When I think of classic muscle cars, Mopar is the first thing that comes to mind. The Charger and Cuda are iconic muscle cars.

Posted by dmostz (Member # 11760) on :

Anything that has sexy lines, is loud, turns heads and came before 1974. Mopar is my number one as well, but thats the way my family is. AMC, Ford, Chevy, Dodge, Chrysler, Plymouth, Pontiac, and many others had cars that deff foot the bill!

92 fobra - white i'm guessing? same clean one that's been on the board for a while now? i'd hope you could pull more than 5k for it, but as always it's a buyer's market
