Your new musclecar

Jeff Lee · 09-07-2008, 05:32 PM

My only new muscle car was a '94 25th Anniversary T/A. I always wanted to buy a new car and do a sideways burnout off the lot. Finally got my wish. It was a spectacular burnout on a car with 7.2 miles on the odometer! Car ran 13.95 with nothing but a Borla cat-back.
I have a friend that just inherited $40K and wants to buy a new muscle car. Once the 6-speed Challengers, Camaro's and the new 5.0L Mustang come out we're going to have a lot of fun test driving some new hot cars!

Got a call from a racer named Larry Abbott in 1971 from Kelly Chry-Ply in Marietta, GA. Said a 70 Hemi Cuda Convert was just traded in. My soon to be racing partner and I went up and $2400 later we had an original Hemi Cuda Convert. It was on the street about 5 months including in my college homecoming parade. Then it was off to Barnett Race Cars in Norcross, GA for a build. 13.60 atb 100+ mph on skinny polyglas tires before the build. Fast as 10.87 after setting the National record at 11.17. That was back when a college student and a guy working in a tire store could field a record holder.
It was all black, leather, power windows and a rim blow horn. 1 of 9 automatics. 14 total.

My father bought a new '69 Road Runner 383-335 4 speed new and I got my license shortly thereafter..........
what an adventure that became! We are still talking about it!
Then I bought a '69 Camaro SS 350-300 4 speed (I was banned from the Road Runner) and promptly replaced the 350 with a 427, more stories! That was followed by a 428 CJ Mustang (I didn't discriminate). Then a '63 Max Wedge Savoy and finally a '64 Max Wedge Belvedere (A/SA). I then got married, had 2 kids and sold everything to devote my life to my family and career. I still dream about resuming my addiction to speed. I envy you guys every day.
