[FlatbackFanatic]

a couple for Cody, and you might know this car too. Pictures of Troys car do not do it justice, it is a beautiful car.

[69bronzeT5]

Wow, LOTS of nice cars there. Thanks for the Superbee pictures! I recognize the blue '70 with the blue stripes. It was for sale not long ago.

[FlatbackFanatic]

Oh ya. I had to empty my drool bucket a few times

[TUFCAT]

That Sox and Martin race trailer loaded with cars is awesome! Also, I know the black 68 Charger with Billet Mag 500 wheels belongs to someone here---and I can't remember his screen name right now. NICE CAR - - AND I LOVE THE WHEELS! 

[69CoronetRT]

I recognize the blue '70 with the blue stripes. It was for sale not long ago.

It still is. That was in the car corral. It's a 6bbl column shift automatic with bench seat. They were asking $59.9

It was a GREAT show today. The white Daytona was georgeous!

The building with Vanke, Lilly, Grotheer and Sox display was fun. Judy Lilly stayed busy all day.

I almost ran out of 69 and 70 registry cards. There seemed to be A LOT of 68's running around too.

I'm going back tomorrow to see what else shows up and take more pictures.

[General_01]

Thanks for the pics Kurt. That was a great show. Good seeing you again. I will see you at Anoka.

[1970Moparmann]

Yes you are right!....."Timmy" Is his handle on here, Hes one of two Tim Ryans from minne-St Paul.

[General_01]

That's it. "Timmy".

The other Tim was there, but he had to take off before this pic was taken.

FlatbackFanatic(Kurt) was not around at the moment, but his car is in that row of '66-'67 Chargers in one of his first set of pics. ITSA426 (Lee) has a few cars in that row also along with his brother and son. Quite a good turnout from the DC.com board there. 

[FlatbackFanatic]

No problem with adding pictures, if anybody else has some post away.

I thought Id add the pics My 13 years old daughter Hanna took. I hope its ok with the tread starter,if not Ill move them.

here is some 1st gens....

[SnoPro440]

It was cool meeting you guys today!      I had a blast and so did the kids (minus all the dust).  I'll be there tomorrow but not with the Charger.  I have to find a new engine harness before I drive it anymore    

Thanks again Brian for helping me out!

[tan top]

looks to of been a awesome show    good pictures  , thanks for posting

[ITSA426]

Hey Lee, did you get your convertible back? 

Q brought the convertible back safe and sound.  Inside was one sunburned young lady who fell asleep almost as soon as she hit the sofa.  Quintin fell asleep in the car on the way back to his parents.  I saw him briefly this morning but when I went back to thank his parents for lending him to me all I saw were their tail lights as they pulled away.

So Stuart when you catch this, thanks.  You've got a great kid there.  Looking forward to next time already.

[PocketThunder]

And Stuarts youngest son Ian was nice enough to show my son where the hot wheels car vendor was in the swap area so he could pick out a couple cars to buy.  Stu you've got nice real nice boys there.. 

Nice to meet you and the rest of the Winged Warriors..   

Paul


I tell ya what, my car was the most beat up junker out there in the line up of Aero cars but there was a crowd of guys around it all day.  They would look at the /6, then the dash, then the back window, then the dash vin again, then the /6, then scratch their heads... it was hillarious to just sit one car over with my friends and watch..   

[FJMG]

   Shoot Paul I wish I knew you were closeby, my fave was the child seat, I wonder how many of us rode in a 500 at your son's age (besides you Danny). I came with the 68 S/S dart and 67 coronet (16,000 orig. miles). I would have brought my chair, some Canadian beer to share and joined in the fun. One of the guys in my group was one of those head-shakers, until I told him that after I saw your car on DC.com I was getting two /6's, joining them both at the crank bore to make a V-12 and putting that in my Daytona. He needed to switch to long island iced tea after that comment.
   I have been going annually for a few years now and look forward to every year. You guys know how to put on a show. The organization was incredible. One of our cars was not pre-registered and the entry process was still flawless and quick. I tip my hat to the midwest mopars!!!

I was only hanging around my car from about 12:30 till 3:00. and even then we were out walking around the show and back and forth to the car.  But i'll be there next year so i'll try and meet you then..    And i'll be sure to bring a small tent for some SHADE!!!!  Man i am a little crispy this morning.

It was great seeing you again , I also  agree first year for me at  this show, and it  was very well organized  curt told me they had over 1000 cars this year and it went flawlessly. 

[66chargerkid]

Thanks for letting me barrow the car I had a blast.
Might I say that sig looks really good. Photos are already to post so I am sure they will be up tonight.
I had a blast and maybe one day I can add my car to the 1st gen crowd

[GPULLER]

Too bad I didn't get to talk to you guys.  Just meet Kurt, and only talked briefly.  Guess there is always next year.
Here are my pictures of the Bloomington Ghost.  Keith is a great guy!

[TUFCAT]

Your mauve 426 hemi Charger is sweet!!  The silver 66 Coronet convertible parked next you looks nice too! (.....and judging by the big chrome air cleaner it also has a hemi!)

[GPULLER]

Tuffcat
Wish that was my car!  That is the Bloomington Ghost, one of two mauve Hemi Chargers built in '66.  That one has 8,000 miles on it.
The owner was nice enough to let us sit in it and get some pictures.

[TUFCAT]

Yep....I've seen the Bloomington Ghost in magazine articles - and it's a serious piece of Mopar history. 

[Ghoste]

Did Keith say anything about why he is selling it?

[1970Moparmann]

I saw it at one of the Charger Registry meets back in 2001, I think-VERY NICE!!   

[moparstuart]

Did Keith say anything about why he is selling it?

    ......... good pictures Paul  , i saw a bit of that car in another photo , thanks for taking the picture of the whole car for me    looks sort of unrestoredish
           

[Ghoste]

Is the Mr. Norms car "the one" or a replica?  "The one" exists but I didn't think it was ever taken out of storage.

[FlatbackFanatic]

I don't know if it was or not. They did have a lot of cars in their area, one of those new Hemi Dart GSS that they have made, it was very nice.
