      I'll exchange precious knowledge for the remaining 300 likes. The world is flat, and disk shaped. Australia is incapable of existing. Russia is a hoax, and does not exist. Nuclear weapons are a troglodyte conspiracy to control us, they are totally metaphorical. There is NO Atlantic ocean, the united states sits on the shores of the Caspian sea. THIS IS ALL FACT. DO A BURN OUT.

      You should see the cars I restored,one 69 was rusted.smashed used as a parts car and now its a show car,stock appearing with a stroked out 78 440 to 512 c.i ! I own a 68 Charger RT that was never a wreck,I put over 300,000 miles on it now it runs a 76 440 stroked to 535 ! Stock appearing oem style is waht I go for and engines well even non strokers I upgrade the cam and heads and even a stock 440 from 71 older will make 550 hp easily with a cam and a good head job with a intake /carb and headers ! My 68 runs low 10's in the 1/4 with 3.23's and drag radials that dont hook up ! The 69 runs low to mid 11's and all my engines run on pump gas 91 - 93 octane !
      I slowed down on restorations these days and focus on easy stuff like selling modern turds at my dealer lol..But still rsotre 1 -2 cars per year..I can do a twisted,rusted,dented car in 1 year and not full time either ! Not hard especially today with al the aftermarket parts,true they need tweaking but quicker than hunting down rust free straight parts !

    This reminds me of 1983. I had a similar condition Charger R/T (440 auto) that I bought for $500 with a 2 gallon gas can in the grill. I had clear fuel line (from my fish tank) so I could see the gas flow through when I 'punched-it' ... then the radiator fell into the fan and sprayed hot coolant all over us. The ride was short, but so much fun !!!! .... 'eh, I was on a paper route budget...

    I'm a Chevy guy but, I would so buy this. I love how the body is still all there but you can see the Bondo and rust all over. I've always been a massive fan of vehicles that look like shit on the outside but can scare the shit out of you and curb stomp anything in your way. We have a 72 Nova that was originally a six cylinder slide car that now has a 383 and a 400 turbo in it. We squeezed a 10:83.7 out of it. My favorite thing about the car is that it just says "Nova" on it. No overcompensating "SS" logos on it. Nobody notices it until you crank it over. 12-1 compression ratio gets people's attention. Lol. But still. I want that charger. I WANT IT!
