Shit made in the 60's generally suck to drive until modified. Some rare exceptions but the charger is not one of those exceptions. Couldn’t agree more. Most people don’t know what all original is anyway. The cars you are driving today are perfect. Nothing like older cars. The paint and fit on them were awful. I like my car, but am I owning a hot rod with a 175 hp. Motor? Hell no! Let my wife worry about resale, when I die. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I first started collecting Corvettes I was all into the Bloomfield and NCRS bullshit. That phase didn't last long. It's more stress than anything.

Yeah, some of those guys are nuts. we have done a couple, where they came in with nice shiny paint jobs and we sanded em down and repainted with lacquer. kind of weird, making a car look worse than when it came in. probably done more corvettes than anything. i had a guy bought a new frame, every bolt, screw, fastener. completely disassembled his car and rebuilt it from a bare frame. motor, trans, rear end, interior. all new. it was a pretty fun project. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cold War Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 The days of a shiny paint job and a set of wheels are pretty much over. You really have to push the envelope to get your car noticed now. My dads mustang. Never driven, other than to put it on and off trailer. Not for me. I wouldn’t own a car, I wouldn’t drive. 7 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 Owner of this 68 Hurst Olds passed away a while ago and donated the car to the Oldsmobile museum in Lansing Michigan. Had several other high end collectable Oldsmobile's from the 60's and 70's not sure what happened to them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would want to enjoy the car I put that much time and money into. Some people get that excitement out of shows though I guess. I guess that’s why I really dig rat rods.

You go to the shows with all these beautiful high dollar cars and every one is flocking around the rat rods. You can only look at so many Camaros, chevelles , corvettes.
