Two classic cars in contention

The Nova is nice, but the Challenger just has "that" look. So much so that starting in 2009 the new Challengers were made to look very much like that one.

Love Classic Cars.

Here are two of my old man's classics.

The SS was repainted from black with white stripes to red with black stripes.

the 454 was removed and replaced with a 502.... it is one smokin car.

The Nova looks pretty nice but at the end of the day you still just have a Nova.

MoPar all the way.

I'm torn. I love the paint on that Nova., considering what I would do with either of those cars I'm really in no place to comment on either.

(But I'd go with the Challenger)

Nova is a mundan grocery getter in my eyes. Challenger is indicative of 'muscle car'.

The one muscle car I ever had was my first one, a used 1970 Mercury Cougar. Had to give it up as this cat enjoyed feasting on my tiny bank account too much. The grill looked cool, but the headlight doors wouldn't stay down giving the car a sleepy look most of the time.

Agreed. Looks like a 71 Torino Cobra knocked up a Camaro and gave birth to a rock star

Great description!

Found what I will get. A 74 Vette Stingray

When I joined the navy my dad spent the money he had already set aside on a '67 Corvette convertible. When I came home I had some great times in that car (my stepmom needed the 'family car', so poor Steve "had to" drive the 'Vette.

)

Now, there's a hardship.

Plus, gas was cheap then.

When a gallon of gas cost twenty-five cents everybody had a lead foot.
