Also on my bucket list a PCP '70 Challenger R/T with the Shaker hood.

I saw one of these on the road last summer, but it was a 440 rather than the 426 Hemi. The Challengers were always tough looking cars.

1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS 454

 

Isn't this the model they used for the Dukes of Hazard's car??

No. They used a 1969 Dodge Charger

The place that built the Chargers for the movie isn't far from my house. They have about a dozen 69 Chargers in their lot still.

Now we're talking! My first car was a 1968 Camaro RS/SS 396. I loved that car, even though I was always having to fix things on it. Mine looked like this our of the factory, but by the time I got it (1981) it was white instead of yellow:

My second car was a new 1986 Camaro IROC Z28, blue with t-tops, like this one:

The first Hemi. The 1955 Chrysler C-300.

The 1969 Camaro ZL1. 500 hp (stock!) aluminum black 427. This would turn an 11 second 1/4 mile on slicks.

Less than 100 were made, and if you happened to own one of the survivors, you could get over $300,000 for your $7,200 investment.
