Dan used to be a regular at Don Garlits big Mopar show.

The last I heard he was selling the business including an internship with him staying on to transfer knowledge. That was a few years ago.

We he actually there?


BTW that "Super Bee" has Coronet (possibly 500) trim on the quarter panel. Did you check the VIN?

Yes, he was there and not only gave me a tour, but blessed me with his Mopar history, which began in December 1962. I wish that I wasn't on the clock, or I would've stayed all day. As soon as I showed him pictures of my 1963 440, he opened right up. He admitted that he gets a lot of annoying tire kickers.
I'm sorry, I didn't check out the Super Bee better or check the VIN. I was more interested in the 62-65's. I plan on going back in the very near future to "negotiate" and will get better pics and more details.

As you can see, I parked my Peterbilt on the shoulder of State Hwy 301. I was photoing the Monaco and didn't realize it was in the background.

Took a delivery to Tampa and passed this awesome shop in Waldo, Florida.

Where's Waldo ?,(pun intended)!
I know I have seen the Lawman Car race long ago! Thanks for posting & the memories. I just googled Waldo and found it's only 75 miles from where I am trying to move to in Florida. Chances are I will never make it though because IF my house in Freakin NJ ever sells, I will probably just croak from shock! LOL

I got out of Jersey in 2015. Actually they "taxed" me out. LOL I passed it on HWY 301, which is a major cut through from I-95 to I-75. Not too far from Ocala.

 

[multimopes]

You are lucky you got out. Us in the NW section are screwed. Most all major Industry left years ago, super high taxes and nuthin for your money and no mass transportation to boot. No other B Body guys are near me either, just trees,lol. My wife of 13 + years lives in Palm Coast. Now that Donald has pretty much be-friended Kim Jung Whatever, I doubt I can insult him enough to bomb my house! I'd go to Siberia to get out of here! LOL
By the way, I think the Don Garlits Museum isn't too far from Waldo, I've been there and loved it! Thanks again for the pictures!

Didn't they disband the Police department a couple years ago?

 

[YY1]

It's been a couple years since I've been through there.

There were a couple privately funded billboards on 301 warning drivers.

and every now and then the local news would do a story about it.

any info on the Bee?

It's a 383 car, auto with console. Near perfect black interior. Dan has the 383, said he was going to build it into a bad *** 6pack car for his girlfriend but they broke up. He showed me the Weiand 6pack manifold he was going to use. A 2 piece setup...I was jealous. He told me 10 grand and he would part with it. I'm not sure if that is with or without drivetrain. Sorry I didn't get more info, I was interested in the wagons, mainly. If you are interested, I can find out the details. PM me.
