This weekend when I was out and about, I saw something that's seldom glimpsed in the wild: a beautiful 1974 Dodge Charger. The car had been repainted, bumpers re-chromed, and the original interior was in remarkably good shape. As I looked this car over, I started wondering if it could be an everyday driver. Why the hell not? Not only did the old Charger look great but it was equipped with all the modern conveniences: a/c, cruise control, power windows, front disc brakes and a relatively fuel efficient 318 with a two-barrel on top. There was nothing around like it, and the more I looked at all the other cars the more I realized that this may not be such a bad experiment to try in the future.
I mean, aside from the fact that it was 34 years old, there really aren't any drawbacks. Granted you don't have ABS or traction control, but hell, neither does a Viper and that stone-reliable old 318 will probably pull 15-18 mpg with the right gears in the back. Hmm: do any of you drive a classic for a daily ride? I'd be curious to hear about your experiences, so chime in and let us know what it's like to roll old school on a daily basis.
