Well guys, now that I've initiated some calm, rational conversation regarding the relative merits of Chevrolet and Chrysler/Dodge, how about some constructive input regarding timing and rules.

As prospective Campaign leader I hereby call an end to the inane rambling that has preceded this post.

Salut, D

...I shouldn't have...

Listen to the music.
They sing about Mercedes, Porche, Little Red Corvette and even Chevy.
But never, ever did I hear a song that mentioned Hemi.

Erikssson.

Also "HemiCuda'"......can't remember the band.....

If you hemi boys need some rust and oil pigments for that realistic Dodge look, I probably have some extra from my armor builds. And don't forget to scrounge around in the spares box for all those extra drivetrain parts to lay around your car. Or if you're going the diorama route, maybe pose it up on the lift...be like home sweet home.

From this premise came the comic song, about a little old lady from Pasadena who had a hot "Super Stock Dodge" a 1964 Dodge Polara or Dodge 330 in her garage. (These vehicles had low production number "Max Wedge" (Maximum Performance Wedge Engine) lightweight race specials built in 1964 for drag racing. These are highly collectible today.) The twist was that unlike in the usual story, this little old lady not only drove the hot car, but was a peerless street racer

No luck on the little old lady, per Wiki (FWIW):

Dodge dropped the original hemi's for the wedge until 1964 when they introduced the 426 Hemi and shut down the Chevy 409's in NHRA.

Wasn't the goat or Garbage Truck Option a Pontiac? I'm guessing the "lil cobra' is a Shelby Mustang. I thought there was a song about a 442 (Olds) and 409 (Chevy). Haven't found a Hemi song, but one of you guys is gonna have to stop building M47 Patton tanks (with a V12 Hemi engine)

GM= pontiac. Probably can't open that can of worms up since that would let in Olds, Buick and Caddy's as well....Damian?

My thoughts were mainly for the powerplant and it's traditional use, so Pontiac would be in for sure. My father always owned Pontiacs. In fact at one stage in my mid-teens we had 4 in various stages of restoration. We had 2 '64 Laurentians, a Bonneville ('67ish I think) and a '67 Parisienne that my father still owns.

Anyway, I'm open to suggestions, what do the masses think ? Do we stick to the car manufacturers or do we broaden the options and go with the powerplant ???

To use just the "motor" would allow anything from T-buckets to GNXs ... to stick with an oem platform{numbers matching} it's be the whole car/make...your show, your call.

Good point, powerplant might be too open. Maybe a compromise, how about we go with the 2 major manufacturers for each type, say Chev and Pontiac for the good guys, and maybe Dodge and Skoda for the dark side ? Thoughts?

and Ford (did they make muscle cars? )

I agree with Hermon (man, did I just type those words ??),

Cheers, D
