PANTHER PINK CHALLENGER
Here’s my very rare 1970 Dodge Challenger R/T SE that left the Hamtramck, Mich., assembly plant in late June 1970 as you see it here. It is the only 1970 Challenger 383 4-speed R/T SE in the Chrysler registry with the Panther Pink paint along with the magenta side stripes. We are the 5th owners (purchased the car Feb. 2001) and had a white re-paint over the original Panther Pink paint as the pink paint started showing its age in the early ‘80s.
As of Oct. 1, 2009, we now own a 2010 Dodge Challenger SRT8® in TorRed with all the bells and whistles. It’s a great body style as they were in the early ‘70s.
We own nine (9) Mopars along with one lonely ‘68 Mustang Fastback. Our collection includes two HEMI® cars
(’69 & ’70), ‘71 Dodge 440-6 pack Super Bee (1 of 30 made), ’72 Plymouth Road Runner (purchased in ’74) with 30,000 miles, ‘70 Dodge Coronet R/T, ‘70 Dodge Charger R/T SE and a ‘70 Dodge Charger SE.

SUPERCHARGED DART
This is my custom 1974 Dodge Dart that took six years to complete. It has a 497 cid supercharged big block that delivers 940 hp. The front fenders are from a ‘73 Plymouth Duster and the rear quarters are from a ‘70 Dodge Dart. My goal was to make a one-of-kind Mopar—my next project: 1972 Plymouth Duster.

My 2004 Dodge Neon SRT4 has a Mopar Stage 3 Turbo, 650 injectors, SAFC2 Full 3-inch Billy Boat exhaust, CTI front mount intercooler, IPP painted carbon fiber hood and custom 10-inch racing stripes. I have a best time at the track of 12.33 @ 116 mph and the vehicle delivers 334 whp and 356 wtq on a Mustang Dynamometer.

SUPER MOPAR NUT—AND PROUD OF IT!
My 11-year-old son is a super Mopar nut! He has
been helping me build our 1969 Dodge Charger SE from the ground up—and hopes to drive it when he’s old enough. I said “no problem as long as you do
well in school.” Our cars include my very first car
that I’ve owned for 32 years, a 1966 Dodge Charger
383 dual-quad w/727 B&M automatic and a Dana 60 (4:10 ratio). Next is the 1969 Dodge Charger 440 4-speed w/pistol grip that we’ve attached a real Daytona aluminum wing on the back. Then there’s our 1978 Dodge Li’l Red Express truck w/360 4-bbl and automatic that I restored in the early ‘90s. The newest addition is our unrestored survivor, 1976 Dodge street van w/318 and automatic. The van was in cold storage from 1983–2008, until I was able to buy it. We also own a 1972 Plymouth Satellite Sebring w/318 and
727 automatic. Our only modern car is my wife’s 2005 Chrysler 300 Signature Edition—a super cruiser.

CUSTOM ROAD RUNNER
I recently completed a total restore on this 1969
Plymouth Road Runner—it’s wild!
It has a custom interior and exterior, and a 440 6-bbl that delivers!

‘70 DUSTER
I’m the third owner of this 1970 Plymouth Duster with 82,000 miles. It has a Mopar Performance 360 with several vintage Direct Connection engine dress up pieces and MP drivetrain components. The exterior is repainted with factory Lime Green Poly. It has a Dark Green interior, bench seat and rubber floor mats. The only factory-installed options include: automatic transmission, AM radio, and fold down center arm rest. I believe the car was purchased new in northern Arkansas. Our other Mopars include: 2005 Dodge Ram 3500 w/Cummins, 2007 Dodge Charger, 1974 Dodge Dart Sport w/360, 1970 Plymouth Duster, 1966 Valiant 100 and 2004 Jeep® Wrangler TJ.
