Looks good Trav. Is it a factory R/T or a clone?

[tan top]

    wow awesome looking charger travis love the color combo awesome

[66mopar]

Beautiful car love the color combo.

That's more like it.

nice car you got there Travi.
Dig those rims 
Way cool!!

[69charger2002]

thanks guys. i drove it home today. felt so good to drive that car again. it rides very nice and tight, but yet feels stock. bronzy it is an R/T clone, it's an original 318/auto car. here it is just settled into the "stable"

[RD]

nice,  never knew you had a 70 coronet (bee?)  got pics of that?  I like those cars.

[69charger2002]

it's a coronet. yeah i scored that one off ebay last year. 26k original miles. california car. was 318, now 440. it is pretty much mint. under $10k too. 
trav

[RD]

man that is pretty... wow oh wow oh wow.... 

[Harlow]

Do you rent that warehouse or is that on your property?

[69charger2002]

thanks jamey
mark the cuda is my new favorite driver car. it seems smaller than a charger, and is fun to drive.. wish it ws a 340, it's a lowly 318.. harlow that's my building.. if i had to rent a warehouse to store those i'd be broke already. it's hard enough doing oil changes and gas fill-ups in them all

[Ghoste]

Out of curiousity Travis, what is the most money you have ever spent to buy a classic Mopar?

[69charger2002]

spent to buy up front? or most totally invested/spent on one?
trav

[Ghoste]

Nope, to buy up front. 

[69charger2002]

hmm.. i think it would be my black 69 R/T. paid $22,500 for it 2 years ago. it's not in the pics. it also getting a new 440 put in it. 2nd would be the black 70 R/T SE.. i paid $19000 for it unfinished

sweet . Wow Trav, thats an amazing collection

[Ghoste]

Have you ever figured out an average.  I realize a lot of the cars mentioned in your sig were purchased a long time ago but you must have a more realisitic idea than most of us here as to what can be found out there.  Not necessarily the turds but the restorable cars that everyone insists are all gone.

[1969chargerrtse]

Wow, I love the Charger, Y2 Yellow correct?  My car is original Y2 Yellow with a black top and stripe.  Makes me want to strip it down, and have it repainted, but I just got the darn thing and yet to enjoy it.

[69charger2002]

there is no doubt in my mind restorable projects are still out there.. though i find more turds than good ones nowaday.  you aren't as likely to come across that owner who's had one for 20 years, never heard of BJ or ebay, and still has no clue of it's value. those days are all but gone. but i am still convinced plenty of restorable reasonably priced charger projects are still out there(just not so many in MY area lol) the key is to have cash in hand, and when you hear of one or see a classified ad, you can't think to ask the wife's permission. it will be too late and someone else will own the deal. you have to be FAST, even if that means travelling a few hours to go look at/purchase the car.
trav

BTW thanks for the compliment bronze. it's been a long hard road to amass that collection, but i can proudly say i have NEVER spent 1 dime of checking account/savings money for any of those cars.. it's ALL a result of buying/selling/trading for 11 years

yessir. it's Y2. i didn't care for it that much when i first bought it. but for the price i wasn't going to be picky(bought it from a member on here 13 months ago).. but it REALLY grows on you.. i still don'tsee how it was "high impact" though lol

[69bronzeT5]

Hey, do you have a Challenger? It looks like in the second shop pic, theres one behind that '70

average. i guess my average for all my good ones is 10-15000 each. i am sure i have close to $150k in my 11-12 keepers, but they are worth roughly double that..

Hey, do you have a Challenger? It looks like in the second shop pic, theres one behind that '70

yes that's a rough 73 challenger project i picked up last week. it's on moparts for sale. it needs a little too  much for me.. those other 2 cars are a 70 318 charger, and a 69 R/T SE though it's hard to tell that..

[Back N Black]

WOW! Travis you have a really nice setup and really nice rides.

sweet . Once my Charger is done, I'll probally go hunting for a Challenger. I want a '70 but with the prices these days on '70s and '71s, I'll probally get a '72-'74.

[mikesbbody]

WOW! Travis you have a really nice setup and really nice rides.   

 

[skip68]

I'd say you've had a very good run Trav.  You are a master in the art of wheeling & dealing Chargers. I take my hat off to you sir.       Chuck.........

Does that mean Troy has 3 or 4 Chargers now...I'm losing count.

BTW Trav, what are those rims? I like the looks of the rears, the fronts look a tad shallow, though. Are they 15's?

[69charger2002]

15x7 with 235/60/15 in front, 15x10 with 275/60/15 in rear. i don't know why they look so shallow. normally 235's fill the wheel wells up pretty decently
yeah old T-roy has 4 chargers now

Nice car Travis, why do you have so many cars? What are your plans for them all?

man that is classic!!!
JMF.. why do i have them all? i honestly don't know. i've said it before it's a disease. i can't help it. i am not much on showing off, so i don't think it's that.. wife is impartial to them, so that's not it. i honestly don't know. because i'm fortunate enough to own that many i guess. wouldn't you if you had the means?

[TUFCAT]

Dude, or should I say sir Travis??/ - - anyway, you have a great collection.... and an awesome building!  All I can say is you better thank God for forests.  Wow bro, either the lumber industry has been really good to you, or you're one helluva salesman -- - or both!   Have you hugged a tree lately?    I would 

[1969R6RED]

I will really jump on the band wagon here and say Trav. You sure do have the right set up going there with the building and all. Would you happen to have a hoist to do any service on them if need be??

I thought that I was trully blessed enough to have owned 2 69 Chargers but you sure have the market cornered on them..

Thanks for great pic's...  JIM

[JMF]

Yeah Travis awesome collection

[1FastCharger]

I watched Powerblock on Spike last weekend (maybe 2 weeks ago) and there was a guy on there named Travis with the original GL 1. Was that you? I am not a big Dukes fan, but that was a great job on the car. I cannot believe they resurected it after being jumped like that.

[TUFCAT]

Uh oh.  No, that was Travis Bell.  Some people (the hard core Dukes fans) may not like him much....(involved with the stand-up general)   No haters.....go easy, on 1fast Charger he didn't know - - Plus this is a NEW Year!    and I'm a Feline Casanova....I love everybody 

[400/6/PAC]

Very nice

Yep, we'll go easy on him......BUT HLPAG, we're NOT going easy on them
