Water pump blew twice.
Transmission replaced after multiple fixes.
Radiator replaced.
This car is a serious street performer with exotic good looks.
This is my first car and will never sell because I'm hooked on the adrenaline rush its power and speed gives me.
At times an expensive toy, but could be a nice return investment.
How do you have a "semi-automatic" transmission, this isn't a gun.
I think what he means by "Semi-Automatic" is that it has been fitted with a manual valve body in the transmission, meaning you have to manually shift through 1st, 2nd, and drive, as opposed to the tranny shifting automatically. Helps drastically in performance. Best used with a ratchet shifter, or a "quick click" shifter.
My dad bought his 1969 charger r/t back in 84 for 15000, but it is in mint condition. I have to talk him into letting me drive it. and when I do wow. I will pull up to a stop sign beside a nother car and just laugh knowing that I got a hemi under the hood. soo much power that flooring it isn't even needed. the 4 speed tranny has smooth shifting with a nice gear ratio. gas... uhh let me put it this way. when you floor it you can almost see the gas gauge drop. my other buddy has a 73' challenger with a 340. you wouldn't believe the compotition it puts up with my hemi. but around 60mph I leave him in my dust. haha oh ya funny story. some guy pulls up beside me in a 2000 cobra. thinking that he would win. haha well I like the rear end of a charger so I showed him it. I love this car and will never sell it.
The dad whose kid talks him into letting him drive the Charger, might as well be handing the kid a loaded gun with a broken safety. I don't know who's being more reckless and more ignorant. Daddy-o or Junior.
"Semi-automatic" means that if left in drive, the transmission operates as a normal auto trans (although shift points may be higher and shifts quicker). However, you can manually upshift at downshift at any RPM, with no hesitation.
