Always cool to see a new Mopar in the hood!
The neighbor texted me, “sounds like a lopey cam”, naw not running quite right. 1 hr later sounded better. Still have to check out the location. Makes my soul feel better with another Mopar in area.
Looks like a nice color on it

Cool wheels & tires too
for sharing
I rarely ever see a vintage or muscle car era MoPar here
I rarely see older muscle of any kind driving around here now
I used to see a few cool cars in my neighborhood
(I live in an 80-ish home community, 15+ miles up east from town)
a couple of the car guys have moved out or passed on
one of the neighbors, across the street & 2 houses down Hyde St.
He had a hot-rod semi-flat black 41 Plym. 2 dr Coupe,
tubbed wider tires, nice centerlines
with a 6:71 blown 340 w/headers & big exhaust system,
sounded pretty rowdy, lil rough, but he drove it
& he also had a piss yella' 66 Barracuda with a HiPo 273 4 speed 8-3/4 rear (IIRC)
he never finished, before he moved/transferred out, it was stored outside
the blown coupe was in the garage, with his wife's car
(96 Vett Convertible)
He had an Adventure (?) later 90's 1 ton 4wd Dodge van, loud exhaust
(obnoxiously loud)
nice wheels & tires, lifted, it's his work rig, with a built up 360 Magnum too
my neighbor across the street
when the Dad of the guy lived there Tom & Candy
(His son Tommy lives there now, with his family like 7 cars, mostly newer stuff
his young son Shea was into cars, VWs, Mustangs, Subaru WRX, before
he got into airplanes)
he had a cool 2 tone Pro-street/tubbed 47 Ford 2 dr Coupe
(Bought at Barrette Jackson, Scottsdale)
he did his own touches to it, leather interior new paint etc.,
redid the wiring & engine
(help from Calif. Hot Rods up here)
w/hot 351 Cleveland/C6 man. VB 3k stall, nice sounding solid roller lifter cam,
4 Webbers GT40 manifold, tuned headers etc.
he also had a nice
Convertible 69 396-SS white & black Chevelle, restored perfect
sounded pretty rowdy for stock 375hp 396
other neighbor below me has a 68 cj5 Jeep/Kaiser
'Burnt Orange MoPar colored'
hopped up lil' Dauntless 225 v6 w/headers & 4wd torque cam
I helped guided him to restore
there's a CHP up the street still building it (has a young family, young guy)
that has a old 31 Ford PU, hot lil' 289 & T10 w/9" ford rear w/4 bar & indep. front
never seen it start or move yet, going on like 8 years now
he tinkers a bit
It's Ford or Ram 4x4 truck & Jeep Country up here, mostly
a lot of newer Fords or Rams lifted etc.
I'm sure there's more cars too, I just don't see them when I get out
our founder parade, before Mothers day annually, we'll see a few
A guy a cross the street from me has a bunch of unfinished projects,
mostly multiple Ford Trucks & a Motorhome, snow sleds, trailers, Harley etc.
I call Sanford & Sons, 'Damon' he an ok guy, just too much stuff
stored in a residential setting
We used to have a
burgers & shakes deal (like cars & coffee) at 4-9pm every Friday
when weather permitted, some 20-30 cars would show up,
some from down Murphy way or Angles Camp
& all over the hills upcountry, it started tapering off...
About the time I got really busy with my dad's heart stuff etc.
It was at a burger joint down the hill in Jamestown 25-ish miles,
right on hwy-108 at the 1st stoplight, it has disappeared
or I haven't got the notice where it is
bunch of people have Harley now or Jeeps
our fuel/gas is really bad,
but not bad enough to stop building cars "yet"
