Had a neighbor as a kid that had the Charger variant, 440 I think, white with blue stripes but he used to troll slowly threw the neighborhood with that muscle rumble, might have been an automatic, more of a luxury type of guy not a hot rodder. Never got on it, I wonder where it is today...

At one time, I had an old mopar. A big ole late 60s chrysler newport 2door hardtop(similar to a fury) with a hopped up 440 and a dana limited slip rear end. Mine had 4 wheel drum brakes that didn’t work in the rain, and an AM radio that didn’t get reception when the sky was cloudy. The front suspension was such that if you installed radial tires, the car was virtually uncontrollable on uneven pavement. The heater got hot enough to cause blisters on your feet. I could drive it in below zero temps with the windows down and stay warm. It had a 3 speed automatic and would do 60MPH in first gear. If I drove veeery carefully, I got 8MPG, but under 5MPG if I drove with a lead foot.

Yup, that is how my 71 Duster will look when I paint it. I have a stroked 360 (408) and get 20+ MPG. Lots of fun and fast!
