MOPAR guys. 727 disease. Ever notice there's a lot of auto MOPARS?

Don't know what it is with MOPAR guys, but they don't really seem to know how to shift their own gears. They should change the logo to a rainbow.

I test drove the 6 speed manual with the V8....it was an 2SS convertible....bad ASS car....but...I'm just not in to the convertible thing.

I got the 1SS with the RS kit and the interior components that I wanted....Boston Acoustic sound system and the Hurst short throw shifter....I prefer fabric seats rather than leather...and didn't care about the "supplementary gauges" or HUD that was the included in the 2SS package. All a matter of personal preference, I guess. And I'm with you guys....I don't understand people who buy neutered "muscle cars".....V8.....6 speed manual....or it's NOT a muscle car anymore. LOL

It's funny....had been drooling ovah the car for months....was out on my bike in Old Town and heard a beast sounding rumble at a stop light....dude in a car just like mine looks ovah and says...pull into this QT...I wanna check out your bike..that is bad ass. I was like....for real...I wanna check out your car....IT is bad ass. That was a Thursday night...I was in the dealer making the deal Friday. And I bought it, 101....no lease. Made a pretty fair deal, I think.

They had to go get the car from a dealer in Green Bay, WI....so it added a week to the wait...but...totally worth it. Gonna try to focus on work today rather than all the goodies I want to get for the car....but....probably know how that will end up.

Beautiful car. Would love the opportunity to drive one; I keep trying to talk friends and family into buying one when they say they are looking for a new vehicle.

Nope, wrong, it can't. The vast majority of performance optioned Chevys in 68-72 had Muncies. The majority of performance optioned MOPARs of the period had slush boxes.

The slush boxes didn't dominate the Chevy performance lineup until the later 70s, and by then the performance era was essentially over...a huge number of Turbo 350 Late 75-82 Vettes were two pedal cars.

And why I ultimately didn't pursue the car. After driving smaller more precise cars, it would be a big sloppy car.
