Survivor muscle cars

[tom406]

They are out there. While I was back in Minneapolis this past Thanksgiving, I went with my sister to visit my grandfather at the nursing home. In the front round drive, off to the side, there was a white '66 Dodge Charger parked. There was no snow in Minnesota at this point, but I thought it was pretty ballsy to have it out nonetheless. As we passed by, I glanced over to see if it had 383 emblems, and was stunned to see "426 Hemi" emblems. I looked inside at the black interior, which was very nice other than the accumulation of years of post it notes and receipts sprinkled around the dash and the automatic shifter console. When we left, I saw it backing up and went over and motioned for him to roll down his window. A gentleman about 60 years old obliged me and answered my questions. "A real Hemi car?" "yep" "How long have you had it?" "40 years" "I thought so, it had that original owner patina. I think its great that..(yada yada yada)" "thanks, see ya".

After he drove away, it finally occurred to me that I now actually have a camera in my phone. D'oh....
