It appears the Challenger will rock.
They will make the Chargers and the fellers that bought one look silly.

Can't help you with Rover experience aside from mentioning that a friend
of
a friend put a 350 in one.
Your "everything old is new again" comment is poignant. I remember not too
long ago that the big old muscle cars were much berated and there was talk
of some Washington legislation that would have them all crushed. Seems
funny
now that one of the most desirable things is new cars that are mock old
cars. The Mustang, Thunderbird, and this Land Criuser, to name a few
attempt
to look just like their predecessors.
I'm greatly disappointed that when Chrysler finally brought back the
Charger, it looks nothing like one, and is in fact ugly. On the other
hand,
have you seen the Challenger concept car?

Based on the 4Runner so bigger than the original I'd think.
I'd surely love to have about an '80 FJ. One downside that springs to
mind
immediately if you regularly haul people is the rear jumpseats.
I saw an article once about putting a later model 4 banger in one in
place
of the low compression, low horsepower I6. They said it had more power
and
much better mileage with the 4.
On a slightly related note theres a '72 Land Cruiser at a local lot which
my wife has fallen in love with. Its in very good shape, I took some time
to
crawl around under it and the frame is solid with good paint. Our Dodge
Dakota is going to need replacing in the next 1-3 years (185k with the
rust
monster encroaching) and I'm into cool vehicles like the cruiser plus my
wife only drives a few miles a day. Anybody got Rover experience?

I spied a vehicle this evening that I didn't know was being made. It
was a
new vehicle, but it had the front end styling of an old Toyota Land
Cruiser
- you know, the type that were small and Jeep-like. I didn't feel like
turning around to pull over and look at it close up. Vintage Land
Cruisers
seem to hold esteem among the list, so I'm sure some of you are aware
of
this new vehicle.
