Exactly ! Just how I remember them — strong acceleration – and terrible handling and braking – 8 mpg – and loose steering. However — they set the bar for acceleration that lasted for? 40 years and made them legendary. The other thing — that the tests don’t show — is that we had fun. Dangerous fun — but fun. The fun is what made them the classics they are today.

google the 1971 Plymouth Satellite Sebring Plus. it’s a? really futuristic looking car.

8-10 Mpg!!! ouch. Those? where the days

The? Dodge Charger and especially the Plymouth Satellite Sebring were more futuristic and modern looking than ALL of today’s American car offerings.

The driver is doing a decent? job keeping this sled on the road.

Yes that is cheap, but compared to what Cadillacs cost in 1971 (under $7000 for a sedan de ville) it seems like a lot for a mere Dodge, albeit? a fully loaded one.

About one-third of the typical guy’s yearly salary in 1975. Pretty cheap, by today’s? standard.

Eight? to ten miles per gallon?? LOL
February 8th, 2013 at 1:53 am

I love Chargers, when it corners it looks? like a dying whale on wheels trying frantically to get back to the ocean

It is in damn near perfect condition. One rust spot at? the very bottom the th rear fender no longer than your hand and no wider than 3 fingers. Other than that it is fine aside from some driver seat wear.

and i thought mercedes invented headlight wipers in? the 90,s……
February 8th, 2013 at 3:57 am
5000 dollars for that?? Thats a heck of a lot of money.
February 8th, 2013 at 4:19 am
Yes, you´re right. They had something,? personality.
February 8th, 2013 at 4:47 am
Oh? yeah… back when cars were fun.

Its very important on old cars to use 1% two stroke oil added to the fuel, modern fuel contains ethanol and that? lets corrode the old engine materials? and carb / injection systems, so in Germany all vintage car owners allways add 1% smokefree two stroke oil API TC to the fuel!
February 8th, 2013 at 5:09 am
dont? forget the two stroke oil!

I love the way this guy talks,just says what? he wants and doesn’t worry about how he says it.This was back before Americans starting acting like a bunch of damn pussies,and trying to be everybody’s friend instead of being honest. “…that doesn’t look like it came off a GM drawing board..” LOL “..get the same effect by dragging your foot..” ha ha
