struggle said:Jags me want to see a more complete picture. I like the looks of that color. I bet it is very sharp. What was the original color?
My buddy had a 70 or 71 Challenger that had the 440 six pack scoop, but we later found out it had a 426 with duel quads from the factory. What you think that would be worth today? We went 136 in it with me sitting behind him watching the speed.Jags said:1973 Challenger - This pic was taken awhile back. The car is currently in a much more "assembled" stance. Small block, punched out, cam'd, swirl port heads, mallory ignition and ready for exhaust (what little of it I plan on sticking under it. %-P )

The bad thing is he sold the car around 75 or so and I know he only paid less than $4000 for it new. The other bad thing was we went 136 on a snowy road back when we were really stupid. :roll:Jags said:Shipper50 said:but we later found out it had a 426 with duel quads from the factory.

An original 426 with dual quads is a "sky is the limit" type car. If you get a couple of people that get into a bidding war, it could easily get into 6 digits.
As far as speed goes, yeah, the last plane that nailed me when I brought the car home from SoCal. claimed I was doing 138 MPH. The Bastage! :shut:
It sure is but a little hard on the bumps due to the low profile run flat tires. You learn to avoid any surface deviations quickly with this car. BMW got caught up in the hp/torque wars and designed this 335i and realized it was as powerful and fun as the current (at that time) M3. The ride and tranny is much more tame than the older M3. I'm not knocking the old M3, but it was hardly civil enough to be a daily driver. The new M3, hmmm, they combined the best of both worlds. A mode for urban streets and a mode for the track and a V8 under the hood!Wet1 said:Wow, other than the grill, that hardly even looks like a BMW. I'll bet it's a nice car to drive...

Do you still call it a "fork" even if its only got 1 arm??
