I've seen plenty of pics of Mopars At The Strip, but none from any of the caravans, so I guess it's up to me. Before I get to the pics, if you have never been part of a caravan to a major Mopar show you really need to experience it. Seeing the cars at a show is cool, but seeing them all together on the road is absolute heaven. The first time I went to the Mopar Nats I was in a cab going from the airport to my hotel when I saw a pack of 5 AAR Cudas going the other way on the freeway. Later, heading for the burnout contest, a group of at least 10 Superbirds came by. Unreal.
OK, enough of that. Here is just a SMALL sampling (there were more than 50 cars) of the cars that went together from Phoenix to Vegas.
1971 Super Bee that came down from Colorado and hooked up with us. The owner also brought his 2006 Torred Charger Daytona. When I looked in the rear view mirror I thought this would be a good picture. Please take note Brand X owners, that air grabber hood popped open is not a good omen for you!
This was an interesting 70 Road Runner. The mod top is not original, it is a vinyl applique like the Nascars and NHRA fuuny cars use now.
This Charger came all the way from Montana to meet up with the Phoenix crew.
Vitamin-C TA Challenger. Suprisingly, this was one of the few trans-am cars I saw all weekend.
Cool plate on this Road Runner.
For those of you in cold climates not feeling well, here's a double shot of Vitamin-C (70 Road Runner & TA Challenger)and some sunshine:
Another cool plate:
Stopping for gas in Kingman, AZ:
I think this guy used to own an autumn bronze 71 Cuda. Must have sold it and transferred the plate to this 70 Cuda. Confusing, but it's a plum crazy purple Cuda so I'll let it slide:
Hotel for the weekend; $300. Gas from Phoenix to Vegas and back; $125. Taking pics of a 1971 Bee from a 2007 Bee; priceless. Side view of that Air Grabber/Ramcharger hood in action:
Here's a car you don't see every day, a 1970 Coronet convertible. If you look closely you can see them taking a picture of us as I'm taking the picture of them. Who says the old Mopar crowd doesn't like the new stuff, and vise-versa?
Not sure what the story was on this rolling Flowmaster billboard Daytona:
Super Bee, Dart, and Cuda convertible reaching the top of the hill just before the Hoover Dam:
Cuda and Dart driving down into Hoover Dam:
Here's a photo op you don't get every day. One of only 38 1970 440-6 pack Challenger convertibles built, and its plum crazy purple with a white interior. Oh yeah, its being followed by a Rumble Bee and a 1969 Barracuda convertible that came all the way from Canada to join us. Oh yeah, we're also at the Hoover Dam. Can't get that shot at a car show:
For those of you who missed it, we'll be doing it again next year.
