Was at the dealer and saw this

That is one nice car....

That is one nice car....

Amen to that!

As much as it would be wonderful to have that Demon in the garage, I'd take that '67 Charger sitting behind it

Very nice Demon.  I'm with Haird, I'd rather have the Charger sitting behind it.

Pretty good guess on the year it’s a 66

[ultrarider123]

I had a 50-50 shot with just the rear of the Charger to go with.  I almost went '66 but from what I could make of the rear emblem on the trunk it made me pick '67.  Actually, both years had similar rear ends/quarter panels.


Heck, I'd take it, either year....

I've got the old Mopar already.....I would like to park the Demon next to my Cuda.....

I'm guessing at the time that was a good idea...still feel that way today, John?

I'm still pining over my 1962 Corvair convertible and that was 37 years ago.  Obviously not a Dodge with a Hemi but still it's the one I regret to this day selling.

Had a high school friend whose dad was a salesman at one of the local Chevy stores and his demo was a black '62 Corvair Monza Spyder convertible.  You better believe that after his folks were asleep for the night we had many fun times with that car.

Haird,
I was selling cars at Arrow Chrysler-Plymouth then, and the market was flooded with muscle cars. We even had a yellow 440 Plymouth "Super Bird" that went begging. Couldn't give it away, so I figured $5500.00 was a good deal at the time for the Cuda. Besides I built it on the dealers money, and didn't have to split anything.
Was at Mecum last week, and Hemi Cuda's were bringing well into 6 figures. It is what it is.

Nice memories John. What a thrill it would be to own that Super Bird now. Forget the value part, more just to have a memory of the power days. Besides it was Yellow, it had to be a winner....lol

 A friend of mine has one on order they sell for $110k+ depending on buyers fee from dealer. You actually have to sign a waiver form to just order the car. Insurance is very high for this car. I have heard a lot if insurance companies are cancelling the policies. That is one bad ass car.
