Good point. There was a LOT of heat coming from the fire.
The never to be forgotten '70s! And may we NEVER see these fashions ever again!

Will ya look at the moose knuckle on Cher, damn!
An old friend of mine used to own a Dodge Shelby Charger. A shadow of the original Dodge Charger. Back then, the Shelby Charger was a decent "performance" car. He planned to keep it forever. THAT ended up to be maybe 5 years. LOL. I have to admit I liked it, at the time. Such was the state of automotive performance back in the '80s.I loved the old GTX's.
Also forgot to post another one up. I always thought the Shelby Charger GLHS was the less desirable of the 80's Shelbys. The Omni was more coveted due to it's lighter weight (2205lb vs 2489lb.)
It's amazing how unassuming they were. Whereas the Shelby Charger had the unique front clip and distinctive stripe and lettering packages, the Omni GLHS just looked like a regular old Omni, which was a pretty uninspiring econocar to begin with.
I almost bought a Shelby Charger, but when I got there it was a total basket case. Rusted out, fuel leaking everywhere, transmission broken, rod knock, turbo needed a rebuild, and the tires had wires sticking out everywhere. It had the Flintstone package- you could see road under the seats, which was pretty handy because your feet were the only thing that could move it. Guy wouldn't budge on price. I got the impression it was a case of "You need to sell that damn eyesore in the driveway!" "I'm trying honey, but no one seems to want to buy it..."
