Average age of Mopar Maniacs.
I'm 46, so I remember the musclecars as a kid growing up in Greenwood, IN. I remember seeing Hemi's, Super Sports, GT, Cobra Jets, ect. Back then some of these cars were just a few years old. My dad bought a '69 Chevelle new, and we street raced many times in that car. It was fast, and we only got beat a few times.
I remember one time we sat at a light on US31 when a strange-looking Dodge pulled up next to us. It sounded bad, so I looked at dad and said "take him." We revved, he revved, the light turned green, and we were off. Dad was banging the gears, and we had a good lead on him thru 3rd gear. All of a sudden the Dodge whizzed past us so fast I thought we had stopped. It had a funky wing on the back. When we got to the next light, dad said "A Hemi Superbird? If I had known that, I wouldn't have raced him!"
Oh, the memories!!
