to be a red T/A Challenger that sat by a house in Flint, MI. back in the early 80's just off a busy road - it looked to be in ratty shape. The car played on my mind & I planned to stop by the next time I worked the area. I stopped by a few weeks later & the owner's dad answered the door. Dad was very preturbed with his son's car sitting there for the past 2 years so he told me I could have it for 700-bucks! I told him if I could get the motor to turn over, I'd take it. I returned the following week with a tow dolly & a couple friends. We could not get the engine to crank, so I passed on it. The car was very rusty & hit in the left front, but it was a complete & real T/A with the T/A block & motor, six-pack, etc. It was an automatic plum-crazy car that had been painted red. There were a lot of other car stories from this era as well for me - I could have bought a LOT of cars. I knocked on a lot of doors & bought quite a few. What a great time it was back then!!!
Hey, speaking of Panteras, I street raced one with my old Cuda one afternoon & lost. Can you say TRACTION?
