In 1976 I passed on a a Hemi Roadrunner because of the Arab gas embargo. $2500 it was **** box brown with a white interior, 4 speed car. Rear main seal was leaking and the kids oldman wanted off his concrete driveway.

yeah V8s were cheap then. i was a kid but mom was car shopping and she had mentioned a charger, I was like "get the Charger" its funny how when you were a kid in the 70s you knew what a cool car was. Anyway she ended up with a 66 Chevelle with a 283 Power glide. She said the 440 Charger was a gas hog.
