Mopar sightings.

[chargervert]

I saw a nice F3 green 69 GTX with a white vinyl top on the way to work this morning. It had magnum 500 wheels on it. It made my day to see a cool Mopar! Sorry that I didn't get a picture, I was driving. Any other Mopar sightings?

 

[Belvedere408]

That sounds like a beauty. I get excited as can be when I see a mopar around town. Gets me thinking for awhile about it. I saw this charger the other day.

 

[chargervert]

Cool, I always enjoy seeing them out on the road!

 

[chargervert]

I took my 71 Charger R/T to the local park the other day.

I see my fair share here. Especially the old trucks. What’s cool is, they’re not rust buckets, granted, the paint is cooked on a lot of them, but you can’t throw a marshmallow through the door.

I took this 71 Charger SE out for a ride to it's new owner last weekend

Unless you’re at a cruise or show around our area, it’s rare to see one out driving. But it’ll snap my head when I see one. I get too excited probably lol.

We’re down in KY for the week. Whole lot more old steel out driving than I’m used to. I love it.

It’s sad, these cars used to be driven and enjoyed so much. Now all people want to do is wait until a car show or cruise night to take them out.

Man I envy you all who can drive them year round. But unless I can talk the entire family into moving to where I can do that, I choose to stay put and drive them as much as I can in our “seasonal territory”.

I see a few old Mustangs and Chevelles around here, but not a lot of Mopars. I do drive my Charger every chance I get, and have to plan extra time because there's always someone who wants to talk about it in a parking lot. Which is fine, I'm happy to chat.

Oddly enough, my '91 Daytona draws nearly as much attention as the Charger does.

The Drag Week caravan came through my area on Wednesday. Talked to a guy in a '68 Super Bee. Couldn't drive and take pictures at the same time.

Rare up here, in 18 years, since Sept 2005
I'd bet I've only seen like 20-maybe 30 total MoPars
of the muscle car era driving around up here,
some tourists I'm sure too
Other than 'a few' at a show at Ironstone Winery/Murphy's area yearly
or the one in Twain Harte in August (?) annually, you rarely see any...
#1 My 68 RR (& my now vintage 24 y/o & 25 in Nov., my 99 Dakota SLT 4x4)
#2 another member here's Dark Red 69 RR Hemi, & he moved to Texas
#3 another member in Twain Harte killer 64 Dodge/Hemi EFI expert
#4 an old guy upcountry from me, who's now gone (RIP) had a
parked for years was his DD, I drooled over & wanted to buy forever
a 69 Charger 500 440 4 speed Dana-60 car, (my bucket list car)
white with a red tail stripe, black bucket seat interior, no console
#5 one old 36 (ish ?) Plymouth PU, I've seen drive a round once in a bluemoon
alway when I'm supposed to be somewhere, no time to chase & talk with...

Probably more, but stored away in garages out of site...

Lots of Dodge/Ram trucks/4x4s, not very many old ones,
#6 & #7 a couple cool old mid 70's PowerWagons down the street (sitting)
one of them is gone now
Lots of Jeeps/4x4s, Old & New, including my Gladiator Launch Edition Rubicon
#8 A really nice 68 CJ5 225cid Dauntless V6 3 speed OD nextdoor
I helped, tutored, to guide him to restore frame up,
with a few custom touches

I had a neighbor, a couple of years ago, live across & down Hyde st.
a couple houses away, I could hear them more times than I saw them...
#9 Who had a bright yellow 66 Barracuda, he was working on
273 car org., 360 Magnum build, alum heads, Edel. carb & intake, headers etc.
4 speed car with a 727tf, 8-3/4" rear, was sort of a basket case,
it didn't ever drive before he moved...
#10 He had an old 'sort of' Pro-street style, Plymouth Coupe 40' always primer'd,
with a healthy sounding/loud as hell 340 based w/671 Blower 20% underdriven
(I suspect it was a 408-410cid stroker)
It always ran rich as hell, had 2 950 Holley 3bbls VS carbs on top...
I tried to help the guy... (wouldn't listen at all)
Nasty sounding (in a good way, lots of camshaft),
he didn't know much about either car or mechanical **** either,
he had bought them built already...
He had an obnoxiously loud late 90's Dodge Van too...
(he was from the valley/flatlands somewhere)
He was sort of a younger Yuppie guy, sort of clueless too,
type who thought he knew everything, that didn't know ****
& he was attempting to finish them...
I offered my help, if he wanted/needed in ways I could,
I offered tools if need be & he was always too busy, really standoff-ish type...
He didn't live there long, don't know what happened to the cars...

I see a lot of newer Chargers & Challengers or 300s

Yesterday I saw a '69 Charger drive by Black with a red stripe... Second time I seen this car around. Then goin home I saw a beautiful 60 Cadillac convertible red, white interior and white top.

[Runcharger]

Not a Mopar but I've seen a 69 GTO around town the last couple of days. Even seeing an old GM perks me up.

 

[Belvedere408]

Buddy sent me this dart from the restaurant last night. He parked his valiant next to it.

 

[Thrashingcows]

I had a rare sighting a week or so ago, passing north through the small town of Hixon BC in my commercial truck and what do I see coming towards me but a Hemi Orange 70 Superbird!! Didn't see the plate on the car so don't know if it was a local car, or out of province or maybe up/down from the USA?

 

[eldubb440]

I stumbled across a 68 GTX the other day, solid project GG1......... it was under a bunch of crap in the rear of my shop
