Ouch! :s022: But now, "Dawn of the Dead". No wait, "Dawn of the Living!" The new Challenger speak's volume's. The demand is there. Our car's are a part of Mopar, and other Muscle car history. I'm sure most of us got our car's because, that's what we wanted. Hey, if your a Bowtie, Ford or MOPAR.Need I say more? I've liked some of the other Big Three Brand's. But, nothing smell's better in my garage, than my "340" CHALLENGER! Yes, It's a "73 Rallye" but, It's cool, and it's mine! :D My wife wants to get one of these new 6.1 Hemi bugger's. I want to sit back, and wait. :biggrin: . Plus, we got a house and extra's to pay for, too! Long Live the Original, E-Body CHALLENGER!!!!!!! :s003:

“The Barracuda was introduced in mid-1964, weeks after the original Mustang appeared”


Wrong. They launched the Barracuda on April 2nd 1964 beating Ford by 15 days.

How ironic...seeins as all the models mentioned (deleting the Cordoba and hideous 75 Charger) are now more than collectibles.
