Oh, and welcome to the group.

Hi, I'm Robin...

Seriously though, I am.
Welcome to crazyland! Enjoy the ride...it's a great view, but often bumpy. Please stay in your seat until the Captain turns out the seatbelt light...

[xs29j8Bullitt]

Welcome to the forum!  Nice collection of Wings!

I have a Superbird, Daytona, and Charger 500... none running at the moment.

Hi, my name is Bryan. My wife & I have a funny looking pointy nosed purple Charger with a very large towel rack on the rear. We built a Daytona clone from a '70 Charger 500. We drove from Seattle to Talladega for the '99 Areo Reunion in the car.

Hi mom...

Mom and Shirley Muldowney at Carlisle getting her wing signed





cars:

At Norwalk '06





At the '03 WW meet:






At Les Bowman's house, summer 1976 (our car is closest)





The real Daytona is bad enough to be on cars in barns...   

[tan top]

hello  ,,,,,,,,,,,,,  would love to see some pictures   

[Moparmatty]

Hey Doug.  Did you happen to get a picture of you walking around Carlisle with our shirt on inside out??

[69_500]

Welcome to the site. I've been staring at your two Superbirds at various shows now for over 20 years.

[nascarxx29]

Welcome to the board.I remember seeing your 2 superbirds at one of the meets.And know of the canadian daytona.Nice 42 Marty Robbins replica didnt Svec brothers have car like that also.looks familar to me .I think they used a 69 charger 500 or parts from 69 charger 500 to build it

[BigBlockSam]

Howdy  Carol     very nice cars.

[pettybird]

Welcome to the board.I remember seeing your 2 superbirds at one of the meets.And know of the canadian daytona.Nice 42 Marty Robbins replica didnt Svec brothers have car like that also.looks familar to me .I think they used a 69 charger 500 or parts from 69 charger 500 to build it

Mike and Gary Svec built the car, yes--we bought it from Mike so that he could buy a Superbird project.


The car has Mike Svec's original nose cone from his black (painted from R4) car, a real wing, latch tray, fender scoop set, decklid filler panel/hinges and a 500 plug/trim from (I think) former racer Buzz Miller.  They fabricated Z brackets and the lower valance, and there are no internals in the nose.  The car is a real H code 383HP R4 car.

[69_500]

So what nose cone does Mike's car have on it currently then? I've seen his car at many shows, but not ever really looked at it that closely.

[nascarxx29]

I remember a long while back at the nats or a meet.It was painted blackand must have used 70 1/4s with large marker lights to restore.Didnt recall anything wrong with nose on it. I had seen the album and had the racing champs 42 daytona.Never seen much anything else collectible in a daytona on Marty Robbins.But went into a local antique store.And found a poster where he preformed sometime back in Pitman NJ

[pettybird]

Mike's car has an NOS nose.  The quarters are NOS, too--nice thing about restoring your car in 1985 is the parts were still there.


There's a 1:43 scale Marty car, too, and a postcard with him sitting on the hood with his guitar.  I don't know of anything else.  If anyone DOES know of something else, please let us know!

We also have a record with him and his 73/4 Charger--at least it helps explain the paint

[71ChallengeHer]

  Carol, I'm standing right behind you in the pic with Shirley.

[Ghoste]

Sunglasses and tatoo on the right inner calf?

[71ChallengeHer]

Sunglasses and tatoo on the right inner calf?

[nascarxx29]

This I what I recall what there was out there

[69bronzeT5]

Sunglasses and tatoo on the right inner calf?

Yea I was gonna say "I see Jackie!"

[69_500]

I was wondering if it had an NOS nose on it. I knew he had done his car several years ago, and those pieces weren't exactly easy to come by even in 1985.

Although who is to say that they didn't make 500 additional nose cones along with the 500 that were on the origional cars? I know they would have made some for replacement parts, but what figure do you suppose was deemed necesarry?

[UFO]

Welcome.Would like to see some pics of that Canadian daytona.

[nascarxx29]

Here is the correspondance when the car was for sale .
Beep Beep Dave posted some of the pictures on page 25& 94 for me

It still looks like that, except the spider wheels are gone and the fender is in the attic...

[UFO]

OK,  I have seen those pics before.

Hi Carol!

Welcome to the site.     I'm Gene (aka Geno), and I work in the Complaint Department here in the Aero Forum.

[Mopurr]

Hi Carol

Glad to see you here, they just talked me into joining in at Monster Mopar this year.

Brent is on here too.

Look forward to seeing you sometime next year,  Have a Happy Holiday and tell Andrew Hi, from us.

Hugs
Sherri

[69_500]

Yeah we really had to twist your arm to join up to the site didn't we Sherri? 

I'm personally glad that more and more of the people that I actually talk to at shows are starting to post on here quite a bit. Definately makes things more interesting around here. I'd rather read from people that know what they are talking about, rather than me trying to answer questions. I'd rather read answers from people who really know what they are talking about.

[marty42]

Hi! Remember me? You introduced me to ice cream at Norwalk. 

Troy

It is nice to hear from you.  I really enjoyed that meet.

[marty42]

Welcome to the site. I've been staring at your two Superbirds at various shows now for over 20 years.

It is hard to see th old pictures because we have really beat those cars up.  They need restoring.  Some day.

[marty42]

Carol, I'm standing right behind you in the pic with Shirley.

That is really neat.  I cant believe it.  It was such a hot day that I drove the Chrysler cars - all of them - several times for the air conditioning.

[wingfan]

Hi Carol and welcome!  I met you, Doug and JoAnn at the Arkansas state fair grounds at the end of the Power Tou and guided you guys to the La Quinta in North Little Rock.  See ya next year!  Joe

[BMOTOXSTAR]

I have known your son for many years, just from local car cruises. I see you all the time at Solon on Tuesday nights.
My daughter had her pic taken this past summer at Norwalk on your Bird Wing. That made her day.
Your son has that pal that just purchased that  3rd gen Charger.

Yes, it was hot. Hope to meet you next year.

[71ChallengeHer]

Thrilled to have you aboard, 1) for your knowledge of the hobby and some rare and awesome cars,  2) we finally got a better close up of Jackie, rather than the picture of her next to her Challenger 600ft away.  The mystery is now over. 

I look better 600 ft away.

[marty42]

Sherri - I am glad to hear from you.  I haven't seen you in a while.  I thought of you last week as I was laundering Mickey D.  He is still here.  Andrew loves him.  I just got a dog, a schnauzer and am getting a cat tonight.  Both rescue animals.  I will send you pics.

[Mopurr]

Oh I am so excited for you and yes please send me Pictures of the new babies.

I have some bad news to tell you we lost McD  the Sat. after Thanksgiving.  He went from having a limp on the Sat. before to not able to breath that next Sat. he had been to 2 local vets as he was having problems with his legs and unable to walk by Thanksgiving. We went to U of I with him the night before he died and they did not realize he was progressing that badly.  We do not know what happened. Possibly a mass in his brain. he showed a mass or fluid in his left lung that morning, they were to run tests that day to find out what was actually happening.  I really didn't want to tell Andrew this unless you think he should know.  I love that he loves his Mickey D so much. We are so heart broken of course.  All of the vets were baffled and stunned that we lost him.  He was only 4 1/2 yrs old.

Sorry for the highjack guys.....

For those wondering... McD was our cat and Andrew's Mickey D was a beanie babie cat that I bought him at the 2005 DSAC meet.

Carol I will be watching for the pictures and I am sure Andrew is very excited about them too.

Can't wait to see you guys somewhere next year.

Sherri

Hey, I'm 51.  You don't see any shots of my aging body up against my car from any distance.  Besides I would look terrible in that dress.

Prove it, besides somehow I think Ponch might like that pic. Or even 70 charger boy.

[Mopurr]

Thanks for the kind thoughts.

I have had a Mopurr License plate, that is actually how I came up with it, I had it on my 1974 Triple white Charger, it had a 318 so it purred me to work daily for about 6 yrs.  It is now back with the family that had it for 16 yrs with if they ever sell it we get first chance back for it.   The plate is now hanging on the wall in our sunroom with other car stuff.

And I am sure I will use that plate again sometime.

[TUFCAT]

I had a bitchen black Cougar XR7. The license plate was .......well, TUFCAT     Then, I started acquiring real cats.....stopped at 5.  I like your style MOPURR

marty42,
  I feel like I am being ignored for some reason.
I know you would remember me if you saw me.I always have my daughter on my shoulders at the Solon cruise.
Actually, I have know you & your son for many years by seeing you as far back as 97' at the Royal Dodge show.
That guy you know with the 71' R/T, now he really ignores me. I must smell or something. 
Any way, welcome.

[pettybird]

Those are cool pics--I'm glad you posted them!  Neat to see them up on the wing.  I did that a few times this year.


Steve is a finicky guy--I've known him since '91--he's very guarded unless you know him. 


I'm not sure mom's been on in a couple days...

That;s the #1 mod I'd like to do to that thing...  it stays as-is because, well, that's cheap

I'd LOVE to strip the rug and interior, make it a stick, and generally turn it up a few notches towards its 'racecarness.'
