Seven Mopars That Made History
MSN recently published Muscle Cars: 20 That Made History and I counted seven Mopars on their list: 1956 Chrysler 300B, 1968 Plymouth Road Runner, 1968 Dodge Charger, 1970 AMC Rebel Machine, 1970 Dodge Challenger R/T, 1970 Plymouth Superbird, 2008 Dodge Challenger SRT8. Hmmm, I could probably think of a few more, like the 1968 Hemi Dart, but it’s not a bad start. What do you think?

Surprise Package: a Max Wedge-powered ’57 Chevy
Ok, how’s this for a barn find? A 1957 Chevy Bel Air gasser with a 426 Wax Wedge, B&M Torqueflite transmission, and 8 3/4 Chrysler rear end. The motor was formerly a spare for one of Jerry Stein’s “Teacher’s Pet” cars. The car was drug out of hiding in Pennsylvania back in February–here’s hoping the new owners keep it intact!
