My uncle had a Challenger of that vintage. He gave it away after becoming convinced he’d die in it if he kept it. Guess what happened within a year. :(
Still have mine!
Well, talking about old muscle cars.. Last night I went to the bank outside teller machine next to a restaurant my wife and I were visiting.
The man in front of me, probably in his late 30’s, had a sparkling, original Pontiac Fireball convertible, iridescent blue, mint condition. Hadn’t seen one like that in decades though there are some 1970’s Challengers and Chargers near me.
We exchange small talk and was impressed when I told him I drove a 1957 Chevy 210 (once with 8 girls in it).
My grandson is legally blind but he loves to collect Die-cast miniature cars. I just gave him a white Challenger with a rear stabilizer on the truck. It was really too small for him to see much except to touch the stabilizers so I went to Target tonight and bought him a larger, die-cast “FADA” “Fast & Furious” 1970 Dodge Charger, black with a chrome intake spoiler on the hood, and chrome wheels.
It is about 6-7 inches long so he’ll be able to see it much better than the smaller car I just gave him. For his birthday, I might be able to get him the much larger 2-16 inch model so that he’ll have a really good visible car in his collection.
Now, about that 1950’s Harley in his family’s basement!!!
