The Roach is super-solid. Very impressive. I'm just sorry I didn't catch the build thread earlier, and snag those wheel covers from you as spares for my car!
I have similar feelings about my car sometimes - that I paid too much for it. But, given the similarities to mom's car that she bought brand new; where it came from versus where mom was when she had hers (both Gainesville FL, only 50 years apart!); the fact mom was a teacher when she had hers and the original finance papers I got with mine show teachers' union financing....and then I look at the pricing of other Chargers, today? Yeah, I did fine. Only 3 years (ish), and comparable cars are selling for about 2x what I paid. I'm good with that.
/6 is a great motor. I had one in a Volare with factory a/c years ago (like, early 2000s) and LOVED it. Great running car, outstanding fuel economy (mid-20s around town), a/c blew 40 degrees at a hot idle in 90 degree weather...for someone who likes to DRIVE their classic cars (I LOVE driving my stock 318 Charger), it's a great setup. And, basically indestructible.
