That “gasoline” smell – is it normal??

Hello all,

First let me say how happy I am to be here as it means that I am fortunate enough to be the proud new owner of 73 Challenger!! It has been a while since I owned an iconic muscle car and while I understand that the smell of gasoline is part of the allure I don't recall the scent being as strong on my prior classic vehicles. I have done a cursory inspection and see no signs of leakage or moisture in any of the lines but need to get the car up on a lift for a more thorough inspection. In general looking for advice on what may be the issue or if this is simply the smell of MOPAR muscle! Thanks in advance for your advice!
