I still have my 70's Challenger (a '74 redone as a '71 RT) with the 440 ci 6-pack engine. Nothing sounds as good as a big block with a big cam :)

That’s no lie.
Even though a well built straight-piped 289 sounds phenomenal, you can get the same torque or thump that a built big block will produce.
I still remember the sound from my friend Geoff’s all aluminum 427 that he put in a 68 El Camino like it was yesterday. That car ruled the streets in Riverside for years.
I’m glad you still have that Challenger because none of this new stuff will ever be as cool.

I had a '67 Fury III I inherited from my dad. Lots of room under the hood to work on that 383.

May have mentioned this somewhere before, but I owned a Fury III for awhile (my brother and I shared it; '68 383 auto, 4-door, light blue) that we inherited from my great grandma when she passed in '94.

It was in great shape, but burned a bit of oil. My brother was terrible about checking the oil when he got gas, and ran it nearly dry which seized the engine. 🤬 Damn teenagers...
 
Ours was blue as well. My father called it the "Blue Streak". I liked it because the cops drove 'em. Ours was four door, Torque-Flite tranny, 2 barrel carb.

Lasted a lotta miles until a drunk driver t-boned me after dropping a buddy off at his apartment...and the cops couldn't believe that I was chasing the guy who did it on foot in a neighborhood they told me I had no business doing it in.

Went to the scrap yard the next day.

Ours sat in front of the house for awhile, waiting for a new engine (at least that was the plan). Until a collector happened to see it while driving by, and made an offer that couldn't be refused, despite the dead engine (interior and exterior were in excellent condition because it was hardly driven and was garaged it's whole life until that last couple of years).

My parents were going through their divorce at the time, and I was off at college, so I never got a penny out of the sale. 😩 I like to think it was fully restored and is sitting in some showroom collection somewhere...

Congrats!

All this "raising girls" talk is giving me anxiety. 😆

My daughter is 16 months old.......and my wife is pregnant with our second child; also a girl. I'm in big trouble from the sound of it.

The kiddos will be besties and it will be super fun to see.

My two oldest are the same age difference and it was fun to watch them grow together.

Don't know if I've ever mentioned this story


My dad has health issues and usually when he goes to the hospital he's pretty confused

The last time he went in...I was visiting and a male nurse walked in...... my dad started acting strange and awkward..... he told me "shhhhh I'll tell you later".....


The male nurse left and my dad started to act normal again....

I asked "what's wrong?"

My dad replied "that janitor has been asking me if I want a bath all day long"

Once he said that ........ I couldn't stop laughing
