The owner of that Charger is not a member here but he is good friends with Vegas Mike who is a DC.com member. The car is super sweeeet and tricked out. He also has several other cool mopars....GTX, Superbee and i'm sure a few others. Very nice guy....his name is Holly. Looking forward to seeing him again this year at the MATS show.

Mike has taken on some tuning & diagnostic work with this car and is doing an excellent job.....the car is in good hands with VegasMike spinning the wrenches.

[Brock Samson]

Don Garlits racing a Corsair in 1974. Well racing is a bit of misnomer. Garlits sitting on the flightdeck as the world unfolds?

you would have to actually stay at work......

[dukeboy_318]

[69bronzeT5]

That would be cool to see. I hope that 'Bird beats the Pony

The intake on Holly's 69 R/T is a ceramic coated and polished Torker. This is one bad ass car. It took 1st place in the 2005' Mopars At The Strip "B"Body modified class. It is a true numbers matching R/T.

In the pics. Ron posted above the X on the right also belongs to Holly. I had the privilege to drive it to diner and then home after the show.  The 68' Charger to the left is Vegas Mikes. Also a bad ass ride..

I would love to see these 2 cars go heads up in the 1/4...   Did I mention that these cars are driven all the time?? No trailers for these Kings....   

Holly has a brother named BUZZ that had his Hemi Chally on the aircraft carrier this year. Maybe we can get those guys to join up here and post some pics..  I'll send them both a link..

I agree, Holly and Buzz are great guys with some extremely awesome mopars.

Make sure your sound is turned on.

That's my bro's 69 Charger R/T, Track Pack, 4.10 Dana, 4spd, 440 w/ JE, Manley, ported 452's, Victor intake, demon 850, etc.  Its like his high school Charger he bought new in 69, only w/ a few zeros added to the window sticker!    Mike's 68 R/T is also a BEAST & the red & blue looks great together.  We had a blast at the vegas show w/ Ron, Steve & Mike.  Great bunch of guys.  Can't wait to see Ron's Charger next yr.  IT'll be the "beast-y boys" , for sure!    DOing burnouts on the Midway was a blast.  The Chally hooked up pretty good w/the locker, & I didn't keep my foot on the brake as did Dave Tweedy.   He got the best burnout AND the best et & mph @ the drags later into the cruise.  Great guy.  (and his wife drove pretty good, too!)     I'll try to post photos when I can figure out how to down size them.   If you do a google search on muscle car 1000 2007, there's a blog w/ all the photos posted.

DOUBLE STAGE.... she had her "bikini" painted on.  The mansion was a wierd place.....a lot of "mafia" type bouncer individuals in the background.  They lifted 12 cars up one by one via crane to the mid deck (where you see my Chally next to a jet) & then we drove THRU the carrier to the flight elevator . Even got a tour w/ the admiral.   We raced up to lake arrowhead, spen the nite there & then 40 of us raced down to LA, where a news helecopter met us.   I raced a 65 & 67 Shelby, & an Ellenor mustang for 14 miles down the twisty nountain roads.  Needless to say, they couldn't shake the heavy hemi behind them!   That elephant is pretty nimble.   Sure widh you coulda been in the passenger seat.   We got some things planned for next yr.  I'll keep you posted.   Thanks for the pics!   How's your Charger going??

Charger is coming along slowly....this w/e's project is fuel/brake lines. Safety first !
