A perfect day continued with muscle cars and ended with an antebellum home, all in Mississippi, a tasty supper in Louisiana, and some penny-machine fun (for Mama anyway), back in Mississippi. There were two muscle cars inside the buildings at Milton's friend's place. A purple Charger--1970 if I remember right--in the process of being restored sat in the newer building, and a yellow 1970 Dodge Challenger...

Rarely comes along a car, at such a price, that generates such unanimity among the Nice Pricians and Crack Piperarians, but this...
Cash for clunkers? The latest offering from the safest hands in sim racing turns out to be another reissue of ageing stalwart Race 07. Last year the Swedish dev added Nordschleife and a host of handsome Grand Tourers, and called the result GTR: Evolution. This year they've bolstered it with American muscle cars, Swedish touring action, and WTCC 08 updates, and called the result Race On. Cynical cash-gouging...

Without a transmission, cars would be limited to one gear ratio, and that ratio would have to be selected to allow the car to travel at the desired top speed. If you wanted a top...

Yes, a new Dodge Challenger Charger Daytona involves a suit, but updated to the fans of today's muscle car. Under the hood is a standard 5.7-liter HEMI V8, further demonstrates the point when it comes to SUPERBIRD / Daytona, which is on the outside that counts! Fortunately for us, HPP did a decent job abroad.Although we are convinced that it is the same dimensions as the Mondo-sized Daytona
Taylor Randall is one lucky birthday dude. On his 19th birthday while playing The Price is Right, he won a scooter, Ford Mustang, a Dodge Challenger, and $26,000 in cash. Some of these prizes he won the hard way - like spinning the Price is Right wheel and hitting the number 100 twice in a row . What are the odds?
