One night when I was working as a seasonal ranger in Wind Cave National Park I climbed a hill in back of my cabin to take in the cool and splendor of the evening. As I was watching the buffalo that inhabited the park a '69 RoadRunner in that wonderful hemi orange came thru on the highway. The sound/sight of that car reached clear to my soul and I swore to myself that someday I'd own one. The next year I had saved all my nickels and dime and worked extra jobs and bought a '70. Rarely in life does a man get to touch a dream; mine was the wonderful lime green.

I am from Europe from the Czech Republic and I have '72 Demon in bright red with the black stripes, twinscoop hood snorkel and with white letter Cooper Cobra Radial G/T tires and it feels so good to just cruise around in it among the modern traffic, because it's like a time machine :) Some people were able to experience these cars as new and some half a century later...this is just so crazy how life can be.

Yep it's so true when someone said that only a Mopar can look badass in pink, and is 100% spot on. I think its awesome that they brought back the high impact colors, and look great on the gen3 Challengers to. Unfortunately they cancelled PCP as well as greengo for the 2020 model year, and am really disappointed they did. Although it's not a high-impact color, they also canceled destroyer grey and is one of my faves ☹️

All those colour schemes from the era of the "60's" and "70's" is very American as well extremely unique. Without a doubt American heritage and if I may say even in folklore. America certainly knew and still do know how to make their domestic brand of automobiles look incredibly "Ultra Cool" indeed. Please don't loose that tradition of craftsmanship!!!

Ford stopped making a F150 back in 97 or 98 when their trucks took on a beta look to them. I am a pre 98 Ford guy but after that no. In 2012 I bought a single cab short bed grayish color Ram Express. The first month I took off that crappy air intake box fabricated a curved 4 inch pipe and added the biggest K+N round air filter and also had a body shop matte black the top of the hood and they also made brackets for hood pins ,what a great look. I later put in a Outlaw muffler and it sounds great. I'll take my V8 HEMI over a crappy turbo 6 banger Ford any day of the week.

Curious Yellow/Citron Yella is probably my favorite, but I love them all. Fk5 was a nice copper colour and was supposed to be called "Catch Me Copper" but Chrysler thought it was too anti authority or some such thing. My brother had a Curious Yellow Demon, my Duster was Vitamin C, my 70 Swinger was Catch Me copper, another brother had a Challenger in Catch Me Copper and my good friend had a 70 Charger 500 SE in Sublime. I love them all!!!

Man, us Europeans love all american cars, not just muscle cars and pony cars. Anything old from the US is welcome, because these old american cars have a soul. Cool ride as a Duster is an absolute bomb here :) That's the kinda car that puts a smile on people's faces. I got a '72 Dodge Demon 340 in bright red with all the proper Demon stripes and the twinscoop hood snorkel and people always wave at me and give me thumbs up. The vibrant red color, the long stripes, the Cooper Cobra Radial G/T tires with white letters make it really stand out. Of course that the Demon compared to the big names like a Charger, Stang, Firebird etc. is basically unknown, but it sure as hell gets all the respect, when people see it and hear it on the road :) Seeing a Demon or a Duster half a century later here in Europe is extremely rare and thus people love it. To be honest with you I wouldn't swap my Demon for anything. Ferraris and Lambos are nice, but they ain't a classic muscle/pony car. There's no school like OLDSCHOOL...

I had a 1970 road runner I restored in my garage 25 years ago, I couldn`t paint but I was good with a body board, by hand, 7 months later when I primed and finished the body, I took it to the Macco at the corner and asked if he could paint it Limelight, and stripe the air grabber hood, I had all the dimentions for the hood paint, $1,100 later, my friend came over too cut and buff some orange peel on those monster quarters and doors, and that car looked fantastic, I put the grille and trim back on, replated the bumpers, and never did tell anyone Macco did the paint, that car would turn heads, I threw on Cragars and BFG`s, 3 years later I had to sell it, because of a divorce, only $4,500 was all I could get, still makes me sick today, 50-60k all day today.
