One of my other favorite Mopar's that Ive owned through the years, is a '72 Dodge Demon (340).
My personal favorite along with Mopar's has always been Pontiac. Owned a few nice Firebird's and Trans Am's with the 400s. Had a 1970 or '71 Le Mans with an Olds 455 once, it was hard to keep it from jumping off the road on take off sometimes, lol..
Ive yet to own a Pontiac GTO, (Would love to own a '67 Goat)!

I never understood talking down about one classic to another. I'm a fan of chevy, gmc, ford and all of Mopar. There are just so many desirable cars on every level. The OLDS 455 was a bulletproof block i can appreciate that. The Dodge Demon doesn't get alot of love but they were rather nice cars and had some really nice body lines i can also appreciate.

Lol at the whole fuzzy dice hanging from the mirror comment. As far as the racing stripes that was the going joke at the 1/4 track was putting racing stripes on your ride took a couple secs off your time.
I use to get into the whole Chevy verses ford and all that. After some time though ive just come to love all american muscle has to offer. I hate the biatch rice burner cars that kids fix up now. They remind me of a hummingbird cirlcing a bird feeder or something. Theres nothing even remotley intimidating about their looks or sound. Idgaf if their running 9's in the 1/4 mile their retarded. Regretfully enough I am guilty of having one of these decals on the back glass of an ol chevy hot rod truck I use to have.(high 13's in the 1/4)...which is awesome for a truck thats not tubbed out. At the end where the piss would be landing I had them put the words "Um All" to indicate piss on um all. As opposed to the typical ford,chevy,dodge,etc. Funny enough though whenever stock mustangs or cameros would hop me on the street or rev the motor at a light. It was inevitable that they were going to get a good look at the image on my back glass and then watch it fadin the distance.
Oh btw this is what it had. 350 small block. added hooker headers,3 1/2 flowmaster exaust straight off the headers with two two chamber mufflers..,355 ratio gears (rear end) accel plugs wires with msd ignition, K&n air filter with Edlebrock dish on top of a Holley pro jection (which replaced throttle body injection) bumped my timing up 4 degress or so. Put a performance pulley set on..im a little vague as what brand they were now its been so long. Thats about it as far as the bolt ons on the truck. That thing would fly though for a truck. Then some 295/50 low profile Bf Goodwrench comp ta's on some Weld Draglite wheels to insure traction.
