Most everyone who knows me knows that I am a lifelong E body fanatic. One of my Challengers, which I've owned since high school, will be in MCACN next week!
I bought a new Challenger R/T in 2009 and have enjoyed taking it to further away events, but as the years go by I have felt more and more guilty about being one of all the guys driving new or newer cars to a show or cruise.
Being someone who likes to be different, I've had in mind that if I could find a unusual car that would be comfortable for longer trips at highway speeds, and that wasn't a high dollar Mopar, I would buy it to replace my '09.
I narrowed it down to a Magnum, Cordoba or '79 300. And it had to have T Tops (or T bar roof as Mopar called them). Anyway, my friend was buying a car from a collector last spring and spotted this one in his collection. He didn't want to sell at the time, but a few months ago asked if I was still interested. I flew out to check it out, had to have it, and had Rhinodart haul it home for me. I had to put it directly into storage as I needed to sell my '09 to make room for it in my garage. I wasn't having any luck so recently put the '09 in storage and brought my new one home. Last weekend the weather was really nice so a local cruise organizer scheduled a late season cruise, which gave me a chance to take it out once this year at least. Drives great and people at the cruise loved seeing it.
Now I'm a B Body fanatic too.
