Isn't <span style="font-style: italic">every</span> 71 Hemi Charger a current or former Welborn car? [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/naughty.gif[/img]

Andy, I know there was one in that color in MCR years ago. I think the article even stated that Wellborn's father owned the car first.

I think a RAIV Judge is superior to both. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/headbang.gif[/img] </div></div>

The RAIV Judge is superior in what way? Is it the cheezy decal stickers or the notoriously fragile bottom end of the RAIV 400 Pontiac engine or is it both? RM [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/naughty.gif[/img]

Then let me rephrase it:

The Ram Air IV GTO is superior to both.

Cheezy decal stickers? Guess your not a fan of Road Runners or Super Bees or most other muscle cars. What do YOU own, oh stuck up one? [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/bs.gif[/img]

&quot;One Adam 12, One Adam 12, we have an overreaction on page 3 of this thread.&quot;

The little emoticon on the end of RM's posting identifies this as a sarcastic jab, but all in good FUN. The modern musclecar market obviously prefers the stick on, groovy fun of Judge stripes and emblems, but let's not get too serious here. The Pontiac marketing folks were obviously playing fast and loose when they lifted that moniker from &quot;Laugh-In&quot;, right?
