  1. In a manual/sick shift transmission the sound of the rattling around from the actual transmission on a car is the sycronisor so the gears do not have to match the road speed like on a semi tractor trailer truck because those so not have that sound coming from below the floor at all

  2. put the parking lights on parked, bet the radio will come without touching the key, 1 quart of oil for every 1 thousand miles is considered normal oil consumption for the hemis

  3. SWEET,SWEET,SWEET!!!!!!! What I would give to have one of those I'd give my nuts, and moved to Idaho but I'd have that car. The end CMA.

  5. When I was a kid back in the early 70s, a guy up the street had a yellow Superbird.
    He used to leave it parked in the driveway all the time.
    We would stop by on our bicycles to marvel at it.

  6. I remember reading that the Superbirds had vinyl roofs to conceal "rough body work".

  7. This Plymouth and the 69/70 Chargers are the best cars ever made if you had the guts to plant your right foot. Thanks for posting the Video and thanks Jeff, Impeccable Craftsmanship by the Guy who did the work.

  9. Nascar did not outlaw the car. They reduced the engine displacement you could run for the car , thus making it non-competitive against the standard bodies with bigger engines and a lot more HP. That's why they disappeared from the grid. The cars you could buy at the dealership (which nobody did) would not remotely come close to 200mph. 3:23 gear at topped out at around 135 or 140. The nascar boys did a lot of changing on these before they ran them. Very few people liked these things, which is why they sold so poorly back in the day.
