I LOVE MOPARS!! I just had to say that, I almost feel better now. I miss my Barracuda

Hey Leon, do you have any pic's of some cuda's? How's about a GTX?

#2

MOPARS RULE!!!!

440 six pack

I'm not so sure about the 4 door Super Bees / Chargers , but the 6.1 L SRT Hemis are sweet.

Here is a picture of my 70 Challenger R/T. It is a convertable 440 4 speed car, not very many of these versions made at all. It was 17k about 10 years ago when I got it and it has been restored. New top, new paint (frame off) new seats and any other thing that needed it over the years. Never really liked the color, but wanted to keep the color original. Almost time to get her out and drop the top!

#4

Here it is with the top up! I have a 73 cuda (red) that is in my buddies shop now. We look for old Mopars to restore and sell. I put up the money, and he does the work! I help him, but he is the one with the skills!

#5

Ron,
That is one sweet looking ride. Cant wait to see the pics of the red one when its done (or phases of being done).

Hypothedical Question Only........ Would you trade your Mopar(s) for a Grade 1 Waldorf Golden Bock F/T or a Ortiebs Cone or any other rarest of rare Beer cans?

Ron,
That is one sweet ride. I'll trade all of my cans for that!!! Did you get a chance to watch and Barrett Jackson this year?? I can't wait 'til next year!!

After watching the Barrett Jackson auction, it is tempting to see what she would bring. I have had a few very heavy offers, but still holding. I am shocked at what the old muscle cars are bringing price wise now. I would like to get a 67 Camaro like I had in high school. It was stolen in Youngstown, Ohio one night and never saw it again. Notice the "little red barn down in Indiana" in the background. (1980)

Or I would trade for a 70 Trans Am ram air 3. White with the blue stripe. Always wanted one.
And no I probably would not trade for a beercan unless it was to cash it in after holding it a while. I think the car is a much safer investment though! The nice things about the cans is that I can look at them every day whereas the car is covered in storage.

#8

So Rusty Rain Dog wants to know if I have any Mopar Pictures

They dont call me Hemi Hampton for nothing.

I couldnt resist re-using this pic.

#13

Heres what the hood looks like on my other Charger, The 1972 Bengal Charger. This is the only hood like this known to exist. Hood looks like a cross between a 71 Super Bee hood & 72 Rally hood

LEON.

#14

Heres a close up.

#15

Heres a Picture of my buddy's 70 Dodge Super Bee I restored for him. May be the only one known with Green C stripe? LEON.

#16

I did love the Duke's of Hazzard---Especially the real early episodes--God is that a cool car!

#17

If you like Mopars or Cars & Babes here you go, Enjoy. LEON.

#18

My son's first car ride, home from the hospital he was born at, was in a '68 Charger, triple black with a white bumble bee stripe.

Then my camera broke minutes in!! Did not buy anything, as I am broke now too!

#21

I'll take the T/A Challenger,

Can't afford a Superbird.

LEON.

#22

Here's a few I went thru in the last year:
440 Six Pack:

Just waking up from a loooong nap:

Still have this one $7000 and it's yours:

Another one fresh out of a garage in a cruddy neighborhood, cops thought I was there to score drugs:

Sold this to a guy who died before the plates even came in. Guess I gave him a killer deal?:

#23

My convertable Challenger (in pix above) will probably be going on EBAY this weekend. Should be very interesting. It was appraised by KRUSE at the huge KRUSE auction in Auburn Indiana a few months ago, and it was so good, that we will see what the market will bring.

#24

Ron, Post a link here when it goes on ebay, I'd like to watch it. LEON.

#25

Will do Leon. I just finished the listing tonight, and it will go up on sunday night at 10:00pm. I will post the link. I don't think it will meet the reserve, but it will be interesting if it does. Last year in Columbus at the Mopar nationals had a really good offer 70-80 and should have took it. It is one of only 34 made with that combination. Challenger RT 440 4-speed convertable. Only 163 built and 129 were automatics and 34 were 4 speeds. (its original, not a clone)

It looks like it will be listed now on Wed or Thursday. I am checking the transmission to see if it is numbers matching to the car now. (18-23 spline?) I want to make sure the listing is accurate am getting the numbers off it.

#26

If Hemi 4 speed ( & it should be) should be a 18 spline. Do the Engine #'s match? Yeah, Thats a nice car. LEON.

#27

Leon I was reading a Mopar mag from the early '80s that mentioned a pair of St. Louis Blues Barracudas. Ever heard of one? Should fall in the same category as your Bengal Charger and I've heard of a Detroit Red Wings car (factory sunroof RoadRunner?) owned by Gordie Howe.

#28

Yes, I'm familar with the St Louis Blues Cuda. Only made one year in 1970 & only made in one color, White, with blue top & blue interior & had a Blue Decal. YES, Very similar deal as my Bengal Charger. Never heard of that Gordy Howe Red Wings car? LEON.

#29

Leon any chance you can make the WindyCity show Sunday??
I'll bring the '68 Charger if it's not too bad out.
THen we'll head over to the shop and you can see the rest of the toys...

#30

Sounds like fun but not unless I can get my buddy with 71 Pro Street super Bee to go & I doubt it, He has a broken leg. I may be Dumping Sunday? LEON.
