When the muscle car era was in full swing, I wouldn't even be conceived for another 10 years.
I grew up with euro cars, and only heard about musclecars through stories my dad told me about the 442's he had.
I discovered more about them in middle school, while reading Hot Rod, Car Craft, and building models.
But it wasn't until last Spring when I finally bought my own, a 1974 Rallye Red on black Plymouth Duster 318.
I did quite a bit of work on it, and the whole time couldn't stop wondering what it would have been like to drive that car when new, being able to check off option boxes, and wait for it to be unloaded at the dealer.
Now I get the chance to experience the muscle car era as a relatively young guy (26) with the means to actually buy a brand new one, exactly the way I want it.
I'm very excited.
