Did you have to drag him away from all the imports, or is he really a Detroit iron kind of kid?


Actually the opposite, I tried to convince him that he needed a practical first car, a newer model that he could jump in and drive. He said no way, he wanted a classic, so I gave him a budget and said okay but no projects, has to be something that someone has already restored and imediately driveable.

We started out looking at Mustangs but he liked fastbacks and only coupe's were within the budget. So he started researching and suddenly Mustangs were second to Charger's, but for the most part Charger's are harder to find and more expensive than Mustangs! We struck lucky finding this one only 150 miles away.

It's a '72 Super Bee Clone in sub-lime, with a 318CI (bored to 340) auto. Ideal really, looks the part, but not so much power my wife has to lay awake at night. BTW that's her Jeep, she's the practical one Wink
