With the recent talk about IBM cards and decoding them I thought I'd share what I have learned This is an example of a card with punches representing Numbers and punches representing Letters I do not know if there is an official label for the first two rows I just labeled them A & B In this...

In 2010 I met Ron Hurwitz when I was still working on making a clone CHP 69 Polara. At that time he told me that the plan was to someday donate his car to the CHP Museum. Through the years he had received offers and had people question him, Ron isn't a person with money and could use money from...

A friend of mine was selling his 67 Barracuda convertible, it was a deal I couldn't pass up. It is a slant 6. My Copper fastback on the driveway, his in the garage (my garage). All three at a recent show. Alan

This picture has been floating around the internet for a little while now. It is labeled 1957 Sears Parking Lot Show in Lynnwood. Right away the Rod and Custom Dream Truck caught my eye then I realized that the show has other customs. The show was 2-1/2 miles from my dads house and he was a big...

Not something you see often as Chrysler doesn't have them, so unless you find one in the car you are not likely to see one. This one is to a 1969 Polara 500 convertible with the HP440 (not mine) This card is labeled LOCATOR, not sure if there were different cards. This card doesn't include...

Recently I was informed of a mutual acquaintance passing, he was a member here although quiet. Derek (Limey) had a CHP 1969 Polara (original bodyside molding has been put on) I have not heard what is happening with the car, the family has contacted my friend on what he felt the car was...

My 1969 Polara 500 is a Dealer Demonstrator, so what exactly is that? Alan

It appears that MyMopar no longer has Part Book or Service book downloads, I couldn't find them. Alan

Every year people start putting their car in hibernation for the winter. I don't see how they do it. As it is I find it hard justifying having a car that I get out 4 or 5 times a year (not counting a quick around the block just to fire it up). When I had the idea of owning a restored CHP car...

I'm looking to plan another trip to Europe for next year, I have some ideas but thought it might be fun to go to a big car show. So what are the big events, doesn't necessarily need to be Mopar or American cars. Anything from Norway to Italy, I'm pretty open. I'm a casual tourist, like to get...

December 1966 my grandfather purchased my Barracuda new a few days before his 56th birthday. I have always questioned the purchased date as I have two different references for it. First is the original owners manual showing December 8, 1966 Next is the original Certicard showing December...

This is a project that in one form or another has taken 20 years. When I first moved into this house I didn't like the fireplace and how it had a useless pass through on one side. Years ago I started by adding the soffit/bulkhead/ceiling section as I was going to build cabinets in the space. The...

Vacation time and for me that means Road Trip! In the past I have taken my truck or rented a car, this trip it will be with the Barracuda. So stay tuned and I’ll post updates from the road, no itinerary is being posted to keep it interesting. Day One: 1:05 PM - 280 miles Loaded ready to go...

I'm panning my next road trip and I'm looking at going from Flagstaff to Denver leaving Denver west on I-70 to I-15 It looks like there are two basic options... A. Stay on I-40 to Albuquerque and head north from there. B. Head north from Flagstaff to I-70 and east into Denver Either way my...

Many of us are use to shipping larger items and may be willing to help others out. Often I see items on eBay that say local pickup only, some sellers are open to shipping others not. We have a network of people here that may be willing to help out, I'd be willing to drive a reasonable distance...

I ran across this from my collection (not for sale). This has the Chrysler name and Pentastar on the left and labeled Dealer Identification unlike my original 67 card with the name and logo on the right with the CERTICARD label on the left. Also a roll of the special clear Dymo tape with the...

When I first moved into this house all my Grandfathers stuff was still here, these two tool boxes in particular. The problem was my father took my grandfathers keys immediately and if you knew my father presumably to never be seen again for a variety of different reasons. When my father passed...

I figured between 1960 and 1964 Thanks, Alan

As mentioned in a previous post my Father accumulated a mast amount of diecast cars. As much as I wanted to look at every one I new I wouldn't get half them boxed up (we are under the clock getting this house cleared). As it was it took us (3 people) 11 hours and that was just the diecast and we...

Last year my father passed away and left us with is collection (hoard). He accumulated a massive amount of plastic model kits and diecast cars dating back into the 50's. Realistically speaking 90% of them are less than 30 years old. It took us a good part of a year (one day a week) to just...
