This is completely wrong. None of it is true.

The worst was Bitchin Rides killing a nice 67 R/T Dodge into the chopped top mess they created.


Agreed, that '67 R/T was previously owned by a good friend of mine. He had no idea that would happen to his car at the time he sold it.

Don't shoot the messenger. I put the story out there as told and shown to me. True or not just passing information. That's why we have this site to find the truth on the Mopars found.

To them you're a for-profit social media guy, I wouldn't assume they told you the truth about anything, especially considering how they've been handling things with the car (and the guy that shot video a year ago that wasnt allowed to even post it)

Sometimes the "experts" become part of the problem or even the cause.

Glad to see the car still is around but to me looks pretty rough for the miles and care.

Nobody knows what has really gone on with the car. People are just speculating and jumping to conclusions from Chinese whispers. 99% of what you read or has been posted above is completely wrong. I've been involved directly with this whole thing since we dug it out of the garage in Sterling Heights, Michigan. If anyone has an questions, I'm happy to answer them to the best of what I'm allow to say.

Regardless its an ignorant way to sell a car (what they're doing). Put entire story out, blast across social, MSM then picks it up - then it rolls at auction.

This is a way better car than that black ghost made up fairy tale

Oh you have no idea. But I can't say anything more, but that I agree with you.

Funny, everyone is wrong but you cant say more and yet you drop the "Chinese whispers" stuff. The little people have no right to the truth.

Time and time again it seems all goes sideways when the hobby becomes the paycheck for some.

If we could buy either one we'd buy the RTS cuda.Itl probably go for ...750,000...The black ghost hemi challenger has a great history and clearly a family hirloom.Probably a 1 or 2 million dollar car.If we got the cuda we'd. Drive it locally and show it to people that hadn't seen it.And shows like chryslers at carlisle. drive
