This is what a Dodge Challenger should look like

Never mind the ones that would explode in the silos or on the trucks, due to deferred maintenance and/or drunken crews.

Not sure. My understanding from the shopkeeper was that they weren't street legal, but it was a while ago so maybe I'm misremembering a detail

All of this, yes.
