These modern "muscle cars" don't do a thing for me...but a 67 Charger, Fully restored with the 383 dual 4bbl and A-707 tranny will blow most of the pony drivers down the road. A Wrangler for Sunday and Work...The Charger for Saturday night...That'll do.

I've ridden in a car like the one you described. It was impressive, and I immediately saw the difference between that and the little
tuner cars, the owners of which actually believe them to be muscle cars. What a joke.

Oops... Did I date myself? :)

And for the record, it was a wild-ass guess - As usual, I couldn't make heads or tails of his babbling, either, and took the meaning to be some mangling of the spelling of "Willys" (as in the old Jeep-alike) since the thread is automotive-based. I only threw out the Diff'rent Strokes reference as a stream-of-conciousness association that struck me as momentarily funny.

I would love a Bentley. Not so great on our funny roads, and expensive on tyres... So pretty though.

'Cept that one's the wrong color... It needs to be Deep Purple! But I imagine you've come to expect such opinions from Perfect Strangers. At least you don't have to worry about me Knocking at Your Back Door :)

Sweet Nancy was so fancy
To get into her pants we
had to be the aristocracy
The members that she toyed with
at
city club
were something in diplomacy

So we put her on the hit list
of a common, cunning linguist
a master
of many tongues
Now she eases gently
from her Austin to her Bentley
Suddenly she feels so young

Oh! I can't deny it
with that smile on her face

Oh! It's not the kill
It's the thrill of the chase!


But more seriously, the first thing I thought before seeing your text when that image loaded was "Looks like the new Camaros" - which, to my eye, are butt-ugly bricks on wheels. Wasn't until the second glance I started picking up the "Bentley" tells, then had 'em confirmed by what you said.

I did not buy the car. I wouldn't have paid that kind of money for a car.

The 440 with the sixpack was not available in 66 or 67....at least it wasn't a Charger option. The original 426 Hemi was the top mill for the years, but it was a pretty expensive option...would pass everything on the road but a gas station, and it was hard to find a race on a Saturday night. The 383 was a Chrysler product. The 442 was the Hurst package for Oldsmobile; that one is the most desirable ( by price) of all the muscle cars of the time.
By the way....that 426 Hemi gave the pore lil Ford drivers so much trouble that the big Holley Carbs had to have a throat reduction plate installed for the track. The primary Barrels were big enough to slip a fist into.

I already daily drive a ‘99 BMW M3, but I’m gonna make that the “Sunday” car.

For a daily, some sort of reliable, cheap wagon would be perfect. Probably some piece of shit, like a Prius V.

And my work vehicle would be a Cummins Dodge Ram 2500/3500.

The 383 Mopar engine dates back to 1959, the second year of the big block Chrysler engines. Chevy had a 283 starting in '57, their 383 is a stroker motor made by using a small block 400 crankshaft in a 350.

Yep, the '67 Charger was the first year of the 440 in a B-body and the 6 pak didn't show up until '69.

I really wish they would bring back the 396 that came in the 67 Chevelle I think had a super charger package if I'm getting this right.
 
I am nostalgic (and maybe a little suicidal too) and as much as I love cars overseas, for me there are only these:
Sunday Driving
Ferrari F40
Ferrari-F40.jpg

Fun and Dirty
Lancia Delta S4 Grup B (The first, with supercarge and turbocarge)
3C0A9CD7-9A05-49E7-9D0A-A3C7EB3F620B-1200x675.png

Work
not define....
I dream of being a rally / track car mechanic
but it remains a dream and that's it
 
Id drive a tank. Literally just a tank. M1 Abrams to be specific. That or a remade Tiger 1 or 2 designed with lighter armor and a modern engine so i can make that thing drift
