Cruising my 68 through San Francisco

[36 Dodge Brothers]

Saturday was such a beautiful day in San Francisco that I was compelled to take out the Charger and enjoy the day. I know the video is long but please check it out and enjoy.

Most enjoyable. Brought back memories of a great time spent in San Francisco as well.   Thanks for sharing.   

[Ghoste]

I like it!  (I need to educate myself on posting video)

[TPR]

Watched every second of it. Haven't been to San Fran yet, so it was a great way to get a sight-seeing tour.
GoPro I presume???

[chargerboy69]

Great video. . thanks for posting.  Some really cool homes there towards the end.

I have been to California a few times, but never to the land of Pelosi. . I need to make it over there for a visit.

[RIDELIKEHELL]

Very Cool!

[charge69]

Loved the video and you have a great looking and sounding Charger!  What type of camera did you use and what was the mounting system?  Thanks!

Yes it was a GoPro.

It is a GoPro Hero2 with a car mount. I also run about 20' of cable to the mic so I can tuck the microphone under the rear bumper and get that nice sound.

[charge69]

I really like the results you get with that camera and mounting system.  Thanks!

Too Bad you didn't run into that 68 FB 'stang,that was cruising our city this past weekend, the 45th anniv. of the filming "Bullit" ....woulda liked to have seen that one refilmed,heh-heh. nice cruise tho', all my favorite places..   

[freddyd02]

Awesome video! Were you nervous pulling up beside those Muni buses? Next time you do it shoot me a message and ill bring the 69. I live in Petaluma about an hour north of the city. 

[VegasCharger]

Sweet ride, beautiful day, beautiful city and great video!!!!!!!!!

Sweet ride, beautiful day, beautiful city and great video!!!!!!!!!

everything said! 

[OldGuy]

What cam and cam specs are you running in your Charger?   Sounds a lot like mine.

[68CoronetRT]

Nice video! Did you start out on the "1"?

Glad to see a video with someone that isnt afraid to drive their car a little. What cam are you running?

[hemi68charger]

   Great looking car...........

[BB1]

Makes me want a Charger again.

I grew up driving next to the MUNI buses so no I was not nervous. If we have the Charger meet at Treasure Island this year maybe we can take a cruise through the city after.

[36 Dodge Brothers]

Just running a mild Purple .484 lift cam, manual valve body, 3000 stall and a 3:55 Dana.

Nice video! Did you start out on the "1"?

Yes I started on highway 1 but in Pacifica.

I wish I would have known about it earlier but I didn't find out until one of my friends was at City Hall posting pics of the event on Facebook. He said only one Charger was at the event but about 45 Mustangs showed up. Maybe next year we can even those numbers!

[mopartybob]

WHEN is the Charger meet at Treasure Island??? I'd like to meet up wit youz guyz, is this a club run,or what? I'm expecting my Charger to be here in Aug. Been in storage since 01, in Belfair WA. but was put away pickled.. and de-pickled..so to speak, so it's ready 2 roll, off the trailer. Hopefully, we'll meet up..  cheers   

[WHITE AND RED 69]

Sweet video! Car sounds awesome

Is there any talk of a cruise? if so, count me in.   

[NYCMille]

I'd be up for this as well... I'm in the East Bay.

[tan top]

       awesome stuff , thanks for the Cruse 

[Dans 68]

Nice, Marco.    Makes me want to go out and fire mine up.... 

Did you get the temperature gremlins fixed?

Lets plan the Treasure Island cruise a little later in the year. Dave and his bride will have to go, of course, even if he sells his '69. And we did do a cruise through S.F. a few years ago...Dave in his automatic and everyone else with sticks climbing the hills. Lots of tires spinning that day.

[TPR]

Hi Marco,
Are you still running the wheel and tyre combo you have in your signature image?
Tempted to do the same with mine. Would be great to see more pics if possible.
Cheers,
TPR

[pullrock]

I am in the South bay (San Jose) and would love to be part of your yearly Charger get together.

Thanks,

Dan,

The stock gauge still reads at about 230° F when in traffic but the mechanical gauge reads about 195° F. As for Treasure Island later this year sounds good. I don't hit many hills the way I cruise through San Francisco.

Yes I am still running that wheel combo. One thing though I lowered the car about 3" in Photoshop.

[Sublime/Sixpack]

It's been over 10 years since I was in San Francisco. I recognized several locations in the video, thanks for the tour.  Nice Charger   

[freddyd02]

Lots of bay area people on here, I think Brock is in SF also. Lets make it happen!

[rp23g7]

Sweet video, my favorite town, met my wife there, I would live there if I could afford it.  About 12 min mark, you are passing a museum or something, where is that?

[mopartybob]

Palace of Fine Arts....as he's cruising down the road he's on Harding park drive,(the golf course), makes a right on Geary, then down to the Cliff House and into the parking lot at Ocean beach...before the Palace,he's cruising the backside of the Presidio,very,very scenic.....  I'll be doin the same cruise....very soon,  MPB

It is a very informal cruise that a bunch of us do, in September or October, starting on Treasure Island and either motoring through the City, or heading over to Highway 1 for a cruise down to Santa Cruise for a nice lunch on the water. We'll do a bit more planning later in the year. All are welcome. There should be a lot of threads on past events.

Nice video! I was wondering why you were driving so slow at around 9:20 - five seconds later I knew why

TPR thanks for trying to help, but with my limited skill on a computer, not a chance , hoping marco sends me a copy , I think I will do the same thing once this car finished, how many on here would like to see a video of cruising Melbourne Australia streets

[Brock Samson]

Traditionally we've done it on Sept. 11th. or near to,. and seeing as there's renewed interest, it's time to make plans.
