Vuil Van Zyl has had his fair share of Muscle cars over the years.
“I have always had a soft spot for vintage cars and one cannot argue with the smooth lines of classic cars. They just don’t build them the way they used to. The cars of today have no soul. Take a look at the rear of a car for arguments sake – hips for days and days. Unfortunately, there is not a lot of thought put into the cars designed today”.
Vuil saw the Charger advertised by Kobus and Sons in Joburg on the internet and has always liked the look of the big hipped B body Chryslers. At the time the car was a little overpriced and the first-generation Chargers are not quite as desirable as the second gen so he scrolled past this particular car. A couple of months later, a friend of his alerted him to the fact that the price had dropped and well... the rest is history. Vuil called the guys up and snatched the Charger up. Soon it was on a truck on its way to Cape Town.
