I'm a much bigger fan of the 68 Chargers but not a Charger guy actually

I love the 70 cockpits with console pistol grip though

Years ago a good friend told me about a 70 440 6 pack 4 pistol grip speed dana orange for a little under 5k in New Orleans. Not running, a resto project. He went down there and found it to be a little rougher than he thought. Engine was a warranty block, but the rest matched. He came back with an empty trailer, and I couldn't believe it. I told him to give me the number, that car has all of the buzz words. Gator skin top etc. The next morning he drove back down and picked it up. Screw you 72Fury, lol. It's been a good 10-15 years and he still has not turned the first bolt on it. He did get a nos gator skin top and a few parts...

My selfie with the beautiful 300 that did not sell... My favorite car there was the 67 Belvedere. The crazy EPA car was a Super Chicken & the 60 Lincoln was beautiful & did not sell.

So the sellers thought it would be 2006 again because there's a small uptick in the economy?
Somebody please whack those guys over the head with a reality bat.

I saw at least ten cars sell for 250+... There were 100 cars there that would win most shows.

What was the red car in the background behind the red GTX? It looks like a Pantera. That looks like a great time.

Hell yeah. I'm getting a beach house with just one car! Watch me. Haha. The greater fool theory is in play.

I watched a few minutes of it yesterday before the Tigers game but I did go through the website and picked out some of my notables. Mind you there are a lot of nice cars that I wouldn't mind owning on that list.
I don't know what's up with the exhaust, the gas cap, the antenna on the rear bumper or the lack of decals but I love the color on that Superbird.
