The journey home

[Ghoste]

Leaving Arkansas.  I bought the 69 from Heath Van Camp and I'll use this to say that he was a very stand up guy to deal with and if anyone else ever has reason to buy something from him I highly recommend him.

[Ghoste]

Also leaving.

[Ghoste]

A stop in Missouri for tow vehicle fuel.

[Ghoste]

Only to wake up to fog.

[charge69]

Nice looking Charger. The trailer looks nice also. Plenty of room on the sides to clear the wheel wells and an easy tie-down setup. Sounds like quite a trip to get back home. Gotta be cold and nasty up there now. How long ago did you make this trip?

[Ghoste]

After waiting for it to burn off a little we hit the road again with another stop for fuel in Indiana followed by a short visit in Auburn with some good friends.

[Ghoste]

A couple of weeks ago and the weather held out just long enough.  Snowing and cold now.

[Ghoste]

Sadly encountered a little mud during the trip but it was quickly cleaned up once I got home.

[Ghoste]

Then it was a matter of clearing US Customs after a one night stay at Tufcat's.

[Ghoste]

Then it was home and unload.

[Ghoste]

And this is where she will stay until spring.

NICE ghoste.....congrats on her man 

[charge69]

Nice Charger, Ghoste !  Does it have a build sheet or fender tag? The pictures show the "short" bumper guards.  Mine has a 314 SPD and it has the taller bumper guards.

[TUFCAT]

I snapped this quick shot on my phone after the boys dropped it off.  I "Charger-sat" this bad boy for one night and a day until they got the green light from Canadian customs.

So, Mrs. Tufcat (who doesn't say much about cars) remarks "Hey, I really like the looks of that car!"......and I immediately start thinking.... then I hear that voice  - - "No, you're not getting another one!"   Damn.  Well at least I tried.

[69rtse4spd]

Nice Charger, like the yellow stripe, If you came up 69 then you drove right past the Ft. Wayne Truck plant I work at. Sounds like you were road tripping about the same time I was in Anderson picking up mine.

[Ghoste]

Yes, we went past Fort Wayne and yes it has its papers.

[jessejames]

Beautiful car bro!! Love the yellow and black! I believe I've seen this car before.

[hatersaurusrex]

I've seen thousands if not millions of pics of these things, and the 2nd gen is still just as stunning every time I see a new one.

Congrats, Ghoste!   Try to get some sleep tonight instead of standing out in the garage staring at it with a stupid grin on your face

[Mopar Nut]

Best year for the Charger.

I feel the same way about the 2nd gen I NEVER get tired of looking at each one they seem different based on how the light hits the colors, lines, etc...they are just beatiful. 

[remta1]

wow awesome charger good score

[bmoparmofo]

Congrats! 

[Bob T]

Nice one, pleased for you Ghoste.
Sharp looking 69. Condition and options with more pics if you could please 

[BrianShaughnessy]

Congrats!   

[WHITE AND RED 69]

Great looking charger! Congrats.   

[kokxville]

Congrats Ghoste,

very badass charger 

Have fun with her upcoming spring. 

[tan top]

Nice one, pleased for you Ghoste.
Sharp looking 69. Condition and options with more pics if you could please  

 nice one Ghoste    looking forward to more pictures info & stuff as & when  

awesome stuff  

[Ghoste]

Not much to tell at this point and not many pics until the spring now.  It wasn't a heavily optioned car.  T5 originally with black top and interior.  Stripe delete, A01 light package.  I'll provide more info as I learn it.
You would have seen it on here before as I bought it from a member.

[XS29L9B2]

congrat this car is beautifull

[Dino]

Very nice!   

[War wagon]

Congrats on the purchase
Good to know another one has found a good home
Looks like a keeper, nice car

[ODZKing]

That coming to Carlisle and Mope-fest this summer?   

[Ghoste]

Mopar fest and Columbus for sure and right now highly likely at Carlisle. 

[darkside]

Never seen that car around  ,what town in Arkansas?

[Ghoste]

Antoine.

[firefighter3931]

Congrats buddy....that is a sweet looking Charger.    

The yellow tail stripe looks really cool....luv it !  



Ron

[Ghoste]

Have to add that trailer pulled really nice too, it's aluminum and only weighs about 1600 lbs.  It didn't present much challenge for that 1/2 ton pickup.

[Aero426]

After waiting for it to burn off a little we hit the road again with another stop for fuel in Indiana followed by a short visit in Auburn with some good friends.

We stopped in Auburn on Friday. 

[Back N Black]

Awesome charger! it will look nice parked next to the 67. 

[hemigeno]

Congrats, Ghoste - looks like a great car... love the stance.

[4cruzin]

WOW sweet car!  So all you hit was some fog and a little mud?  No Snow?     Nice score!   

[Tilar]

So, Mrs. Tufcat (who doesn't say much about cars) remarks "Hey, I really like the looks of that car!"......and I immediately start thinking.... then I hear that voice  - - "No, you're not getting another one!"   Damn.  Well at least I tried.

Always remember, It is easier to ask forgiveness than permission.  


Nice 69 there Ghoste!   

[RIDELIKEHELL]

Right on!! Any chance it makes it North to my place in the spring? I can meet you half way or a 1/2 hour down the road  I wondered who bought that car  Anyway Bothwell has a great show in July so we should meet up Ghoste...again congrats

Marc

[Ghoste]

I thought Bothwell was always the same weekend as WAMBO which is the same weekend as the Nats?

your right august 8-9

[projectanimal]

Congrats on the new BEAUTIFUL charger! 
Also looked like a fun trip!  always cool to buy something new and then have an adventure to bring it home! 

[Fred]

Congrats Ghoste.  
Getting it home is definitely a good starting point.  Seeing it sit comfy, cosy in the garage will have you grinning from ear to ear.

[Ghoste]

Its a different shop right now as the 67 still sits in the garage at home so I visit it often but it will be nice in the spring when I can bring it here.

[chargerboy69]

I love that car.  I remember when the seller posted a WIW thread about it this fall. Congratulations of the purchase.

I bet the truck is glad to be home, she looks a "little" overloaded.  

[Ghoste]

It had a bed full of parts.  It never strained or missed a beat though.

[Mopar Nut]

Congrats Ghoste.

I have been grinning from ear to ear since seeing this thread and it's not even my car.   

[Marck]

Congrats on your new addition.. 

[Just 6T9 CHGR]

Welcome back to the club Shawn!  Now you have a new spark to get the '69 Registry running again!

Good luck with the new toy!  

[Daytona R/T SE]

Very nice. 

[myk]

Cool deal, Ghoste!

[69 OUR/TEA]

Congrats ghoste !!!!! Even though I've seen the car in posts here thru the years,I can't remember,what are the stats of the car R/T,colors,tranny,options

[stripedelete]

Nice choice.   

[bill440rt]

S-H-A-R-P Charger!!!!! 
Looks like it found a nice new home.
Congrats and best of luck with it! 

Might I make a humble suggestion that you may want to invest in a set of weight distribution bars for your hitch setup, they make a world of difference! 

[RECHRGD]

I just love that color combo...

[Ghoste]

Not my trailer or pickup and they actually belong to two different people but I appreciate the tip all the same Bill.

I noticed that to,looks like the car was a bit to far forward.

[Challenger340]

GREAT looking Charger Ghoste, good decision !

[bakerhillpins]

Mopar fest and Columbus for sure and right now highly likely at Carlisle. 

Nice ride. I always liked the yellow stripe on that car.

Congratulations!      I remember that day well. I was grinning so much my face hurt for a week. 

Looking forward to meeting you at Carlisle this year!

[TUFCAT]

When I first saw the car in person, I told Ghoste the same thing.... "I can't believe I'm saying this but I like the stripe"!

I know him well enough to say that (because I really didn't like it in pictures) but somehow it works on this car and most of you guys agree. Having said that if I ever restored the car, the yellow stripe would have to be replaced with a correct production color. But I think its a fun contrast to the typically restored examples.   

[Ghoste]

And I kind of felt the same way seeing it in photos but I'm content to leave it for now.

[bakerhillpins]

I also like the Stripe Delete emblem combined with the 70 stripe, just like SFRT's ride, but he uses white on black.

[bakerhillpins]

When I first saw the car in person, I told Ghoste the car was just stolen, and hid it around back behind the house.

Fixed..  

[Ghoste]

Actually he kept threatening to steal the trailer.

[tan top]

yeah looks good with a yellow stripe     , eye catching !! makes it stand out from the rest  

[TUFCAT]

Actually he kept threatening to steal the trailer.

...that's a true story!

[stripedelete]

I had the stripe and emblem for years.  The only thing I didn't like about it were people constantly telling me it was not correct, like I was trying to get one past them.

Imo, it's an option/combo that should have happened.

[Ghoste]

I should get it double then for having the emblem on the stripe and having the stripe as yellow.

[fy469rtse]

Nah, i wouldn't give you any grief, was looking at pictures of that car a while ago, i like the combination , its also my football teams colors,
got to see one of your cars anyway now you have to post in threads , my rides , before and after , hows got the nicest rear, etc  

[Ghoste]

Haha, yes true although I probably posted more pics of the fastback 6 years ago.

[1970Moparmann]

Congrats on the car.   Hell of a road trip!
