I feel MorePwr's pain.  Sometimes I feel like I'm the only Charger owner in the entire state.  I do know where there are a couple more in the area, but mine is the ONLY one ever seen on the road.  I've seen only one other '66 - '74 Charger "in the wild" in more than 5 years.

About two weeks ago while out driving my Charger, I happened to see a Li'l Red Express out and about.  We both went ga-ga over each others rides and gave each other the big  :2thumbs:

Around here, seeing any muscle mopar on the road is a treat, even though there is no shortage of classic rides.  Unfortunately, they're mostly Chebbies  :icon_smile_dead:

Well...I drive mine every day...... :icon_smile_big:

I REALLY wish people would stop following me around town, into parking lots, my house, trying to talk to me, cheer at me, race, or buy my car as I'm driving it. 

Actually, I dig the attention so nevermind... ;)

Yeah, I was out in the "69 about 2 weeks ago and got a flat. :icon_smile_blackeye:

While I was on the side of the road someone stopped and asked if I wanted to sell it. ::)

My standard answer is $50,000.00 for the "69.  :icon_smile_big:

That's the same answer the guy who followed me into the DQ a week ago got. :pity:

But it turned out he was a nice enough guy and in fact is mid-resto on a "70 R/T. :2thumbs:

Man, I can't wait till my "70 is back in the road. :yesnod:

I'll never forget the look on the face of the guy who followed into a McD's and asked me how much for my "70. :icon_smile_approve:

My answer... $1,000,000.00. :D

Love doin' that with a straight face.  :devil:

Charger1973

Was out working on my 73 just yesterday in the driveway and looked up to see a 73 or 74 SE driving by  on the highway.  It was blue with a white top (vinyl removed but still had the louvers) and white interior.  Had never seen it before, wondered if it was maybe a board member?  I know the driver couldnt see me or my car since theres so many other cars around it at the moment, but I definately saw him go by. Im in central Iowa by the way.

I thought there was a little hotbed of old Mopars up there in the Pacific northwest?   That just doesn't seem right.
All you Seattle Charger owners start driving your cars more.  Now.

I see a few at car shows, so I know they are here, so I agree, start driving em. I do see a fair share of nice Mopars just not any Chargers on the road...

Where'd you hear that, Ghoste? The Great NW is a friggin' "No Classic Mopar Zone" as far as I can tell. There's enough classic Chevys and Fords to reach the moon bumper to bumper but Mopar stuff up here is very hard to come by.

I saw a black 70 last summer and a few other since then but they were on the way to the local shows. The 70 was just out driving around on a weekday, it may have been someone from the base. Wright Patterson AFB.

Sarcasm detector, that's a real good invention.

Hey Bull, bumper to bumper brand X cars are like that right across the continent.  It just seemed to me that there are a fair number of Charger owners on this site and the 66-67 site from that corner of the US.

Saw a mostly black primered 70 on the west side of Indy last night. Looked nice
with some big rear tires on it. Always fun t see em on the road  :icon_smile_approve:

funny the v. top is in good shape and the scallops are highlighted in black, sho is tow up tho...  :icon_smile_sad:

terrible one

WOW! Look at that drivers side front quarter!

Gotta love that though. I know I'll be running around town in my beater of a Charger soon!

Sweet T

That's pretty rough for an Alberta car(as the plate says).  Good to see any Charger running, no matter what shape it's in.  Talking about shape, I'm not impressed with the B.S. repairs I've been finding on mine since I started dismantling it.  The drivetrain is out and most of the front end.  Just working one last fender bolt.  Pictures soon.
No, it ain't a Hemi.....thank God!
