@@versansky75 by the way we had 12 Shelby chargers. my idiot brother screwed a customer on a used car. the customer rightfully shot out 5 showroom windows & gouged the hoods on them. the hoods had vinyl applied stripes that had to be peeled off. it was a disaster. what is worse is insurance paid over $20,000 for the windows that my idiot brother stole. when the guy from Chrysler realty was going to shut the store down as for the 10' by 10' windows the holes caused by the b.b.s the windows presented a deadly situation.
@@USAutoLegacy by the way don't forget about the 1978 Lil red express pickup truck. there was a loophole they used to bypass the emission regulations & the c.a.f.e. ( corporate average fuel economy) standards.
@@USAutoLegacy don't forget the aspen r/t. power was anemic but they did have h.d. suspension & brakes. not bad. what I find amusing is how todays hellcats exhaust has a flatulent note.
@@Beebop1982 you should have seen how we did state bids & fleet sales. we had to deliver over 600 omnis all over new York state. they were all light blue. we used to inventory over 200 white diplomat police cars. it was fun when we had to find 12 cars in a sea of white cars. the same went for the omnis. I guess you could call them omni heaven.
the g.l.h.s. was turbocharged, & intercooled. my favorite car was the 1991 caravan with a 4 cylinder turbo 2.2. litre 4 cylinder. mine only had a.t. p.s. & radio. no tinted window, manual windows, cloth seats. i wish they still making them. young people would love them once they tried one.
by the way my mom & dad bought out a bankrupt dealers parts & used car inventory. one of which was a 1969 500 with less than 16,000 miles on it in 1973. we had less than $2,000 in it. & yes it was a 426. like now when the price of gas reaches $12.00 a gallon these cars will become worthless so save your spare change. that is if you can find a hellcat that has not been beaten to death. like this. a we had a 1970 challenger 440 six, my personal favorite was a 1968 Hurst Olds. we had less than $600 in it. we also had a 1971 super bee on the showroom floor. totally stripped. no heater or radio. how many kids got to drive a 426 when they were 13. sure I drove it. from the wash rack to the showroom floor...
@@USAutoLegacy unfortunately we did not collect them. they were just used cars to us. besides when I wanted to keep them my idiot brother called them junk. by the way my mom & dad bought him a ford dealership in 1979 that had been in business over 60 years. he tanked it in less than 18 months. he virtually killed the dodge store. we were #12 in volume in the u.s.a. go figure. we were one of the original direct connection stores. this was obscene. In 1985 dealers went on a national parts locater system. our parts manager was thrilled as a dealership from Ohio bought all of our 5 short blocks off the locator. it turned out they were 4 bolt main bearing 440 short blocks. that dealer picked them up immediately. I believe our cost on them was less than $800 each.
@@USAutoLegacy at the time muscle cars were for the most part unsellable as for the cost of gas & insurance. here we go again. history is repeating itself. I had seen a guy selling pencils holding a sign that said "owner" of a hellcat that cannot pass a gas station without coughing.
