I too agree, a stock Challenger "cleaning up" in Detroit doesn't make sense unless this guy was REALLY choosey about who he lined up against.

That might explain why he had no interest in running me last August.

I thought two guys with their dad's old cars on Woodward would be a neat sell.

"The Black Ghost" vs "The Black Goat".

It was a preview to drum up attention for the indy event.

The original owner of the challenger would probably argue that. Ha

I guess we'll never know....

By way of background, mine has gone 12.20 in 1967 B/MP legal trim. Goes 12.40's as it sits.

I wanted to see what the big, bad scary MOPAR had but did not get a response.

Not knowing the situation that the seller is in, I do feel kind of sad that he is selling it. It’s such a great story.

I told the story on here a couple years ago on how I met Godfrey, he was soft spoken and a very cool guy, too bad that I didn't learn his story until decades later.... A true 100% American Patriot

Cool story. I immediately thought of the "Silver Bullet" and wondered if the 2 ever raced.

Don't know if they had "classes" on Woodward, but the Silver Bullet was maybe a little less stock?
