Sam bought the Charger from Ed a few years ago, and tells us, "This is my first Mopar, but it won't be my last. The car is a real head turner and draws lots of attention. Chrysler did a great job of creating hoopla around their musclecar lineup. Their cars are everything that musclecars are supposed to be: bold looks, great performance, and legendary reputations.
I consider my car a Gentleman Brawler or kind of a wolf in sheep's clothing. With it's regal looking blue color, dressed-up wheels, upscale herringbone interior, and concealed headlamps, this Charger is a sleeper. You might never suspect such an outwardly upscale looking car is such a beast. And that's what I like about it."
