From now on, the 12th of March
2014 will be marked in my memory as the most amazing car day for Jimmy’s
Classic Cars. And that for 2 reasons: the California
Special and the Dodge Charger of
1968! They have arrived, finally !!!
The California
Special arrived in perfect condition
in Belgium. Both the inside and the outside look like pictures from the inside
of a catalogue. Even after starting the 5 liter V8 engine, no unpleasant
surprises happened. The car roars like a lion that has finally been released
from its cage.
Together with the California Special came
the Dodge Charger of 1968. Let’s
face it, the Dodge Charger is an incredible muscle car and a dream for every
car lover to have in there garage. So I bought this rusty looking example as a
challenging project, but it turned out to be a lot less work as I expected.
Even though his exterior doesn’t look ideal, it’s just the paint that has faded
through the years. There were no cuts made and no welding that has been done.
It’s a survivor car in top condition!
On top of all that, it came with a big
block of 6,300 cc V8 power! So this animal isn’t ready to rest in peace at all,
it just needs a face lift and it will be ready again take over the world.
As You can read, the possession of these 2
crazy animals got me to regret that I didn’t start a museum instead of a
restore/selling business.
