I love my 05 Hemi Ram



It's getting traded in on a Challenger.

Passed a beautiful green Cuda on the interstate the other day.  My eyes were fixated the whole way.  The license plate: 1-Owner. :aok

The challenger is very faithful to '70s model.  I also think it will sell well.  look at how the pony is doing.

My dad has a 88 Dakota with 200,000 something miles on it and he's never had any transmission problems.

I've got a '97 Dodge Intrepid w/ 158,000 miles.  Tranny just died last week and cost $2k to repair.  

While $2k is a lot of money, it's ONLY 5 or 6 car payments (if I had car payments)..

My previous ride was a '93 Dodge Caravan, had to put one transmission in it during it's 343,000 mile life span.  The van would still be running if I was so inclined to replace the tired old motor (still original)

2 out of X-million+.

They slip, and then they die.  Hell the "praised" New 300C's have problems.

Name me one car company that makes a perfect automobile. You can't do it, there is no such thing. Also, it's almost scientific fact that the more you pay for a car, the more problems you have. I work at an auto auction, I've driven maybe 100,000 cars of ALL types in the past 7 years, they all have quirks and problems.

Well, I don't know about the new 300's I just like the body style, as for old Chryslers though, if the Transmission starts to slip most normal people would take it to a shop and have it adjusted, before it "up and dies" And if it does up and die, their not that hard to change, anybody over the age of 10 with a iq above 20 can change one. I helped my dad change a transmission in a 1981 Dodge Aries in about 4 hours.

my 92 dodge shadow hit a coyote with the transmission at around 40 in '96 and killed the transmission, the coyote needed a 9mm to finish him.

Nothing worse than trying to make a new car look like a classic muscle car. If you want a muscle car, be a real man and rebuild one :)

After 1986, I wouldn't sit in anything named "challenger," in the first place.

Gotta go, Rockford Files is on :lol

Never had a problem with dodge trans myself, yet anyway.

One of your projects was rebuilding automatic transmissions? Where did you get info to do that?

Oh, and will you be able to take pics with the scope?

You do understand that although not a fossil of Americana (which I love about muscle cars BTW) this car will be lighter, more powerful, and faster in both the straights AND curves than any of its namesakes ever hoped to be out of the factory, right? Because it will be.

Don't call it a muscle car. Call it a high performance 2 door coupe. In any case, it'll dust your daddy's Challenger. And I'm a real man too, wanna see pics of my 70 Fairlane project? Just started working on it, but you know how it is with rebuilding one of those classics, hard to find parts and whatnot. Gives me an excuse to go to the swap meets :aok
