In the past 30 years I've owned 12 Hemi Cudas/Challengers/
Road Runners (all hardtops). I'm afraid I'm old enough
to have driven some of them as transportation, blew them up,
junked the motor, tossed in a 440, and kept on trucking.
Nope...I wasn't smart enough to keep 1 or 2.
And musclecar convertibles are an amazing story.
It's absolutely true that during the musclecar era,
those of us with hardtops would NEVER own a convert
due to the extra weight. Now that extra weight is spelled
CASH!!!
Marty...any car is driveable if set up properly.
I recall a famous 65 Nova Pro Streeter with a supercharged
AND turbocharged big block Chevy that purred at idle.
You just couldn't slam the throttle open! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
