Re: 1972 challenger-Petty edition

Sadly, today's hobby is overly focused on the "collectability" of the muscle cars we all know and love. I have to laugh when the idiots who do commentary for the B-J telecasts disparage some car because it's "only" a 440 4-bbl model -- and not the "much more desirable (their words)" 440 6-pack model. Sure, everyone can appreciate the rarity and power of the exotic 440 6-packs and Hemis (and of course, they should be worth more to serious collectors), but really, why should there be ANY negative comment about a more common 440, 383, 340, etc.?

Let the elitists and snobs who treat these cars like fine china go ahead and put them on ice in some museum; I say, go ahead and enjoy the darn things (just be careful and don't wreck them)!
