Florida Mopar Show

I know it's not ZX-12 stuff, but I can't be the only Mopar fan in this group.

I used to have one of these:

I'd really like one of these:

This car is showroom condition:

Even had the sticker in the window:

Oh the good old days.........

Dang, I would have liked to go. My dad has a '69 Charger 500 (he got it new in 69) and a 440 Superbird that we're restoring.

a fine choice there Dave.

I had a nice non-rusted 71 Duster 340 with a 3.91 gear, dusty blue in color with black graphics that I bought in California for $1700 and drove back here to Ohio. A tank of gas and a quart or two of oil for every stop.

Your Pic #1:
AAR, flat black hood, NACA duct air inlet, 340 6 pack,......98-101mph in the 1/4,....pistol grip. Nice stuff.

I'm kinda partial to the Challenger though, but the Cuda is super sweet too.

Pic #2 - Hemi 'Cuda. Yeah, the KING of muscle cars. LS6 what?

Pic #3 - I've always wondered if these winged puppies really could go close to 200mph with something so simple as an exhaust change.

I went to the Mopar Nationals in Columbus once, an INDY event, and that one that is held over in Pennsylvania every year. Good stuff!

I'll take a 440 6 pack, aftermarket 5 or 6 speed, convertible Challenger with a Dana 60.

Here's a couple of grainy freeze frames from a video in Indy years ago.

I have always wanted a 70 convertible Challenger. Don't know if they made it available with a hemi but that would be my preference. A good friend of mine has one with a 340 shaker hood. I would suspect that one is in my near future!!!

In all these years it is still hard to find a better sounding factory exhaust then that of a big block mopar!!!
