@just-jeepin Lame 😕 😛

@wbizarre I had a Hillman Avenger once. My only experience of serving a motor... 🙂

@whoistheleader i have no issues with them. but then again i've never seen one of them.

@skyfire77 said in ♫Go granny go granny go granny go!♫:

an instant hot rod rock classic.

Whoa! I never even thought to look for this sort of thing on Wikipedia, and am delighted to see that car songs are considered a notable enough subgenre/style to warrant a dedicated page there!

@phenotyp with a few teeaks to the lighting and grille I think the Citadel could still almost pass for a current model.

@just-jeepin I think they underestimated the Shelby factor with that one.

@wbizarre

You can almost see the start of the crosshairs in the 1940 models.

@roadkilled Lol I was implying a Mazdodge MX7 Viata would have a VR7, but thats a cool build.

@whoistheleader yes. A modern signal is going to be switching the lights via a module (transistors, etc, not putting the light current through the switch unit.
Add that a 6v light circuit as was common up to the 40s pushes twice the amperage through the contacts, and, well...

@wbizarre mine was a 2001, so I think it was a gen 2.

@wbizarre Always liked the first-gen Intrepid's sleek styling. The second-gen was awfully B L O A T E D in comparison. (hey that might make another interesting morph!)

And that greenhouse! Good luck finding visibility like that in modern cars...

@bandit CUMMINS! and BANKS! are missing. He must be a wannabe. Not HARD CORE!

@carsoffortlangley Every trip I take I think about how much I'd like to be leading a group; today especially would have been good for that. Found several roads that were scenic & quiet & curvy & wooded & just plain nice.

@ttyymmnn You also have to wonder how useful a super restored A100 would even be.

@wbizarre If you think that Camaro window pine is bad, try morphing it with the current one. That one is two generations outdated.

@Someoneatacura Here it is, and yes, it's very close to being the same!

@just-jeepin
Honestly resto-mod isn’t the right phrase as it’s not been modernized but I’m struggling to come up with the correct term. It’s restored looking but has some 1970 Challenger parts on it which in this case is resto-past (resto-retro?) but not to the level of being a clone or anything (grille, turn signals etc). In the end it would have been more correct to say nice modified 72…

That aside, the 70 bits would include the 440 (any big block - 383, 426 Hemi, etc) that wasn’t available after 71 in the E-bodies (Cuda, Challenger), so the 440-4 as well as the 440-6 (Six Pack) wouldn’t have been an option here. It’s also got ‘70 Challenger TA chin spoilers, a ‘70 RT side stripe, and maybe a TA lip deck lid lip spoiler but I really can’t tell.

I didn’t notice the plate before but the difference between the sad-face 72 and 73-74 models is the bumper extensions between the bumper and fenders on the 73-74, which the 72 doesn’t have, hence this one being a 72…

@carsoffortlangley @facw Yeah, we're not the wealthiest out here, lol. It's always been a 'have not' province (i.e. one of the provinces that the federal government has to give equalization payments to)

@CarsOfFortLangley you're welcome at any time! 🙂

@italianjobr53
The stockers are 3.07s and with the 0.50 6th, a lot of owners were never happy with the overall GenI/II gearing. 3.55s and 3.73s are a common upgrade for driveability. It's not really that bad stock with the V10 twist as it'll idle along in 4th gear, but it's an easy mod. The 3.07s also allowed them to set 0-60 times without shifting too...

@roadkilled world record for hp per litre?
