You've all been had. I looked this car over at the auction. IT WAS STOCK!!!!! The battery was under the hood still. How can a 14.5 second car "own" the streets in Detroit and become a "legend".
What a scam of a story ... to all you non car people this sounds great but for all us car guys this is a bone stock well optioned hemi car .... maybe a high 14second quarter mile car but definitely not a Legendary street racer from that Era
A stock Hemi Challenger is a fun car to drive, but its a high 13 second car on a good day, and a low 14 second car on an average day - not exactly proper material for a street fighter at a time when there were legit 10 and 11 second street racers in the area. The story includes having a friend ride along during the races and telling Mr. Qualls when to shift. Supposedly the car has some imaginary mystery modification - that no one can identify because it is stone stock. God blessed the Qualls family with a million dollars at auction - due to the slickest auction muscle car advertising campaign ever: the son is a film maker who created some excitement around the car and managed to get the Black Ghost into numerous feature videos. 100% of Hemi Cudas and Challengers did some street racing, and they often got beat. In the '70's when I went to the street races in Los Angeles the Hemi cars were regarded as cars that worked best on a track with slicks. Yes, there were some solid Hemi street racers, not a bunch, but victory often went to lighter small block cars with deep gears - especially when running the street tires that were available at the time. I still like the Black Ghost, but can we please stop the charade that it dominated the streets.
@@UcantBeSerious03 I watched the Black Ghost video with the son repeating that the father told him "Don't give my fn car away!" UT's video was just the icing on top of the bubble bursting that a completely stock Hemi Challenger dominated the streets. When I went to the street races in Los Angeles in the 1970's there were some strong running Hemis like BW's Daytona, but on the streets it seemed like anything with an L88 was the more likely victor.
We are witnessing the pinnacle of overhyped. Sure, it's a well optioned Challenger... But that's it. Selling for over $1 million and the BS story is so over the top. I'm so tired of the lies and "rare one of a kind" BS. And the cringe in this video is over the top. Everyone profits on this car except the gentleman who's name is being used for $$$...sad
lol, 14 second car back in its day. prolly high 14 or low 15 now. prove it otherwise. Every car has a story, it's just how you dress up the story. the buyer got suckered. son, dodge, mecum, new owner are all in on the scam for the next car movie.
The car legally belongs to the son, it will probably sell at auction in the seven figures, life changing money for him and his family, and is nobody’s business except for himself and his family ..
@@ImForwardlook theres literally a 40 minute documentary about the story of the car complete with pictures from the 70s and 80s some of which show the original owner (Godfrey Qualls) with the car so the story about the car isnt a lie. Heres proof if you dont believe me ruclips.net/video/Jd0io1zktqI/видео.html
I have a Black 2011 R/T , because of this car . Love it ! I saw a previous video about the Black Ghost before getting mine. One day I pulled int o my local repair shop for my other beater car to get some work done and there it sat for sale. I was stunned, it was beautiful , I bought it !
@@ibrahim92002 nah, not in the days when the real guys had cars confirmed running in the 10's. This thing didn't even have headers. Slicks aren't making up that kind of power difference, since any real street racer is already running on slicks anyway.

@@leemp337 AND the dude says that he rode passenger and told him when to shift? Wtf is that? Gonna add another 200 pounds to your passenger seat because you cant read a tach? Cmon bro how does anyone believe this story haha
A lot of hype for an above average, and pretty rare, car. A Hemi Challenger is fast, but not unbeatable. The son embellished the story all the way to a million dollar pay off at auction. I hope he can sleep nights. I couldn't do business that way.
If this car was a legend like you guys say then Super Shops , Jegs , Summit and all the speed shops in Detroit woulda closed their doors because stock cars are insanely fast like that Hemi Challenger😂 No need to buy go fast stuff .. Slicks ? what reason would that car need slicks ? Truly the guys who used to street race with hidden nitrous kits were more legendary then this ..
Completely fraudulent. Good job of selling it but this never happened. That car wouldn't have been close to the fastest cars on Woodward Ave in the 70s.
Yeah, there were mighty mouse cars laying down ass beatings to worked hemis in the 70s a stock one forget about it. Don’t ever let a lie get in the way of a good story though right?
This could be the biggest hoax of muscle car history. Sad really. Lets say the car was kind of a legend in the fathers mind but not truly that fast, given its rarity and that it had been in the family since new, the son is a jerk for selling it and not honouring what his father (maybe) said about not selling it.
Beautiful story. Glad to see it stay in the family. Hope you never sell it, but if you do, it will no doubt go for a RIDICULOUS amount. I would even say as high as 4.
The car was born and raised in the Motor City the proof is there if you like it or not can’t deny that..stop the negativity and enjoy a part of automotive history that cant replicated ever again
Don’t sell it. Keep it in the family, it special to his dad n passed it to his son n said don’t sell my f…..g car. He wants it in the family. More than a car
Sadly soon all combustion cars and trucks including classics will be banned from public streets in entire EU and Scandinavia :-( In Germany the Green Peoples Party gave order to shorten fuel supply from 2025 on by reducing all conventional fuel stations to only one state operated central gas station per city or county. Car washs will be forbidden too because they are climate killers, now they want to slow down all the gas station pumps from 20 litre per minute to 2 litre per minute...From 2027 on in the EU certain car spare parts will be banned too....as exhaust systems, turbo chargers and even some engine and gearbox oils...California and New York will do the same from 2027 on.... So no investments should be done in oil burning cars any longer....They even created a new kind of crime here, called emissions and smoke crime.!!! (BABVVEN & TEBBVEN & BEFVO laws)!

Totally correct in your assessment.
Your Dad and son must be thrilled you kept your promise.
Dont sell my fckg car. Sorry dad but i hyped it enough to find a million dollar sucker. Thanks.
the greatest grift ever.
The dad didn't say not to sell the car - he said don't give it away. The dad was asking $80,000 in the 1980's.

@DucknCoverin how do you know there was 10 second cars roaming Woodward in the 70s were you there?
I watched a full length movie about a time traveling DeLorean. That’s gotta be true too!
Scam, car is bone stock it could not hang with built cars that were actually on the street in the day.

Being a subscriber of AMERICAN CLASSICS since issue #1, it’s only now that I discovered your YT channel. 😮 More videos please.
I saw this car at World of Wheels near Chicago. Was neat.
Laughable😂😂😂😂😂😂
We're coming to buy it in May.
SUCKER, oops I meant SUCKA! Cars worth about 40k, make sure you purchase the car not the imaginary fantasy story!
I've been living in Detroit on my life my dad told me about this car I was a kid this is one of my favorite Detroit stories
Did he tell you about Mr DeLorean‘s DMC and it being capable of time travel too?
Literally said it's selling at mecum

Isn't he selling it at Mecum or is it just being displayed? 🤔🤷♀
I think so, that’s what I’m reading about
Can we get in contact with the owner so I can have him do a run video and hear him talk about the car
Someone please make a movie about this car.
Imagine the guy seeing the new EV
Beautiful story. Glad to see it stay in the family. Hope you never sell it, but if you do, it will no doubt go for a RIDICULOUS amount. I would even say as high as 4.
