First time poster: 70 Charger R/T owner plus many others

[bad88t-top]

Hi guys,
My name is Bill Woessner and I'm from Pgh, PA.  I'm 30 years old and have been around Chargers all my life.  Fortunately my dad owns 4 70 R/T's that he's owned for over 20 years.  Earlier in my teenage life my dad would let me cruise the cars, but when it came time for me to build one he told me to start with something else.  I had a 85 Shelby Charger, then an 88 SHelby Daytona turbo, then I wanted a rear wheel drive so I got a 88 5.0 T-top Mustang.  When I was done I had a pristine mid 10 second street car with all the goodies, Fuel injection, Cruise, Leather, 6 speed, the works.   Attached is a link of some pictures of the car.http://www.hwknights.com/billw_88mustang.html
Now that the old man saw what I could do with a car, he started getting more into his hobby, MOPARS; and more specifically Chargers.  I'm just about finished with our 70 six pack car.  All that's left is the bumpers and a good buff.  We have the following:
1-70 Charger R/T V-code, 4 speed, Track Pack, Dana, TX9 black exterior, red bumble bee stripe, brown interior, pdb, ps, console, go wing, etc..    This car was purchased in 2/78 from Leechburgh, VA from a farmer.  Since then the car has had 13K miles put on it and never seen rain or snow since.  It has it's original interior which is spotless, original carbs, 100% sheetmetal, and carried it's original paint up until 2 months ago.  Last winter I completely reconditioned the suspension, brakes, entire under carriage is now gloss black, it's amazing.  Once I get the bumpers on I'll have someone post some pictures for me.
2-70 Charger R/T S/E   U-code car, automatic, ps, pdb, power windows, cruise, a/c, rear window defogger, power SUNROOF, that's right, I'm sure they didn't make too many of these.   It is currently wearing it's original B5 blue paint, blue interior, white vinyl top, stripe delete, light package w/ console, etc...   This car was purchased in 1980 and was driven for about a week before it was parked.  This car is super clean, just needs a mild restoration to bring it back to life.
3-70 Charger R/T S/E  U code car, automatic, ps, pdb, B5 Exterior, blue interior, black vinyl top, white bumble bee stripe
4-68 Charger R/T  U code car, 4 speed, ps, Dark Blue exterior, black interior, Pretty rusty, but it's all there.   This car has been in the garage since 1975
5-71 Javelin AMX, 360 automatic:  Baby blue with black interior, black top, flat black hood, etc...    100% original
6-78 Dodge 1/2 ton Pathfinder 4x4 Van, short wheel base, 360 engine, 35" tires:   This is another one of my dad's future projects that will never get done.
Anyhow, I know mopar guys like to know what's laying around, so here's our pole building worth of goodies.

I'm interested in attending a few all CHARGER car shows this summer.  A long time ago, my dad use to belong to the Charger Registry that advertised in Hemmings and we attended a few of there events, probably in the early 80's.   Is this organization still around.   Now that the black car's done I'd like to enjoy it for a while before diving into the sunroof car project. 

Lastly, if anyone has any information regarding sunroof cars, I'd love to speak with you about it.  I can be reached at 724-612-5315.  Feel free to give me a call.

-Thanks

Hi - I am also a new first time poster but man that last guy is a tough act to follow...unbelievably awesome list of cars.
Then a little lower down I see "the first rule is to post a picture" so I am going to try my best to do just that.
Clearly not as easy as it sounds.  I have a 73 Charger SE.

Thanks for posting some old pictures of the project.  I'm hoping to get my bumpers back from the chrome shop on Friday, so I'll get you some updated finished pictures to post of the car painted.    Thanks for all the great comments guys.

like pete said check out his third gen site  your charger doesnt appear to be a se maybe you removed the louvered quarter window cover things?

[bad88t-top]

Nope, that is an SE.  You could get that roof option on 73 SE's.  Just not as common as the regular with the opera windows.

[Charger_Fan]

Well, I usually try to load pics on my pic host site, but it seems to be down today, so I'm attaching them to our site.
Beautiful '70, Man!!

[rav440]

  cool another member from PITTSBURGH  where about in PITTSBURGH are you from thats a supe nice looking CHARGER 

[bad88t-top]

Thanks for posting the pictures for me.  I'm very pleased with the way the car turned out.  It's been a 30 year project and finally done the way it's suppose to be.  I'm from Gibsonia, PA.  North Hills of Pittsburgh.  Can't wait to get it out to the first Church cruise in Wexford Friday night.  Then to the Mopar Nat's in August.

[jdiesel33]

Dang, Very nice 70 Charger. Welcome aboard. I live in Dallas, but am a HUGE Steelers fan. My dad was from there so he passed on the love of the Black and Gold and the love of Chargers. Hope there are some more Steelers fan on the site.

[bad88t-top]

Absolutely.  That's why the Charger was originally black and gold.  WHen the Steelers and Pirates both won the championship in 79, the gold got added to the original black paint.  Pittsburgher's are now in Penguin mode.  The Steelers will have to wait until the next week is over and the Pen's bring home the cup.   haha

[bad88t-top]

Oh yea,   You mentioned you were from Dallas.   Did you see the Beautiful B5 six pack car on ebay now from the Dallas area.   Very nice car.  I wish I had the money, I'd have a stable full of 70's.   

[jdiesel33]

I have now. Damn, that is a nice!!!! I havnt seen that one rolling around!!!!
