Got my new Mopar Classic catalog - kinda sad

Yup. These old heaps are way too expensive for the normal kids now. Plus why as a kid would you build one anymore with all the modern muscle out there these days that do everything better then our old junk? Hell a lot of the modern muscle is cheaper then the classic stuff.
So true, you can pick up a 10 year old Challenger, Mustang, Camaro etc reasonable for less than 20 grand, and it is a way better running and handling car, fixing the old stuff up, will run you more than that and you might be driving it in a few years if you started with a project.
