I love the old stuff, and will always have at least one oldie for that feel and sound, but it's really hard to argue the new stuff for exactly what you mentioned. AWESOME!!! Thx lMop ... but dropping almost 40k was a surprise .., I was thinking about buying a wrecked SP or HC and then transferring everything into a REAL Ugly Betty but that’s over my head since I’m slightly over 39 years old !! And tb .... I hope to .... and being open about the purchase - if someone wants my dealer contact I’ll be glad to share it. I got a base 2020 car ... that is LESS EXPENSIVE than some 17, 18 or 19 cars with MANY MILES on them. They still have 2 black Charger cars ... a green and blue one - not B5. Also have a couple of Challengers. Thx Ram .... and can you believe that I’m a touch over 39 and never bought a new car ?

Last fall, I got the opportunity to test cruise a low mile '15 Scat Pack six-speed. Our local dealership is located on a highway just outside of city limits. First turn out of the lot and by third gear I knew I was taking it home. The manager was not impressed with my exit from his lot... Last edited by kab69440; 03/18/20 07:43 PM. Just because you're paranoid, it doesn't mean they are not out to get you. WANT TO BUY- Looking for a CD by 'The Sub-Mersians' entitled "Raw Love Songs From my Garage To Your Bedroom". Also, any of the various surf-revival compilation albums this band has contributed to.

If you decide on a minor upgrade on the exhaust the vibrant1794 are pretty decent.....deeper rumble over stock, not much louder cruising, but will put a smile on your face when you hit the go pedal.

It has all the creature comforts(radar cruise,blind spot,backup camera,etc,etc) and 460HP w/ 10 speed auto. Crank it up to 4k(7k+ redline) and let that auto tick through the gears and you're in triple digit land in a hurry! If I want old school, I hop in this...470" low deck,4 spd 3:73 geared, man steering/brakes. I still love driving this old girl and it's a hoot when you hit the loud pedal but road trips in the new muscle will be a tad more comfy.

I went to visit my sister in California and we drove past a Dodge dealer. They had a black one in the showroom with silver stripes. I still remember that car. I got a brochure and looked at it several times over the years. I was driving a loser cruiser Honda at the time. I lusted after the Challenger but any thought of owning one was so far out of reach. My sister bought an R/T new in 2015. What a great car.

What say you ? Hopefully you'll think of your 62 Belvedere; again. And drive it. And when you do, if you're like me, you'll be, "Oh man, I missed you Belvedere!!" I bounce between my Hellcat Charger, 71 Super Bee, '09 300, 72 Imperial, etc, etc. and each time, I love driving each and every one of them, for their individual differences, for the cars that they were, for the cars that they are, and for the joy they bring me at the time I'm driving them. Congrats on the new car, and don't wait too long before driving ole '62! WHYlee.... I hear you but sometimes you have to move on. I’ve had that car since 1970 .... but chit happens. I finally sold my northern Michigan property and I have until October to remove the remaining stuff with NO PLACE down here to put it. The 62 has been sitting since 04 .... and as itis suggested - part of it has probably melted into the ground I am TRYING to find some storage space to move stuff here ... but the cost is huge and ALL THIS STUFF is 1500 mules away

dOoC OP The village idiot's idiot Joined: Jul 2008 Posts: 30,445 Florida STAYcation	Originally Posted by topside I'd be interested in an old prehistoric, caveman '62 Savoy or Belvedere... My 1st impression of the new Mopar muscle was when I worked at a Dodge dealership. I thought "cool, nice cars; really small windows, though" and how much boxier the new Challenger was vs the original... Drove 'em all: great power & good dynamics, but I have no desire for all the electronics and nannies. Regardless, they're still nice, and I'm glad they're out there and folks are enjoying them. And I respect that they're better at almost everything than the old cars. I'm just hung up on the visceral stuff, simplicity, and styling of the old stuff. ts .... well drop me a line ! ... I’ve got THAT plus two classic motor homes... a 90 mph HydroStream ... a old shovel nose drag boat and that 440 84 Laser ... That ole 62 ... is how I got started in the fiberglass business!
