Any CHARGERS in Hawaii?..

[Brock Samson]

 I'm goin to Hawaii in the A.M...
'n I'm just wondering..

  So Aloha.. 


T.O. & C.P.s' parts went out today BTW:

I know of 2 1968 Chargers that are in Hawaii. Which island are you going to?

[bull]

It's not a real popular place for classics. The rust is nasty there.

[69_500]

In the early 80's there was a HEMI Challenger Convertible in Hawaii as well.

[greenpigs]

A guy I sorta know bought his 68 from Hawaii.

[Vainglory, Esq.]

There was an occasional poster on the old board - I don't know that I've seen him here - who had a beautiful 69.  He had a very hawaiin username.  Not that I remember it, but I was something along the lines of kaeukeuaukeiauieika'a...or something like that...

I think he got rid of that and bought a Roadrunner, '69 I think. I tried emailing him a few months ago but got no answer. He was a big help to me with my disc brake swap.

[greenpigs]

Wasn't it two girls one with a RR and the other had a 69 Charger?

[69_500]

The two girls your talking about were in a Mopar Magazine I forget which one, I think it was Mopar Muscle in the readers rides section about 2 years ago.

But I was thinking more along the lines of 1 HEMI 68 R/T, and a 68 383 car.

member "bad bob" is from Hawaii

[tan top]

if i remember correctly there is or was a plum crazy 70 charger 500   in Hawaii , still in the hands of the original owner , he ordered it while he was in the military , it was also in  Mopar Muscle ,  readers cars . it would of been a good few years back ,  it also appeared in a nother  MM  readers rides , same owner  in  California , can't remember witch was the last issue  though 

[hemigeno]

Two '69 Daytonas were listed as being shipped there originally (to Honolulu), but neither of them have surfaced yet that I know of.

Man, when I was TDY there with the Air Force I should have combed the island..  Pineapple Daytona....  I can see it now, a Daytona on the road near North Beach and a couple of surfboards strapped to the wing... 

[RECHRGD]

I lived on Oahu between 1984 and 1993.  I worked across the street from a guy with a blue '68 or '69 GTX.  Can't remember his name though.   Bob

[Brock Samson]

well i'm back and had a pretty good time,.. first time in  my life there, and i didn't even get a sunburn like i have on every other vacation my entire life..
6 days on Maui and the last 12 hours on..  oh i forget... must a been the sun,..
i saw only one classic there a white '66 merc. Montclair convert. outside snorkle Bobs'...
no mopars at all... the entire island is simply crawling,.. crawling with rental cars,.. we had a Pontiac Grand Prix which is comparable to my chrysler 300 M in many ways except I don't like it as much... not many furrin jobs there,.. some japanese cars but i saw only two porches and one audi in a week.. a few benzos, but nothing like here...
and yesterday on.. whatever it's called i picked out a Chevy Monte Carlo which was ok i guess,..
any how i'm back after a short one week vac. my first vac. in 7 years..
So howdy! everyone what I miss?..

[dodge freak]

Glad you made it back ok , missed seeing your feedback on me 

What did you miss ? Oh nothing its been real boring on here-wish some dumb rich bitch's would do something stupid so we could put her down.

We went to Hawaii in August for a week and didn't see any classic chargers. Saw a lot of the new chargers, BARF! We were in Oahu, at Bellows Air Force Station, the most gorgeous beach in my opinion, in all of Hawaii! There weren't any crowds and we had a cabin on the beach. Our rental car was a convertable mustang. I usually hate Fords but that was a fun car to drive!!

Has anyone bought or test drove one of those Dodge Calibers? What's your opinion of it? I really like the way they look, but wonder if they are fast enough for me. Thanks!

Wait for the SRT version as it will have 300 HP..that should get you to the coffee shop quick!

 couple other things i forgot to mention...
Maui reminded me alot of san francisco in the late '60s early '70s with the all the young people hanging out, cept now they are covered in tattoos and have alot of metal things sticking out of their cheeks, noses, chins etc. now as i approch 50 years of age, these things are most querious to me...

Hey suebea.. as the seven large islands are surrounded by water how can that possibly be the nicest beach?...
ive seen about a dozen of them now and would withhold judgment till i had traveled around more...
 
also:
i had expected peace and quiet and a place to relax but at the first resort we stayed at, car alarms were going off about every 20 minutes,
besides which, everyone honked their rental car horns turning on their car alarms, there were garbage trucks banging debris boxes at 4 am. we had to ask the manager to turn down the piped in regga music to a level where we could think and the leaf blowers are out at 7 am...
and there were so many service personel with walkie talkies chattering among themselves outside our open window all the time it felt alot like disneyland which wasn't what i expected at all...
we finally moved to another location where I could actually hear the ocean waves...
so i guess you have to chose your hotel or residence carefully...
i got some fantastic photos by the way!

Suebear is right it's the best beach

..and beside who made you the "official Hawaii beach opinion monitor"  people can give their own opinions without having to "qualify them" to you, give the lady a break! 

[moparsuebear]

Here, here Akcharger!! You rock!!! Thanks for sticking up for me!! I don't need to see any other beaches to know I LOVE Bellows beach!!!  In fact, I don't even WANT to see any other beaches now!! LOL 

I thought we were all entitled to our own opinions anyway!!  You're the greatest AKcharger!!

[AKcharger]

Aww, that's OK my cute little snook 'ems

He probably didn't mean to be insulting

[TPR]

Hey Folks, I'm rehashing this very old topic as I'll be in Hawaii next week.
Any current members have a Charger or Mopar in Kauai, Oahu or the main island?

[Baldwinvette77]

i think i was in the 7th grade when this was started 

[ODZKing]

Sorry I didn't see this before.  There are several folks I had got aquainted with that have Mopars over there.
We got married in Hawaii.  Oahu, we've been several times.  Big island once.
There was a club called Mopars on the Rocks but they disbanded a few years back.
I've been trying to talk my wife into retiring there, at least for part of the year.  We loved it.

[6spd68]

Saw a lot of the new chargers, BARF!

You mean those fugly Chrysler 300's with body kits?

My parents live in Kauai and when I was out there last year there was a classic car show at the Aston Aloha Beach Hotel in Kapaa.  The island car club/show was called "Cruzin' in Paradise" and there was a guy there with a '69 Charger with a '68 front grille.  He was in their local paper... here is the link:

If you ask around I believe they have cruises on Saturdays.

I once dated a Hawaiian girl from Komeoniwannalayya.

I once dated a Hawaiian girl from Komeoniwannalayya.

My first wife was from near Buffalo ... Lackawanna!  

[AKcharger]

Woo Hoo post resurrection! 

I spent a month on all the islands last year and never saw anything but Oahu has some I'm sure as there are TONS of people there. The drag strip is on Maui so that would be 2nd place I'd expect some. Molokai isn't that populated, same as lanai. Big Island and Kauai are possible for a few.

Maybe she knows a couple of my ex's.

Last week I've bought a used dome light for my charger througt ebay (we left ours on the car before it got blastsanded...!!!) and I've found that it came from Maui..I find it funny because I was there with my wife in our honeymoon exactly one year ago..we really miss that place!!!
Anyway..I believ this means that someone there is playing with mopars.. :-)
