    Great story, but it's a 4,000 lb.14 second car. Likely 13's with slicks, ignition and no mufflers. Not exactly street sweeper even in the early 70's.

      Totally agree with you and Uncle Tony! The Qualls kid is cashing out on the original untouched Challenger and some bullshit street racing story which cannot be proved. I feel sorry for the sucker who bought it for a million dollars. He could of had a restored 70 Hemi Challenger, a 70 Hemi Cuda and a 69 Charger for that money with change left over.

      @@327JohnnySS Curious how there is no mention of the car at all from back in the day. There were several racing magazines that covered street racing. Not one article, not one line, nothing at all about what is actually a stock 4400 lb 14 second car. Just a scam.

    None of the heavy hitters who raced that area in that time period have come forward about this car and it's validity of being a street (racing} legend. My take is sure that car traveled thru the area and peeps saw a cool black Hemi Challenger that came around time to time and vanished so to me that's the legend. Remember the owner was a Cop and if caught street racing he definitely would face stiff disciplinary action or worse.Being a Cop and hanging out there sooner or later someone might recognize him and he could not afford this.

    Remember the Black Ghost from back in the day. Iconic car with lots of stories. Back when Challenger was really a muscle car. It's a true survivor. IMO you can't go wrong with an original Challenger. Thanks for sharing. Be safe and stay well.

      Ive never heard someone talk about the black ghost. Theres a youtube channel called uncle tony's garage and he first hand has inspected the black ghost and says its a bone stock 14 second car which wouldnt have held its own against most of the woodward ave cars. Also the son is a film maker. The story of the car is cool enough but I doubt it was as fast as the story claims.

    Nice story, but that car was and is bone stock, not even headers on it, so it was a 14 second car at best, back then there were cars street racing in Detroit running 10's and the Gapp and Roush car ran 9's , the Black Ghost would have had it's doors blown off by ,alot of the Detroit racers in that era.
