    Nice, so what does your emblem mean?

    Which emblem? the 345?

    345 cubic inches is roughly the size of the 5.7 liter

    or the hood and steering wheel emblem?

    It is called the "Fratzog". It was the emblem used by Dodge from 1962-1976. The "Pentastar" was used by Chrysler and on cars of the muscle era a small pentastar emblem was placed on the curbside (passenger) fender to denote that the car had a V8

    Yea, the hood and steering wheel emblem. Did you have it custom made or took it off a older model?

    I had them made by Nate at ReBadge. He also did the Scat Pack bees. The quarter window bees are one-off with purple accenting. The steering wheel badge is also a one-off.

    I bought this in May. It was one of the last few PCP 6-speeds left unsold.

    Yes, I sold the '72. A dealer in Sweden offered me ridiculous money. I couldn't say no.......but I should have

    Oh, if we only had some of the cars we sold or didn't buy because they were "not worth the money". I can think of 6 that stand out. I didn't purchase a '63 Corvette split window because $2000 was too much for the car. Or a 1969 Yenko Nova (not a Duece) for $12000 because that price was stupid high. Both are 6 digit cars now with the 427 Nova being over $500K. Doh!!

    I even turned down my ultimate dream car once, a 1969 Hurst S/C Rambler.....for $6500...mint.

    I sold a 1963 Impala Coupe for $2000. A 1971 Torino for $10. and the '72 Challenger for $17,000+

    Over the past 30 years, I would bet that I have not purchased 3-4 dozen cars that are now too expensive to afford. You know what they say...if we only knew then what we know now..

    Woulda coulda shoulda. No need to think about that now. Who would have known that these cars would be highly collectable now. Just think, 30 years from now, the car you are driving now could be. :shrug:
