MOPAR COLLECTION

This is my father’s R/T collection plus our only little project truck. A 1970 Charger R/T with 63,000 miles, numbers matching; a first generation 1994 Viper RT/10 with 25,000 miles; a Deep Water Blue Pearl 2009 Challenger R/T with Track Pak options and a 1986 Prostreet Dodge 100 with 440, two fours and lots of goodies.

RUNS LIKE A ROCKET

This is my recently restored 1966 Dodge Charger that I obtained a salvage title on as the owner abandoned the vehicle. I had it stripped down and totally restored. The Charger has a rebuilt 440 with a Performer RPM crankshaft and intake. It has the Dodge 727 automatic transmission, factory front disk brakes, factory air conditioning and cruise control. We installed an Edelbrock 800 CFM carburetor and a Mandrel bend 2 1/2 inch exhaust system with “X” pipe. Ron’s Restoration in Glade, Kan., performed all the restoration and finished the car with a fully restored interior and a Super Jet Black base coat of paint with clear coat finish. The car runs like a rocket but has all the creature comforts of air conditioning and automatic transmission. The vehicle glides along like a super cruiser. Why anyone would abandon this car is a mystery to me— their loss is my reward!

THREE’S COMPANY

I have been a Mopar fan ever since my father worked at the Hamtramck Plant in the late ‘60s early ‘70s. We have since moved to Florida and my father passed away in ‘07, but I have continued to be a fan of Mopars, particularly Chargers. I purchased the ‘69 in 1981. I finished restoring it last year. When I discovered Dodge was making the new Charger with the same red color, I had to have one to match the ‘69. I purchased the ‘07 in late 2007. My daughter owns the ’95 Jeep and is a huge fan of Mopar too.

STILL HAVE MY CAR!

This 1970 Plymouth ‘Cuda was a high school graduation gift from my parents in 1972. In my youth the car was driven hard. As years and miles accumulated the ‘Cuda could no longer be driven and was put in to storage in 1981. I could not part with the vehicle so it sat for 18 years while we raised our family. In 1999, restoration began. For me, all stock and original was the only way to go. This was an arduous 3-year process. After the restoration was complete, my wife, Barb, and I began entering the car in local and regional car shows doing quite well in the trophy department. This has been a 37-year love affair that won’t end anytime soon. For more pictures and history on the car visit www.highimpactperformance.org.

LIGHT ‘EM UP

This is my 2006 Dodge Charger R/T that I’ve owned for a year and love it. I race it at Milan Dragway from time to time and my best time so far is 13.6680 sec at 103.24 mph. I have made the following modifications to the car: removed all side molding and emblems; added custom graphics on the hood, sides, and rear; Daytona grille, chin and rear spoiler; Daytona suspension; modified exhaust system; custom painted interior; custom embroidered head rests; cold air intake; shaker system, painted the original argent from the 1970 cars; and added the pentastar emblem on the lower right front fender.
