Im a guy who enjoys lifting the hood and looking underneath on the occasion
I have a 66 and 67 charger and will soon have my grandpa's 57 olds 88. None of them run
Ill be building a 440 here soon for one of the chargers with a manual. The 57 ill be keeping original for now, but may drop in a modern fuel injection engine.

None really now but couldn't write on this page all the cars I have had, started working on cars at about 12 with my dad and wound up a 50 + years as a mechanic in 2017, old cars are what I was brought up on, early 80's and back into the early mid 50's of course they weren't that old when I was learning to work on them. :) Love the 440, very simple engine and a power house. My dad worked for a Chrysler dealer ship in the late 40's and 50's , so he was a Chrysler man, I had a 70 Challenger 440 and a 69 Swinger 340 and my brother had a 68 Road runner 383 ,but mainly I went with the Chevy had a 50 Chevy/2 55's 3 57's post and hard top a 64 SS and several more in the later 60's and 70's, models, man wished I had them back today. Good luck with you adventure, pictures would be nice. :)

Got a couple 67 Camaro's. Doing an LS swap on one now. The other is still quite a ways out. Was talking a while back to a young guy telling him how I took an air chisel and hulled out a 55 two door chevy going to build a dirt track car. He looked at me in disbelief and said I was going to HE**. It wasn't that old of a car at the time.
