Some company sells a suspension package for late 60’s muscle cars for around $35k. They are still easily outperformed by their modern brethren (Mustang, challenger, etc.)

People forget that the first mustang was a Falcon with a sexier body. There was a reason we called my friend’s 1969 Charger a led sled.

In (or about) 1968, my mom decided she wanted/needed a new car. She was partial to Chrysler products.

I told her that she should get a Charger.

She actually went to a dealer and asked about it. The saleman couldn’t figure out why a middle-aged woman would want a Charger, so he asked her what was up.

She allowed as how her son had recommended it. The salesman asked her how old I was, and she said 19.

That was the end of that.

She ended up with a Coronet, which was basically the same car. I did succeed in convincing her to go with the 318, so it was a partial victory.
