The Last Forgotten Muscle Cars
 

FYI - Now here is a truly amazing, intriguing and very touching car story that appears in the current March/April issue of HAGERTY Drivers Club magazine, about what arguably IMHO, could and should be considered one of “the last forgotten muscle cars”….

It is the story of a car referred to as “The Black Ghost” – a 1970 Dodge Challenger R/T SE with a 426 Hemi Engine, ordered new in triple black colors by Godfrey Qualls, a decorated U.S. Army paratrooper in the 82nd Airborne, who then became a Green Beret and served in Vietnam, who later became a motorcycle cop, married, then a father, who street raced this car in Detroit in the 1970’s and beat everyone he raced. (Also, there is an interesting sidebar story regarding the Shaker Hood….)
The car has survived and if you click on the link below it will take you to the YouTube video of this compelling story about the car, its owner and its ultimate fate…. Enjoy
