Hell of a '68 HEMI Charger

one of my best friends bought a brand new,and owned a 1970 charger with a 440 wedge engine,
that he purchased and retro fitted a 3 deuce (three two barrel) intake on,
he added long tube headers and he changed the rear gear ratio
to 3.54:1 if I remember correctly, the car would run high 12 seconds on street tires,
and it had a lot of trunk and interior room, it was a car I really liked,
and I often offered to buy it , from him. he eventually had some drunk running a red-light t-bone him,
after begging the insurance company to have it repaired he eventually took a pittance,
(as what they offered even then would not come close to the cost to replace just the drive train,)
his absurdly low pay-out was an insult, after they refused too both let him buy the wreck to salvage the engine,
and drive train,or rebuild the car.
(I got the feeling the insurance estimator wanted to own and salvage the wreck personally)

They do have stunning Good Looks the 1960's & early 1970's Mopars.
All handle terrible.
But they ride nice in a straight line & over crappy roads with good shocks.
 
A friend of mine has a bone stock 68 hemi charger setting in a garage next to my house with less than 10,000 miles in better than perfect condition but he wont do anything with it and to boot he has a 70 Cuda that was converted to a Hemi to drag race back in the day both just collecting dust
