hemi 500

[moparchris]

Hi.  I am new to this site, but I read some posts from Learical 1 concerning a hemi 500 that he and his brother used to own in the early 80.  I now own the 500 and it is still in the Phoenix area.  It was interesting to see some of the old pictures from the Lears showing the 500 and some of their old Superbirds. I remember going to their house when I was about 15 and seeing the 'birds in the yard.  I am looking forward to communicating with some of youold aer guys.  I have been involved with Mopars since the late 70s in the Phoenix area.

VERY nice 500 and welcome to the site

Very nice to see the car.  Oh, and that poster on the wall of the three cars (Petty, Baker, and Pearson) on the highbank, we have the exact same poster on the wall in our shop.  My buddy bought it a long long time ago and it hung in his bedroom for years but it has been in the shop now for the last 15. 
Welcome to the sight.

I know what you mean Bruce.  If I had a dollar for all the cool cars that my brother and I sold I'd be rich enough to buy one or two of them back!   Do you ever go to any of the Mopar shows in town?

[Ghoste]

I don't know about kicked but as a guy who has always wanted a 69 500 but never been able to work it into my life, I have to say you should at least...
Nahhhh, you should be kicked.

Hey moparchris, I see 2 other cars beside your 500 and one looks like another Charger

[learical1]

I probably should go to a show, but haven't been to anything other than the Saturday evening show on 83rd Ave at the Safeway.  And then only twice.  All 3 of the boys like to tag along, particularly the 17 year old.  But life with a wife and 4 kids doesn't often leave weekends open (or cash in the wallet!)

Hey moparchris, I see 2 other cars beside your 500 and one looks like another Charger

looks more like a 69 coronet or superbee

[69_500]

Thats a great looking C500 you have there.

Would love to add it to the database I have of known 500's. Up to 239 Charger 500's currently that are known.

[moparchris]

Thanks for the comments guys.   Yeah there are more mopars stuffed in the garage.  The car behind the 500 is a purple 70 440 6 pack Super Bee, 4 speed.  On the other side of the gargae is a 68 4 speed Hemi Charger that is about 85% done.  But working two jobs to support the cars is getting old and starting to break my spherical units!  Let me know how to register the 500 in the database.

Troy,
Obviously you are a man of style and sophistication.  Or you watched Bullitt and Dirty Mary ,Crazy Larry endlessly when you were 14 years old like I did!!
Your 500 is a beautiful car.  I have the Mopar book that has the pictures of your car in it.  Very cool brotha.

Oh yeah... My initial viewing of Dirty Mary, Crazy Larry was in my Dad's '69 Charger Daytona when I was about 6 or 7....  What Mopar Book are you talking about? Maybe it's the T5 Copper one that looks like mine from a distance... Does it have a white 500 stripe?

The '70's still a project, but it's my second white '70 six pack Charger I've owned........

I think he would be refering to the other bronze 500, 4 speed car that is in Texas. Or it could always be a book I haven't seen with a 500 in it.

If it's the one in Texarkana, has steelies, white stripe and 4-speed, it's a T5 copper version..  People get his car and mine confused all the time....

[moparchris]

I guess I am referring to someone else's car.  It is in the large Mopar coffee table type book that was compiled by Robert Genant I think.  There is a chapter in the book dealing with the aero cars and there are a couple of pictures of a t5 bronze 500 with dog bowls and I believe Texas licence plates.  I guess I put 2 and 2 together but came up with the wrong conclusion.  Sorry.

[69_500]

Which out of curiousity would be the gentleman who is always with Denny Guest  at all of the shows up here in the midwest right? Also has a Tor Red Superbird?
Or am I getting him confused with another owner of a T5 4 speed 500 from Texas.

Welcome aboard, Moparchris.

Is your 500 unrestored? Other than maybe the paint & seat covers, it seems to be from here.
