This a little bit of a long story, but hope you enjoy it to some extent. A couple of days ago at work one of the guys was going through Craigslist adds and pulled up a local 1974 Duster project car. Since he knew I liked Mopars, he showed it to me. My heart sort of sank a little as I recognized the car in the pictures. It belongs to my cousin who bought it years ago as a father/son project. Not long after getting the car and tearing it apart, his son started to have diabiliting headaches. They have spent the last 16 years looking for cures, but with little relief. He is mostly house bound and unable to function outside. When I saw the Duster, it made me think that my cousin had given up on getting the car going. I contacted him through his add and we emailed for a little bit, he then told me he had taken care of his Mopar "itch" another way. He then let me know that he had just bought a 2019 Challenger in Plum Crazy Pearl. As many of you know, my Challenger is a purple car as well. He did confess that he felt a little guilty having gone with purple since it was the color of my car, but that was really the only color that he wanted. I'm all right with it of course, and told him not to worry about. He is the closest thing I have to a brother, so how I could be upset. This afternoon he came over to show it to me. To my surprise he threw the keys and told me to drive it. I'll have to say it is a nice ride, it drove well, plus is certainly fun. We talked for quite some time while he looked over the progress on my car. He had not seen it since the paint was done. Anyway, we both snapped a few pictures of each others cars, and even one of them together as the "Twin" Challengers. I have a few years before mine is done, but we agreed to go on drives together when it is finished.
