Thanks everyone , just finding those pictures brought back a lot of memories from a time when our cars were just that ! Cars , not museum pieces that are only driven on sunny days with no clouds in the sky . I know many of us still drive our E-Bodies during the summer and that's cool , but my passion for these cars came from a time when I used to drive my first 1971 Challenger convertible every day . That means summer, winter , spring and fall . I put 36,000 miles on that car in the 3 years I owned it and in the winter if it was anywhere near 32F , I had the top down and the heater on . It went camping in the mountains on gravel roads and skiing during the winter . If you go to my web site you can see a picture of it with a ski rack mounted on the trunk back in around 1981 .

Right now I'm looking for a 1970 Challenger Conv. with a 6 cyl . I'll build that little 6 like you've never seen before ( Neil and I have a few ideas about this ) and it will sound like nothing you hear at any of the shows . I appreciate the work , time and money that goes into a Big Block Clone , but they are more the rule than the exception now adays . And like my 67 Coronet I'm building right now , it will be a daily driver .
I'd like to hear about any other daily driver E-Bodies out there . I'll bet there are some great stories to be told about non summer driving experiences !!!
Merry Christmas everyone and have a MOPAR NEW YEAR
