1971 Charger R/T with air conditioning. Terry W.

My 2015 Challenger R/T shaker a few years ago was in to the dealer because the backup camera had come unplugged and the car is under warranty. Simple job- open trunk lid, remove insulation pad and plug back in. I didn't get a call to come get the car later so I drop in to the dealer. I was told...

I got on my 64 Schwinn Stingray the other day and rode it for a short distance. I don't remember it being so hard to pedal and I don't remember my knee joints hurting so much. Hmm. Lol.

$100? I got ripped off. I paid several times that for a rebuilt 360. LOL Terry W

After I got the 74 Rallye Charger on the road 2 years ago, I let my grandson drive the car to high school as I told him I'd give the car to him when he graduated. He drove it to school for a couple of days, brought it home and parked it in his mom's garage and put the cover on it. I asked what...

I just went out and put air in the tires which were deflated when the bike was hung up in storage about 55 years ago. They held air. I rode it for a short distance and adjusted the handlebars vertical. Here's some more photos. I'm excited to get this bike back on the road. I looked up under the...

I never thought so many Mopar guys were also knowledgeable about Stingray bikes, I haven't seen the smooth whitewall Slik like I have on my bike for sale anywhere. Mine is still in good shape with just the whitewall yellowed some. Here's a couple pictures of it.

I wasn't going to repaint it. I'm going to replace the rusty wheels, worn tires and tubes and go from there. Terry W.

That is a whitewall slick I put on the back around 1966 or 67. That's the original front tire is on it still, as it came with whitewalls, with a whitewall knobby on the back when new. Are you saying get rid of the whitewall tires? The original wider, white seat was uncomfortable to sit on and...

In 2018, I was at MCACN in Chicago and I saw a section where people had restored bikes. That got my interest a little about my old bike which my parents had kept for me and I retrieved many years ago. I didn't realize they bought big money in some instances. The Sting-Ray deluxe was first...

I must confess I haven't always been in to Mopars. In 1964 I owned a 1964 Stingray. Its ID number is D438274 abd was built on April 14, 1964. My parents bought it for me when I was in elementary school and it was the first time I had a new means of transportation, always a hand- me- down before...

Drove to Salt Lake for granddaughter's graduation in our 2015 Challenger Shaker R/T. This car is so quiet and smooth riding compared to my 71 Challengers. When I drive, the car averages about 2 mpg better than when my wife drives. Hmm. A couple of times I glanced over at speedometer and it was...

Replaced the rubber roof on our RV trailer. Conditions were perfect. 70 degrees with a gentle breeze. Oh, and my wife applied the adhesive and rolled out the rubber roofing material while I watched. Terry W.

I also find it hard to believe he forgot it. The only time I carry is when at our cabin in the mountains. Our game cameras pick up cougars within a couple hundred feet of our cabin periodically. The only times I forget I have a loaded gun in the car was when leaving our cabin to drive home...

Enjoyed reading this. We have an old Ariens rider mower that is all metal and does a great job. I just had a friend offer me his 15 year old Cub Cadet rider for free. I wasn't sure I wanted another project but decided to take it on. I mean, a mower for free, how could I resist. It cranks over...

A very good story to read. The car just had to show you it still had it. Terry W.

Reinstalling the dash wiring back into the dash frame on 72 Challenger. Replaced melted/damaged bulkhead box with another one I had. Not running the red and black wires through the bulkhead connection box and doing alternator bypass. For now, I have the black and red wires attached to the same...

I moved two 360 crankshafts from one side of my shop where they have been stored for 20 years to a shelf on the other side of the shop . I can't believe how much weight they've put on in 20 years. It was difficult for the 71 year old me to pick them up and move them. I had to take the rest of...

Got back last night from spending the day at the cabin. Started construction on a storage/shower house building (12' by 8'). Cut some grass. Did some target shooting. Terry W.

I've had the shifter rod fall out twice in the 50 years I've owned my 71 Challenger. The first time was in 1973 after having a transmission shop do some work on it. It bent the rod when I pulled over to the side of the road and it hit a crack. I was able to straighten it out with no damage done...
