Via Doug Lanus
No one knew when the Black Ghost might appear, but they certainly knew where. It was the early 1970s, the height of the muscle car era, and if you had a hot car and something to prove, Woodward Avenue and the more secluded back streets of Detroit were the best places to do it.
And nobody did it better than a sinister Hemi-powered 1970 Challenger R/T SE known as the Black Ghost. The nickname seems appropriate, considering the car’s black exterior paint, Gator Grain black vinyl top, and black interior—although the Challenger never stuck around long enough for anyone to see that interior. It had a mysterious penchant for materializing, winning, and then vanishing.

Brock, You hinting at a dark past? ;-)
ReplyDelete:) Maybe,I lived in northern Virginia (Warrenton) and raced them all in my '65 Mustang Hi-Po. I could take the Goats'65 389/325HP but not the 360HP which were too much for my 271HP. My buddy had a '65 Corvette 327/360HP which was too much also. We used to drive each other's cars for fun. Another friend had a 426//425HP which wasn't a problem because it was an auto and he wasn't the best driver in the world.:)Can't remember anymore right now except my carpet smelled like Bourbon. :)
