Hello all,

Been looking around this site for a few weeks and figure it is time to jump in with both feet. Never knew it was around until recently....

I've been a Mopar nut for my life and bought my first car in 1990 - 1969 Dodge Charger RT. Since then I've had mostly B-Bodies and have been know to pick up a A or E body mainly to make a few dollars.

Here are some of my cars I've owned and have now-

1969 Dodge Charger RT - purchased in 1990, sold in 1998. Been around the Chicagoland area from owner to owner. Saw it a couple years ago at a Chicagoland Mopar event.

1970 Dodge Charger RT - purchased in 1998, sold in 2002. CA car with 40k on the clock. Real clean car but wasn't my dream car. All original green on green on green.

1970 Dodge Charger RT 4 speed plum crazy. Plum crazy, numbers matching, original metal, glass. Restored it back to original. Still own.

1968 Dodge Coronet RT Rag. Still working on it, but have been driving it this year. Owned for 5 years and never really drove it due to restoration and electrical/charging/cooling issues.

1968 Dodge Charger 383 resto mod. First car I made how I want it. It is a rare car being a 383 4 barrel, 4 speed with air, but I kept all the parts for when I bring it back to original. I brought it on the Hot Rod Power Tour this year and had a blast. It's been sitting ever since due to my time working on the Coronet. If your a member on the Dodge Charger forums, here is the link to the restoration.

Also have owned-
1970 Challenger - hacked up so just bought and sold to fund other project.
1973 Challenger - rusted out to a point it would have taken too much $$ to restore. Bought and sold made a little money to fund other projects.
1968 Dodge Dart GT Rag - awesome car. Traded it for my 68.
1972 Challenger - This was next for a restoration, but had to sell due to funding my 68.

Needless to say I'm a B-Body man!!

Here's a picture of my cars I have now-

Welcome Mike. I'm Pete and I chase things that go Meep Meep! I grew up in Chicago. My first car in 1978 was a '68 Charger. I know how hard it is to find clean Mopars out there! Yours look awesome!

It's too damn addicting!

I need some support from you guys because I'm sinking into my yearly depression that it's getting cold and the cars have to go into storage. I'm really getting sick of this and told the wife "it's time to move south". I went to a local cruise spot last Friday and 80% of people, it seems like, have put there car in storage. This cruise will bring out an average of 400 - 500 cars, and there were maybe 100. I usually put the covers on around November 1st..... IT SUCKS!
