A different perspective on "THE BLACK GHOST" by UTG.

First, I haven't read hardly any of this thread (yet).
My thought is that this car's rep is mostly hype. A virtually stock hemi challenger is NOT gonna be some street terror, not then, and certainly not now
Street terrors in the 70s were Addisons silver bullet, Lisk's street driven prostock challenger, and Ruggieros 505" mustang II. Tens or better, all, back when tens were fast! Any of them would trainlength a stock hemi Street car.
That said, the car probably increased $100-200k for the reputation, and if the new owner realizes it's hype, and doesn't care, and can afford the car.... more power to him! Have fun! Just don't hide it in the garage as an investment.

JMO, that car is a max 350K car in great shape. It's not in great shape and the story is what bumped it to a million.

A stockish hemi car dominating the streets... OK. I'm sure it ran well, being feared, hardly. The fact that NOBODY from back then seems to recall this being even remotely active says it all.
Like asking someone in LA if they know who Boyd, Mark Washington, Junior, Dirty Ronnie, Baseball, Groucho, Cripple Kevin, bottle bob etc are and the cars they were running back in the late 70's into the 80's. If they have no idea who those guys were, then they were hang arounds.

Tony wants clicks to pay for his habits, no thanks on that from me. Frame connectors are bad, ask tony, carry on.
