Mr 5 & 50 68 Cuda

[treessavoy]

As usual, since chevy is a major sponsor, them go to commercial break every time a Mopar comes to the block.

But, some things I noticed about the 5 and 50 car: Chrome bumpers, I thought they were fiberglass; rear panel showed dual exhaust cutouts....?; and front fenders had side warning lights on them......on fiberglass....? Highly suspect to me.

i dont watch the show anymore after learning from a real good sourse that most of the totals are ran way up for tv. This show has hurt the chances of any level head pricing of muscle cars

Seriously? It must suck to go through life with that giant Mopar Chip on your shoulder.

Uhh...my Camaro is a 68, but it's black. The 66 Chevy II is hopefully a week away from being red, depending on Dave's schedule. Little boy? OK. Somehow I knew you'd miss the little smiley face winking at you. That means I was giving you ****. As in a joke.

No joking allowed. We are a very sensitive thin skinned bunch of folks who fly hot at the slightest provocation.

I can't imagine why a Mopar guy would have a chip on their shoulder? Things to ponder:

1. Chrysler brought out a 355 Hemi for Indy car back in the mid-1950s. It ran 10 MPH faster than the Offies. Outlawed before it even qualified.
2. 1965. Hemi outlawed by NASCAR. Won too dang much.
3. 1971. Hemi's too dang fast in NASCAR with the wing cars. Limit them to 305 CID when everyone else gets 430 CID.
4. 1972. Hemi basically legislated out of business in NHRA PS and NASCAR. Interestingly that was the same year that Winston started sponsoring both series. Not that I'm paranoid or anything.
5. Vipers kick but in LeMans racing. Won too much and they added weight to make them uncompetitive.
6. Dodge gets back into NASCAR after being absent for many years. The Intrepid body must have been too slick and won too much, so they added a 2" high flat blade across the roof to make them uncompetitive.

#1 Rule for Chrysler - don't win too much or they will shut you down. Chevies can win endlessly and no one cares. Chrysler used to be #3 of the Big Three. #2 tries harder, #3 gets table scraps thrown their way on occassion. We go on even against the head winds. We get used to being treated like a stepchild.
