Not enough younger people in this hobby...

Palmetto said
Being an older guy in my 50s, I grew up with muscle cars and have really enjoyed them. The young people today are priced out of the hobby and forced into imports. Rust-bucket muscle cars bring high prices and no 18 year old with a part-time job can even hope to come close to owning one that runs. I really feel for them.

My nephews are coming up on driving age and I would love to bless them with a Duster or Dart to fool around with. Even slant 6 cars are starting to rise in price, especially ones that run and have decent bodies.

Any ideas guys? Do I run up the white flag and let them fall into the arms of the imports for practical reasons, or do I find some creative way to get them into the arms of Ma Mopar? Any ideas?:coffee2:

i agree 100%... a young kid would have to be nuts to get into these rust bucket pigs.

the problem with mopars are that they didn't build **** thats rear drive v-8 all through the 80's and 90's worth having...

maybe you should be happy with them getting into american muscle of the 80's and 90's. the fox body mustangs are still around.. can get into them on the cheap like we used to get mopars back in the day. tons of parts out there for them also, camaros also....and all stock they will run circles around a stock muscle car of the 60's and 70's in the performance,turning,stopping,mpg, reliability and comfort areas... its a different time now.. chrysler said screw you to all their fans after the early 70's so getting them into a mopar will be difficult.. the thing you can hope for though is get them in to american muscle of the 80 or 90's and they can learn on that. then when older maybe they can/will get into 60's and 70's mopars... who knows.. worth a try i guess..
