    RN>>> I saw a Charger in a movie a few years ago and it looked and   
    RN>>> sounded good.   
      
    RW>>> Was that with Steve McQueen's Mudstain too?   
      
    RN>> Nope!  This was the movie Blind Horizon, with Val Kilmer, Neve   
    RN>> Campbell, Sam Shepard, Amy Smart and special guest star Faye   
    RN>> Dunaway.   
      
    RW>> Ahhh. That movie was like watching someone put together a 5000   
    RW>> piece puzzle. Boring.   
      
    RN> But I liked it.

    RN>>> I had no difficulty identifying it because of the bumble bee   
    RN>>> stripe on the rear end.  Sometime later on, I saw one for sale for   
    RN>>> $125k.

   I replaced the 265 with a 327 around 1964...stock to mildly modified 283s   
   (57s) were surprised when they were left in the dust.
