Hehehe, smartass. You know what's really funny to me? I have always held the late 60's, early 70's Mopars in a kind of secret high regard. Very powerful beasts. But they were the last to invest in disc brakes. It was common for a Dodge to have a strong 383 or 440, and 4 wheel drum brakes, up until the late 1970's! I never did understand that. Every car I've owned, except for the '66 Chevelle, had front disc brakes, but I've never owned a vehicle with all wheel disc brakes (except for the '85 VF1000R). Must be cool. I know it's expensive.

Take care
