You better change that statement to anyone under 48. I can drive 3 on the tree just fine.A three on the tree is the best antitheft device ever. No one under the age of 50 knows how to operate them!

My E 87 V code Charger R/T Sixpack car was an automatic, but I corrected that factory defect by installing an 18 spline Hemi 4 speed transmission and a Dana 60 rear axle. The car was missing the matching numbers automatic transmission, but has the matching numbers engine. Now all is right in the universe!I passed on many Chargers because almost all of them were automatic. I got my E87 D21 in April ‘85 in this condition, picture from ‘88. The ‘Cuda, also E87 D21… same. I looked at others that were 727 and passed. The Satellite is a 904. First thing I bought for it was an 18 spline 883. View attachment 1662108View attachment 1662145
Your mother probably lied on your birth certificate!You better change that statement to anyone under 48. I can drive 3 on the tree just fine.
I used to love rowing gears, not so much after reaching 70. The GTX with a 727 and hand controls suits me just fine now, since I retired the Peterbilt. But I'm still not about to embrace the EV nonsense.Rowing thru the gears gets less important the older I get too...
I don't have to have a manual trans to have fun either
in a vintage or real muscle car, far more senses are still assaulted
& I like it that way...

Oops!Hopefully it was an A833 18 spline...
As far as EV's go, I only see negatives associated with them - the whole false narrative of how they're the
supposed saviors of our world, the way they're being forced down our throats by governments vs. letting
the market demand determine things, etc.
To me, they're appliances - and I don't get any more excited about them than I do my dishwasher.
I agree,if the engine and trans were stamped and match the vehicle VIN and fender tag,on an unrestored car in 1985,it is most likely legit. 70 Charger fender tags have inspectors stamps that are not on reproduced tags. My 18 spline 833 transmission came from a 70 Cuda,and the 3.54 Dana 60 rear axle came from a 68 Charger R/T.I don’t have the broadcast sheet for my Charger. It does however have the fender tag that starts with E87 D21. A “Mopar guy” said to me years ago that fender tags are reproduced, so it didn’t prove it to be original. I guess he forgot about the matching sequence number on the 833 pad. I got it in ‘85. No one was making bogus fender tags then, or restamping 4 speed boxes. At least I didn’t see any back then.
A shifter that long makes them harder to power shiftSorry.... This **** is way more fun than plugging anything in.
There are men with sacks.....and boys with Gucci....

360 Cummins??When Tesla came out with the tractor trailer I made the comment that I would need earphones with the music of a 350 Cummins in the background!
