His car was fully stripped and all prepped for speed.
So he challenged us, ah wel ok..

Beautiful
Nice ride
kinda cool, probably powerful but maybe like # 20 something at best on my all time great muscle cars. Top 5 at least are all Mopars followed by Corvettes, Mustangs, a AMC perhaps, a Cougar, a late 60’s camero, a ’79 Trans Am,
69 GTO
Jim u gotta get your back its sweet
Niicceee!!!

Well I am lucky enough to own an iconic 1969 Musclecar ! It is an original 1969 Charger R/T 426 Hemicar and beautifully restored!
