impact of modern muscle cars on the old car market
I like both the old and new, if i was going to drive a lot, would have to go to the new challenger or demon. i was actually looking to buy a 2016 challenger, and run into a 2015 charger with a 392, 4 wheel drive, super bee package, if it had been a 2 door versus 4 door ,that would be what i would be driving now, and now with the new demon dodge put out , i am more tempted to buy new, but after passing on the new , i started a build on 1974 duster, taught my wife of 42 years to drive on a 70 duster 340, 4 speed, so the decision to build what i wanted came back to memories,but if i was going to drive from east coast to the west coast, i wouldnt dare start in a old mopar, number 1, you couldn't find parts if you broke down ,and if by luck you did, the parts people would see an out of state tag and take you to the cleaners,oh by the way the reason the 4 wheel drive charger caught my attention ,is the fact i live at a 3000 ft elevation, it would have been an advantage in the snows we get, so i can see why a young person is drawn to the new cars, convenience, and the ability to get it repaired, and park a 1972 challenger next to a 2018 challenger, and the kids will pick the newer one 90% of the time, if not because of the shine, but the interior has a lot more comfort and features. And a 18 year old is not gonna spend $20 to 30 thousand on a car and park it for the week and drive it only on the weekend, and leave it set all winter to keep it out of the salt and bad weather
