This year will be odd....

[Red63440]

I have owned MoPars my entire life, first one was a 46 Plymouth coupe and that was in 67! Bought it for $250.00 and drove it for several years until I bought a 65 or 66 Polara 2 dr. ht with a 383. Bought a 66 Plymouth Valiant and dropped a 340 in it with the 727 and an 8.75 and raced that for a few years. Bought a new 71 Challenger with a 318 and drove that for 2 years until I got married and then traded it in on a new Satellite Sebring Plus. Bought a 64 Sports Fury and a 68 Barracuda 383 Formula S and sold them both a few years later during a divorce. I had several others after that including a numbers matching 67 Coronet R/T and my 63 Dodge 440 but I have never had a car in all of those years to take to a show.

This year will be a first and if not for the Monaco 500 this would just be another one of those years....hell, I won't know how to act!:yaayy:

That's great that you finally have a car that can get you excited. Go figure...
What is it about this one?

A- he hasn't had a car that he's been this proud of.
B- he hasn't had a car that he's liked this much.
C- he's becoming more of a show off in his old age.

 

[polara71]

His Monaco is that nice.

 

[Red63440]

I will be honest, the more I drive it the more I like it. In my mind I wanted something hotter, A or B, it didn't matter. I hit a point where it was "all in" and when I took the car up to have the new roof installed it was a comittment. Matt, its all of the above.

 

[detmatt]

That's the way it should be...

this will be the first year (or at least summer) in at least 15 yrs that I haven't had a 'toy' in the form of an antique or sports car to drive during the summer

You can fix that easily. Plenty of nice cars out there.........

 

[mdh157]

not for my tastes. has to be a 68-71 mopar, conv or some other sp interest car and not be a bondo barge and be in my price range. We have some 'close, but no cigar' stuff, but close only count in horsehoes and hand grenades. I had a few that might have worked, but the shipping costs has thrown them out of my reach.

What car are you taking? Challenger?

 

[polara71]

What car are you taking? Challenger?

are you kidding? The Challenger is for the grocery store, only older cars should be at the ACN. Polara, polara, polara,

 

[Stormer]

I know, just looking to spike your blood pressure.

You're bringing all three?

 

[polara71]

No, I dont have the brown one anymore. Sold that to make room in the garage for the Challenger. The convertible will probably make the trip again. I may register the blue 71, my daughter wants to drive it up
