the 3 things I did that increased my enjoyment of my musclecars, cool shifter, huge hood scoop, and slotted mags with Pro-trac Racing Profile N50s

Found all these yesterday at the Santee annual car show, and it made me happy to remember my Demon, Challenger, and Super Bee. I don't have any of them anymore, but they were great, and brought me along in my enjoyment of Mopar Muscle
My Challenger was a rusty but strong 340 powered '71. http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2006/11/this-was-primer-gray-phase-of-poor-but.html and the mags I had were 10 or 12 inches wide... damn they looked good

AMC made some really cool cars, these examples were at the Orphan Car show in LaJolla a couple weeks ago

 this is the first Mark Donahue edition I've came across

 

the brakes are labeled Safe Command, the shifter is labeled Shift Command... I guess marketing told the designers that everything needed to be labled " - " command

Charger Steve's Wild Rides first car show in Pacific Beach was a huge success! The west end of Garnet was packed

This is the most awesome... check out the video of it rumbling after this link: http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2009/04/my-favorite-metro.html

Looks almost real, but it isn't. Great mock up though, I believe this has a VW bug engine in the back, becuase the shifter is an EMPI

The blue thing on the hood? It's a very early type of bug deflector that works by pushing the wind and bugs to the sides of the car.
