"There are countless horrible things happening all over the world and horrible people prospering, but we must never allow them to disturb our equanimity or deflect us from our sacred duty to sabotage and annoy them whenever possible." -Auberon Waugh

Nice
I haven't seen one of these in quite awhile: a Dodge Viper, spotted in the parking lot of a local supermarket.
There were a couple of these scooting around Perth too, though I can't remember the last time I saw one. Maybe they're sitting in garages, waiting to be discovered in thirty years.
they're offering the "last call" editions of the Challenger and Charger for 2023, and say that they will have an electric muscle car for 2024, we'll they come out with.
That '74 probably had at least 150 less horsepower than a 71. They started slapping crap on it that robbed hp in 72. They got rid of the slant 6 and then went to Mitsubishi 4-cyls sometimes with a turbo slapped on it. And added buttons, lots of buttons. Buttons that didn't seem to do much but stop working. Sorry, I love pre 72 Mopars, they can be darn near race cars, post are not.
So, it's just your average grocery-getter, I guess.
ReplyDeletePurty.
ReplyDeleteThe only post 1972 Mopar I'd want to own.
R-man: Yeah, probably just driven by a little old lady once a week to the supermarket parking lot to buy pot.

Amen, brother.
Well, it's pretty, and I can see its appeal.
ReplyDeleteBut if I have to own transportation named after a poisonous reptile, I prefer this model.

Jeff: Ok, is there an EV version of that?

ReplyDeleteProbably not, Paco. Commander Adama isn't stupid that way.
Possibly related, Ford is stalling the EV version of the F150. I can't imagine why.
Daisy Duke's '74 Plymouth Road Runner was worth having. As was Daisy Duke.

Looks like one from a Mecum Auto Auuction. Sweet ride, but can't haul a lot of groceries ... or much of anything else.
