WPC NAT MEET PA JULY

[chargerjy9]

iI have an unrestored reference original 73 Charger. There is a WPC nat meet in Pennsylvania this July, I ,would like to take it there this will be a fun show and my car should show well. It has only 8000 miles on the odo. it would be around an 800 mile round trip. the car is dependable and should make the drive no problem. I dont want to trailer it, my question is would this car be better served by putting the miles on it? I usually put around 1200 miles a season. any opinions would be appreciated

 They were meant to be driven . It's a Mopar , not a Chevy .

That car sounds like a candidate for the Survivor display at the Carlisle Chrysler show also. It also just happens to be in PA in July- make the trip a two-fer: you wouldn't regret it! You won't hurt the car by driving- I'd just give a close inspection to belts & hoses; if they're original to the car as well, they'd be your most likely cause of any trouble. Hope to see it there!

Just Drive it...it is a Mopar and life is short.

thanks guys, that is what I needed to hear. a little history . I purchased the car in July 03 with  2765 actual documented miles.The previous owner had it in his private collection of low mileage cars since the mid 80's. It has a 400 4bbl, the A/C blows cold. It is original except for new belts and hoses, a new battery, w pump and mufflers. the orig wheels and .tires are off the car and stored. I even removed the factory installed  spark plugs. The WPC  meet is July 13 to 17. I believe Carlyle is rhe weekend before that? I was at Carlyle last summer and I thought that my car would have fit nicely in the survivor tent.
