Show & Shine Pics
« on: April 19, 2009 - 10:54:11 PM »
Had a get together at a local Dodge dealership on Saturday.  Some beautiful 09 Challenger R/T's on the lot, but not 6-spds at all.  Had a nice time, but it was a bit cool with the breeze.

71 GA4 Challenger
70 FK5 Charger 500

That 71 Charger R/T is one nice car.  What's amazing it was totalled in a t-bone accidents three years ago and has been brought back from the dead.  You should see the pics from the accident  :scared:

I used to have one. It was an original V-code car. The car was beyond my capabilities, so I sold it to buy my Challenger. Hated to sell it, but it was rough. Original motor and tranny was gone. I do stay in touch with the guy who bought it. I look forward to seeing it back on the road. Do you have the pictures of the accident, I would like to see them. Nice job was done on the car for what it has been through.

No I don't have any pics, but they basically had to cut the front of the car off at the firewall, get a donor car front clip and weld it back together.  The body shop did a fabulous job fixing it back up.  It was an $18K repair and the donor was given to him.  Most people would not of tried to fix a car that badly damaged.  Thank goodness for Mopar lovers  :clapping:

Thanks for sharing those photos with us! :cheers:  That's crazy to think that Charger R/T had been in an accident judging by how nice it looks in just the photo...It's awesome they rebuilt it instead of parting it out. :2thumbs: :cheers:

Check this angle, the blue one's grille looks like it's derived from the 72-74    :smokin:

Thanks for the pics  :cheers: That white 64 brought back some nice memories..............my first Mopar was a 64 midnightblue Sport Fury I bought in the spring of 65, 383 with buckets and console, dual point ignition etc. and at the time I was dating a fine foxy red head. Life was real good back then.  :2thumbs:  :2thumbs:

Best greetings from Roar

Good to see ya on here some more babyelephant, we enjoyed taking you and your wife around Carlisle a couple years ago. But you guys sure had a rough start here in the states, lost luggage and then you wife getting a touch of pink eye. Sure good to hear from you and tell your wife we said hello.  :cheers:  Sorry, I'll have to confess, I've forgotten your names, but forgetting seems to be easier for me anymore.  :roflsmiley:
