      In '69 took a used '68 Charger in that gorgeous metallic turquoise color home to my Mom to see if she wanted it, but Dad said too much $$$$... it had white top and white interior! 318, 2 bbl., automatic... $2595... only thing I didn't like was those '68 seats 02:15 that looked like they had been sliced open by a knife...

      actually the opposite is true. cars in the 60's and 70's were worn out by 100k if you were lucky. they rattled, rotted, burned oil and leaked water around the windows, got crappy gas mileage and were death traps. i'm not familiar with the chargers of the era but the camaros, gto's, chevelles, etc were pretty junky after only a few years. they rode and handled pretty poorly and as for performance, todays 6 cylinders would beat a lot of those v8's. but the styling of that era was awesome and you could sleep in the back seat.

Must have been another car in the mix in that car lot. The Corvair served me fairly faithfully for a couple of years when money was hard to come by.

    Brings back a memory 😂😂. Really don’t remember the year but it’s about a Plymouth coupe with 440 and a 4 speed manual. Lady down the street about 62 because she had just retired from the State, bought the Plymouth and ran it at the drag strip on weekends, during the week she worked on the car to make it faster, lady was a kick.😅😅

      The color code for the car is LL1 Medium Dark Turquoise. I have the original build sheets along with all other original paperwork. The only thing that was not kept was the original window sticker.
      It is an original AC car but while driving it when I was 16 in the mid 80's the AC compressor seized while driving throwing sparks everywhere. Had to remove the belts driving the compressor to get it home. The AC unit has been removed since then.

    Thanks for making a nice video here, Dezzy. As I listened to the story of the woman ordering her new car, I was wondering if she might be a gear-head. As the conversation of your questioning continued, sure enough it turned out that she is a gear-head. A sensible gear-head behind the wheel. Another nice part of her story is that she stated of her husband liking the car too. It's a beautiful car, and another that I had admired during my pre-teen youth. And it's hard to really believe in about three and a half years from now, that car will be sixty years old.
