Re: Original 65 Hemi lightweight for sale

[Christopher Glick <mrchristopher1@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

DJ makes a good point.  Me being 42, I'm kindsa in the middle.  I grew up watching the "older kids" work on Hot Rods, but my first car was a Datsun b210 and it got souped up ...well as much as a Datsun can. It wasn't until my 30's that I could afford a real Hot Rod or at least the shell of one and over the years I have been able to completely rebuild every part of it.  Still have probably 2 more years before it's on the road.  I think the biggest difference, is the younger generation has this instant gratification mentality and can't comprehend spending a decade building the car you want.  Of Course I want a 2010 Challenger SRT, but that's not in my reality.

Just my 1/2 cent...

Joey,
I've given some thought to your statement below. In all honesty, trying to compare our generation(I'm 63) to the younger kids, is really like trying to compare apples and oranges.
We grow up in the golden age of automotive styling. Fins, no fins, intermediate size cars, biggg cars, and the then small cars. Most young kids grow up with Honda Civics, etc. They really can afford a new Dodge Challenger, especially the SRT. I can't afford one, well I can, but to much $.
It is nice to look at a restored '65 Sport Fury or Coronet, but if most of you are or were like me, Every car I own, old or new, always got souped up and modified. Headers, intake, bigger carb, well you get the picture. My '65 Coronet 440, came all orginal, 2dr. HT, 273. Not my type of motor. Great motor in the 1st A bodies, but not in the almost 2 ton Coronet. I put a 331 hemi in it. Couldn't afford the biggie. It was a built up motor, 413 hp according to the dyno and 434 lbs., at 2700 rpms. Had 2 4s, most non-moparites, didn't know the difference anyways.
They do care about cars, just not our cars. Not their generation thing. jm2cw

 The younger kids with the exception of site member Jason Chance really don't care about the cars the way we do.
