Can’t Pass This Up
Thursday, May 15th, 2008While I treated the wing cars with kid gloves (see post below), this looked more like an earth vehicle, so I asked if I could sit in it.
This is one of the best ‘71 Hemi Challengers left in the world–low mileage, very original, four-speed–and doggone it, if my banker and doctor friends can buy these suckers, at least I can get a snap in one.
Vroom vroom!

It’s you Kris…. and to think you gave up Marine Biology.
Original 4sp Hemi Challengers in #1 condition are going for 7 figures these days, aren’t they?
Did you have to don kid gloves and booties?
Very cool.
No special clothing required but I hadn’t stepped in or sat in anything questionable, nor had my hands been in any grease.
I had a full beverage can, but you can bet I didn’t drop into the driver’s seat with it.
JMuss–yeah, Marine Biology seemed like a fun career years ago (not that I ever practiced it–just applied to some schools for it 26 years ago), but for this guy, Hurst pistol grips and 500-horse Hemi V8s pump a little more adrenaline than phytoplankton.
