I took her out cruisin' last night, down at the oceanfront all shined up and pretty. She was turnin' heads everywhere we went.

Love that car.

P.s. You may have thought my username is about my politics. It's not. That's what I call my Challenger. She's "Deepwater Blue".
370 HP hemi ought to move out.

Only hemi I was ever around was in my buddy's '53 Desoto. Someone had converted it from a 6V positive ground system into a 12V negative ground system by installing a 12V battery hooked up backwards in it.

It had an electric fuel pump and a bad flooding problem. While I was testing it to see if I had the flooding problem fixed, the battery exploded like a stick of dynamite. The case was completely gone and the posts were hanging from the cables.

I finally got it fixed and back on the road. Talk about a learning experience. Kind of an interesting old tub, actually had a factory correct dual point distributor.
