This article feels to recognize Greg Kwiatkowsy, the man responsible for this vehicle being recovered and restored over the last 20 years. My dad was a lead engineer on this car, in Huntsville Alabama, and I grew up hearing stories about the car and his witnessing it on the track. My dad and I personally helped Greg find parts my dad had set aside. I hope future articles will recognize 25 years or more of work on the part of Kwiatkowski to make this dream come true. ...

My dad was an engineer for Chrysler, in the 1960s and 70s. He collected a LOT of nuts and bolts and parts. Over the years we moved from using oil cans with the tops cut off, to baby food jars, to cleaned clear plastic peanut butter jars and rubbermaid tubs. I also have made wooden open-top boxes about a foot square and five inches deep. If I were to invest more, I'd build a wall of cubbyholes sized for the peanut butter jars and I'd buy a large quantity of them in two different sizes. The clear plastic is safer to keep things in than glass. For larger pieces I would use the wooden bins and stack them. ... View more

RE the "ugly" Aztec, Has anyone seen a Nissan Murano convertible? That thing makes an Aztec look beautiful, by comparison. Actually even the non-convertible was butt-ugly.   ... View more

I went to the dealership with cash ready to buy a 2006 Magnum, right after they came out. I still owned a 1979 Magnum (completely different vehicle) and thought it would be cool to have both, plus I love wagons! But when I opened the rear and saw the cargo space I walked away. It did not have a "cargo area" I could use for hauling stuff, it had a trunk, about 14 inches deep and three feet square. It was nothing but a stretched sedan - I think they call them "Shooting Brakes," now.   Also, I owned a Stealth R/T Turbo and regret ever selling that monster! I'd buy a newer one in a minute. Actually maybe I should check the classifieds for a Hennesey modified version! ... View more
