wow....looks spotless.

I would love to find my dads 64 corvette some time, but it is my understanding that it was totaled shortly after he sold it.
Probably only goes 1,000 miles a year, stays tucked inside under a blanket all winter so not that hard to keep the motor clean.

Why not sell a few Dodges and pick up a 64 Vette?
right now, i dont want a 64 vette...i want my dads 64 vette. plus, ive been racing mopars for 10 years now, and i have so many parts...i have several storage garages with spare parts.

A lobby group for the auto hobby industry. Makes sense if you are in the business of selling parts and performance parts. Never realized that there were so many anit-car hobby pieces of legislation to contend with.

Here in Toronto, Tuner Street Racing is so bad legisaltion is being introduced to permit police to confiscate the cars and crack down on modifications from stock. Several innocent people have been killed by these street racers who either drag race or run through traffic likea slalom course.

OK I finally got around to put a photo of my Dodge in my computer so I can show you my toy. The car was only a few months old when I got it. It was a chrysler exec. car, I was the 1st private owner of it. Had this when I was in school, and has sentimental value to me so I will always keep it. After it was restored a # of years ago, it was driven daily during the summer, now it is an ocasional driver, on nice days.(The tires in this pic. have been replaced it now has the orig. polyglas on it)

Gary: It's a 1974 Challenger Rallye, black, with dark green interior. I'm sure that was a rare color combo, and it looks real nice that way.Name:  dodge4-1.jpg
