Illinois Chargers

[426HemiCharger]

I want to see how many Chargers are in Illinois.  Just like Johnny SixPack: running, not running don't matter.  I want you to put up your Charger (if your in Illinois).


This is mine

Nah, they are on the way to somewhere.  They wouldn't be on the way to the crusher on such a nice car carrier.

I thought you are doing a Challenger?

[426HemiCharger]

Challenger, huh?

[1970Moparmann]

Ryan, what is the Devil and Colt picture.  Is it Mopar City and where Larry lives??

[paironines]

Mine came from Illinois originally but resides in Indiana so I guess I should just hang back on this post. It originally was almost identical to Ryan's car.

[TheAutoArchaeologist]

I have the 71 Challenger as my main project, the 69 is another project, I also have a 70 Barracuda that I'm putting the Hemi I have eventually, a dart, duster, RamCharger, Caprice and I'm getting a 09 Challenger R/T Classic.  Hunting for cars, I pick up the ones I can afford.

Colt picture?

Elmhurst, Illinois.  Just took out my 71 Bee yesterday for the local St Patty's parade.  I was actually stunned that it started right up after not looking at it since October...

Looks like there should be a meet somewhere this summer..

[426HemiCharger]

That's an excellent idea but where?

[1970Moparmann]

That's an excellent idea but where?

I'll see about starting a poll to see who would be interested.   Once we have an idea,  I can stop by some places and make arrangements.

Here's a shot of mine during a tour through Chicago.  It's originally a TN car, and I've been moving all over IL for the last 5 or 6 years with it, currently located in the southern suburbs.

That's looking sweet, looks alot different then the last time I saw it!  It was interesting that I just happen to find you, in the whole city, I find another member randomly.

Very cool, I gotta find the pic of the car back then.

I love that picture.  It makes me miss living in Chicago. 

That street is at the end of the Chicago marathon as you go thru McCormick Center.  I never want to do that again!   

[Chargerless]

I dont own a Charger (yet) but I do live in Illinois 
I would also like to come to any Illinois Charger meeting just to check out all the cars!

Your first post - WELCOME!  We'll let you know if/when it is planned!

[426HemiCharger]

We all would need to pitch in to make a meet possible.

Yeah, that was funny.  It's not exactly like I lived on a busy street at the time either.  (For everyone else who doesn't know wtf we're referring to, I was working on my Charger in  my garage about 3 years ago when a car in the street came to a screeching halt and backed up to check out what was going on.   Turned out to be the devil himself.)  The only other place I've "randomly" met board members was @ monster mopar near St. Louis, and I suppose the odds are a bit skewed down there.

Thanks, I got a few good shots that day.  Here's another.  You wouldn't have missed it too much if you were there with me fighting the traffic and getting into verbal altercations with the a-hole bus drivers heading in and out of McCormick.  Good times.     I was sure I was going to get a ticket or arrested or something for being on park property before I got this shot.  Luckily I escaped with my freedom....

New to the forum. Been looking around a bit as I'm adding an SSBC front disc kit, now found out the booster is bad. A lot of good info in this forum. I'll try to add a pic. This is my one and only Charger. Actually my first car. I've had it for 32 years!

Welcome to the site!  Wow, 32 years-that's awesome.   Car looks great. Are you in IL?

I'm looking into converting my front brakes also.  Still researching on what to do...

[426HemiCharger]

Is this it?  Come one we gotta see more Chargers!!!

Thanks mopar nut, I took a long time to choose the Welds and they worked out. The best part of the house is the garage!    



I notice a lot of you guys are in the Chicago suburbs.

I am in the Rock Valley Chapter of the Chicago Mopar Club  There are different shows sponsored by chapters in the suburbs throughout the spring and summer. Check out
www.chicagolandmopar.com/     We could just pick one of their shows to meet at. Maybe post our DC names on our windshields or something like that.         

[41husk]

I have a 68 and 73 there were some pics posted up somewere but not sure now the 73 is sublime super bee clone with a ram charger hood (the wanna bee) the 68 is qq1 blue with white tail stripes (not an R/T, I just liked the stripe) I live in Granite City (near St Louis MO.)

[426HemiCharger]

There is this Charger from IL, will anyone step up to claim it

Yes, I am in IL. Having booster issues with the replacement. Check my post in brakes and suspension.

[1970Moparmann]

Not mine, but I'll claim it . I'm kind of impartial to no vinyl tops!

[426HemiCharger]

me too!!!

[chargerhardtop69]

Hey that's my T7 Bronze '69 R/T in the pictures taken in Madison Wis. in 2005. My good friend that now has the Turbine Bronze '68 with the Welds then owned the blue '70 Charger 500 parked next to me that day. Pretty nice to find photos of my beloved car online.

[426HemiCharger]

Ah!!! We have an owner 

[426HemiCharger]

OK, This Charger was a Mr. Norm's Charger so it counts.  Come on owner claim it!

[426HemiCharger]

Still waiting for the owner to claim this one!!!

That car is almost an exact twin to my car...   

[Ryan]

Illinois Chargers-



And.....

Haha, that looks just like my 68

[Purple Haze]

Here's a couple of pics of my Charger.  I'm out in the southwestern suburbs of Chicago.  I'm trying to find out which Dealership sold this car.  The original owner was Victor Daniels from Tinley Park, IL.  Any help?

[Charger440RDN]

I live in Bloomington, IL and you just never see chargers in this area. Every now and then you see a few at a car show. I'm sure when these cars were new the salt and snow here ate up a lot of Chargers , that's why the south and the west are better for old cars, NO SALT ON THE ROAD IN THE WINTER!!

There are way to many pictures to post here, I would be hijacking the thread with about 2 pages worth! However, I do have my restoration on a separate thread here.
