[BL1 70 RR]

Hey guys I've been a mopar guy my whole life, first car was a 1970 amc javelin I personally believe 1970 was the best year for muscle cars just my opinion though. I bought my first charger 9 years ago. It's a base 1970 318 but its loaded with options. 2 months later I found another charger, this one is a 1970 charger 500 turned into an r/t top banana yellow with a black vynl top and bumble bee strip. I didn't plan on buying another muscle car until last September when my son was atving in Michigan he saw an orange 1970 plymouth roadrunner that he wouldn't stop talking about how good it looked. I had to see it for myself and it looked fantastic and it was for sale. We bought it the next week and drove it back to mn. Now I'm bored and waiting for winter so my son and I can each drive a car to Midwest mopar in may.

Welcome from another Minnesotan new to the site. Great looking stable you've got there. Hope some of our "Global Warming" backs down soon so we can get on the road. Is the Runner a 383? Lots of interesting & VERY informative info on this site. I'll try look for you in the "Park".

 

[BL1 70 RR]

Yes the charger and roadrunner are both 383 the white charger is a 318

Same my son kept asking to drive my charger home from the show so I let him and as left water droplets began to fall, scariest moment of his life driving that car home as it was pouring down on us. He's a good driver I trust him with the car but it even got me a little nervous

We waited out the first wave of rain in one of the display sheds. Finally left around 2, we live 100 miles south of Farmington. About 40 miles from home it started pouring to the point I couldn't see the road. The 49 year old wipers on the Charger couldn't keep up. Our feet were wet from leaky wiper pivots! (imagine that?)

Ya it's dangerous with these old cars glad ya got home safe. The rain we drove threw wasn't to bad but it was really misty. I heard the weather report for rain so I put rain-x on the windshield it worked incredibly well. We live about 40-50 miles from Farmington
