       Sorry Dennis, 6.1 liters is a little more like 370 c.i..
       As to the retro Mustang someone else mentioned, here is a "factoid" 
for you. About a year ago I sold a 1982 Imperial on eBay to one of the chief 
designers on that project. He and his father had almost 2 acres under cover, in I 
think Idaho. His father had 108 Mopars and this was the son's 36th.
       By the way, I agree about the Charger. But, I have seen a few photos 
where it looks better than that red "artists rendition" that appears 
everywhere.  I would have preferred a "fastback" Magnum. The "Charger" looks like 
another Asian sedan with cross-hairs on the front. 
       I guess some things have to be accepted. Except for econoboxes, the 
two door car is pretty much dead. DC is probably looking for a new line of cars, 
not a single model. They had so much marketing success with "Hemi" ("There's 
a new mayor in Carville"), they probably figured they could capitalize on 
"Charger".  A shame, they should have waited to use that name on something better. 
I threw my TV away about a year ago, so I don't know if there are TV ads for 
the Charger.  Are they trying to milk the past the way they did with the 300? 
Like the 300 ads that showed a grainy, black and white, clip of a kid and his 
father looking at a '57, or so, 300?
