I was just thinking this morning; I am 77 years old, and yesterday I was doing burnouts with like-minded friends. When my Dad was 77, he passed away.
I'm sorry for the loss of your father, but don’t go there. You're not done yet!!

I drove my 68 Barracuda fastback 45 miles to pick up 4 5x4.5 15x6.5” steel wheels 3 of which had truck tires mounted ( $10 each couldn’t pass ) then drove over to tire store to have tires taken off . I own 2 trucks but love to drive the Mopars … it’s my car-truck ..lol
Actually I drive it everywhere.
An every other day driver . Probably put 25k on it in last 3-4 years . My 408 W2 4sp Dart Swinger doesn’t get daily action now but once I sort out all the gremlins it will get driven more casually …almost there .
I drove my 73 Dart Sport 340 4sp from Boise to Minnesota and raced a muscle car shoot out (ran 12.9s ) and back home in the 90s
My 70 Charger was my “summer” daily driver from 1981-2016 when I sold it . Mstake…
I sold high end cars ( BMW, Porsche , Mercedes , Rovers etc.. ) for 25 years but just liked driving muscle cars more .
My Mopars draw way more attention than a Porsche Turbo , G63s , Jag F types , BMW Ms … the new NSX did draw a lot of looks .

I had a friend that had a dealership and his big attention was a 71 challenger in the show room. Great story, thanks for sharing!!
Just adds to an already sweet ride!! The car, the TKX and the dog!! LOL

Yesterday the sun came out after a fourteen day hiatus. Went out to find some 
s. I received just one when going down the main drag.
The weather has been very humid and I wanted to get her up to operating temp and take it around town to dry out any moisture that might have accumulated.
It's been a tough year for car shows, seems to either rain or someone makes other plans for me.

There's a lot to love about your car. The one that I get a kick out of the most is, the look of sleeper. She gets it done! I like it.!Yesterday the sun came out after a fourteen day hiatus. Went out to find some

I'd say both, but then again, how many dogs get to ride in a classic machine like yours. She's a celebrity, you're the driver!! LOL

I went to my friends yearly Moparty. I brought my 71 Challenger convertible. There was a sick 8 second Hemi powered Duster there! There was a sign when you came in that read mandatory burnout,and my Challenger convertible showed them it can still light em up! But the blue modern Challenger one the burnout award!
