Old mopars never die...they just smell that way.
I swear those cars stink! I had a charger and a coronet.
Had to have a '57 chevy when I was 15, could only afford a nice big 4-door w/327 auto. Could fit 18 of my friends in that car and had room left. I've owned Fords, Pontiac, Chevys, Dodge...settled on AMC AMX.

I think it's generally all the stuff we did in those cars that make them stink!!

You mean like riding around trying to find where the ladies were while drinking a sixer of Piels you got some old drunk to buy? And then stinking up the car with beer farts? Piels farts won't come out of upholstery EVER. Even vinyl. It's like a redneck ambergris. Can we say farts on here? I never read the TOS...I never do.....Anyway. Years later I found out they were all hanging out at a shopping center thinking that we would show up....TO A SHOPPING CENTER.....shoulda guessed that.

I assumed that Redneck Ambagris was like human bull dust...but more solid...and sometimes found stuck to corncobs and betwix pine cones (for the more macho types)....

I found it on a beach in DE. It smells like the inside of a wood shop, nice. I mounted it on black walnut. It is said, that I would mount anything. lol.......Frank
Hay, by the way is that a Hurst shifter in your truck?

I heard it had an earthy smell. Also it is illegal to possess, sell or attempt to sell in the good old U.S of A. Part of the endangered species act. Just found that out. Probably treat you like a criminal if they caught you.

It is technically sold in France. A guy flies into the USA with a bag of cash. He picks it up and flies back on his company jet. That's how it is done. Frank

There are plenty of American companies that openly advertise that they will purchase it. In fact there are numerous cases where people from Hawaii have found and sold it. It's like the lottery to them. Maybe a few years ago you could have gotten away with it...but when the state needs money, the people will pay. Hell, they almost want to give you the death penalty for environmental crimes while letting "repentant" murders back on the streets..... Besides, I wouldn't sell my dog's poop to the French.:laughing7:

You have to remember that they did bankroll us for the Revolutionary War And that is a nice statue in the NY harbor. I am kind of neutral on them. Frank

I like them better than the Brits. Just astounded at the level of deterioration towards despotism.

It was the Spanish that did most of the bankrolling. 8 million Reales.

Hay Dano, to get back on topic, What are you driving? When I was a kid I wanted one of those Citrons with that fantastic hydraulic suspension. What did I wind up with, a 4CV, but I loved that car. It got 40 MPG, could corner like a bear, and was fun to Ralley. Frank 05062v.jpg
