Up on blocks in the garage now, done for the year.   :'(

Not sure, I've only had it back on the road since August and was not able to get it to run as it should.  When I worked full time I'd put around 3K miles on it each year but I think I only have about 600 on it this year.  I don't drive it to college because these kids can't park to save their lives.  I'll have to check the pictures that show my odometer from last year to see how much I put on it this year, but I still have 4 more weeks to play with it.   :icon_smile_big:

So how's that elephant running after 2K miles?

Running so-so.  (How does it sound in the vid?)

Next year...new carb and dizzy.   :yesnod:

Dino

I don't know why I thought you had a hemi,  I must be tired...

It sounds pretty good, a whole lot better than mine!   :lol:

Car hit the road about 6 weeks ago - just over 700 miles.

Mostly weekends but did drive it to work a few times.

About 1000 miles each in both the 69 and 70. Wasn't really very nice for a good part of our summer. I had them both out yesterday for the last time this year.

At the end of last season I had just got the car on the road, and I think I parked it in the barn with ~90 miles on it.  Spent the first couple months of the season messing with the carb, eventually got it running half decent.  Got ~2950 miles on it now, still driving it to work when I can so I should break 3000 this year, then I can change the oil.  :icon_smile_big:  Got the heater working this year so we'll run it until they start salting the roads.  For next season I need to install some offset control arm bushings, couple of rear speakers, and a gas tank return line/regulator.

Dino

It's nice out, I need a new backpack, I'm gonna add a few miles on the old beast.   :2thumbs:

Zero.  :'(

The Road Runner was out of commission all year, mostly because my health was out of commission the whole year.  My surgery and recovery are a huge success, and I now have the Hemi fixed and running as well.

So the miles are zero, the idling time was maybe 3 hours.  But hey it's only November so there will be some miles before year end.  :icon_smile_big:

Don't know yet but it'll be a couple or three thousand.  Depends on the weather but I'm thinking it's about to get crappy.

5,000-Finished car in June, really had a lot of fun driving. My son got a kick out of it! Many thumbs up! Can't wait till next year-Installing a 5-speed.

Dino

I put a few hundred more on it since I last posted in here, but I still don't know the total as I don't seem to have a picture with last years odometer reading.  Let's just say it wasn't enough and I will have to try harder next year.   :icon_smile_big:

600 or so on my '69 alone.
I'd say at least a few hundred or so more between the '68 & '70, so over 1000 for sure.

It was a good summer here. No big trips, just lots of short little side trips, 2 shows, and time spent with my boy. It was sunny and 64 degrees F here at 10:00AM this morning. It's 10:50 now, the wind is howling and the temp has dropped 20 degrees. In about 1/2 hour it will be either raining or snowing. By tonight they are calling for 12 degrees. The high tomorrow is supposed to be 18 degrees.  Last Wednesday, I met a friend for lunch and we ate on the patio while I watched the car parked out front on Main Street. After lunch, I picked my 5th grader up from school in it. It was a good Spring. Summer, and Fall (while it lasted).  I was going to get it out one last time this AM (before this storm hit), but other things intervened.  I guess I'll go into the garage and cover it up now, maybe throw some fuel stabilizer in it.  Next Spring will be it's 47th (& my 20th with it). It's been fun.

I put about 20 more miles on the Charger today so I just doubled my miles this year. And for the first time I actually tested out the power of the new 440, it hates rear tires apparently.

Heavy Fuel:  I'm such a lamebrain (potential ADD sufferer?), I only just now watched your car video. Lovely car! That copper color must not have been very common, as I saw very few cars that color (maybe some A-bodies but never a Charger?), at least in the part of the world I grew up in.  It really looks good to me now.

HeavyFuel


Thanks.

Stock color for 1968...... code MM1 Bronze.   

Not factory for my car, but you can't tell unless you look at my fender tag.    ;)

Close to 2500 miles here. Longest trip this year was to Madison Wisconsin area. About 325 round trip. ;D  I am very happy with the way she is running now with help from the members on this site!! I even took some Chevy guys for a ride. I was really surprised and their responses after the ride. I almost turned them to MOPAR...Could not believe how hard she pulls for the size of the car.  :2thumbs:   :cheers: I should have gotten this years ago!!

If they together they got 500 that would be a lot, it's been a super busy year, Only have time to start 'em up every once in a while

Not too sure about this year, but 9237 since I got it on the road in May 2012.
It gets used a lot.
There's a New Years Day car show here in Whangamata, likely head along and put a few pics up later.
