Default Re: Why do you run what you run?

I also run my Z24, because I can't yet afford the cars I want to race...a '63-65 Plymouth Belvedere or Savoy--especially after being a fan of Steve Bagwells SS/BA & SS/CA Belvedere's & I'll never forget (nor stop watching), the Turbo action video from the mid-90's that featured his Savoy racing a 4spd Thunder Bolt in a qualifying run at the Southern Nationals, back in 1992...that was the sweetest profile shot of his car in action I've seen, since the final round shot from the now defunct Cajun Nationals from the 80's that he r.u.'d in. On the Dodge side of the ladder would be the '65 Dodge Coronet, that I also wanted due to guys such as Bob Marshalls "DODGE MATERIAL", and I'll never forget Dennis Mauers blue & white (both of them SS/BA, or I liked to say "SS/BADD"!!!). Thanks to the Barrett Jackson Auto Auction (recently held here in Scottsdale, Az.), and the former football player, turned pro wrestler "Bill Goldberg", I was able to find out that just to have one of them to cruise with mandates $75,000!!!

All of the above are surely worth every dime, but too much for my wallet...lol. I thus won't even try to touch my other favorite Mopars (with big-block hemi's)...that being the '68 Dodge Dart (thanks John Friel & Sid Bonnecarrere)! Maybe someday I'll either find a 4dr Belvedere with a 318, or a Dart/Valiant with a 273 or a 318 that I could afford...Hey, I'd like to have a second car to race too!!! LOL
