Traded my 70 Challenger R/T !

[Big AL]

I was looking around some muscle car Dealer's and came across a 2012 Challenger SRT 8 Yellow Jacket
and after reading all the options and the work done by Arrington Performance somehow I'd had to have it
and I talked to my wife and she liked it, So I called the sales person about this beauty and after going back and forth I asked him for his sales manager
oh I forgot to mention that this is the same place I bought my 70 R/T !.. So after sending pics of my R/T with all the upgrades
I put on her we can to an Agreement about a trade and I got the Yellow Jacket and a good chunk of change for my 70 Challenger 440 R/t.

That's a good looking car, what's the specs on the motor?
I think you'll enjoy driving it.

Nice choice! I would have keep both. A while back my son and I pulled into a car lot. Actually we skidded to a stop! There was a yellow jacket there we looked at.
As we were looking at it nobody came out. Pulled the driver's side sun visor down and the keys fell. started it up and nobody came out! It was soooo tempting to just go. It had dealer plates on it. I could see the future at that point.
A whole bunch of them.

Wow, that's impressive.
But I'm guessing you don't plan to drive it much?
1000HP is a little ridiculous on the street, but that's the beauty of these new cars, and all creature comforts compared to the oldies.

Nice, but I would have kept the 70.

Same here. I once had a guy offer to buy me a new Challenger for my Cuda. The paint was shot and the interior was pretty shabby at the time. I turned him down.

I sure would have if I had a 2 car garage.

Sometimes you just have to build a new garage! I would have kept the old and got the new and built a garage!

That's my thought and my brother's too. He had a 24x24 garage when he bought the house. Shortly after he built on a 28x32 garage with living space and office above. As if the house wasn't big enough. Again shortly after built a 32x32. I thought he was done. Nope a few years ago I helped him build a 24x40 shed. He already had a 12x12 shed. He is now wanting to build more garages on his other 2 properties.
