I’d like to see some rare beaters that are driven.
Both down for repairs right now….
Edit… long delay, sorry. I really had a bit to say. I got pulled away.
A Magnum is a 2 year run name plate. It was supposed to be called a Charger but the crusty old Chrysler executives were scared to call it one due to the radical body style change moving so far away from the “Cordoba” based Charger that sold like rotting flesh at a vegan fest. The styling department pressed on and won with 1 concession, change the name from Charger to something else. And these the “Magnum” name plate for a car line was born. This one is the last year the B body was made, 1979. 1978 was the last year of the Cordoba style Charger with a few scant thousand sold vs the 50 thousand or so Magnums sold.
These are not “Valuable” or sought after much at all but a 2 year run name plate makes it a rare car with only around 110K units sold.
(Give or take)
While a ‘1971 Duster is not a rare car, how many are left running around as a daily able driver & that do run around often? Considering these cars used to be plentiful like locusts during a plague….. LOL!!!
Thanks to the FABO members for helping me decide this natural 2 tone car painted in Bahama yellow (Butterscotch for Dodge, if I got that right) and the stain black roof and door tops.
Im working it towards a drag car slowly.
