awesome chargers Guys  , keep the pictures coming 

THat was referred to as the "mopar building." One side was 6 pack cars and one side were hemi cars. He also had a 1972 six pack car. I actually sat in it. I have more pics of the yard. I used to go all the time.

Is that bagged? What suspension do you have to make it sit that low?

Nope, no airbags. I have the full Hotchkis TVS suspension. So cranked down the 1" torsion bars up front with the right adjustments to the control arms and struts to have it sit low and not destroy the tires and out back the leaf springs are prelowered 2 inches.

I have just a tad over 1 degree of negative camber, just what Hotchkis recommends. I have about 8000 miles on these tires and they still look brand new, no signs of any unusual wear.

My Charger 500

[RangerDan440]

heres my semi-survivor, semi-driven-daily 318 car (and it will stay that way).  227K miles, engine has never been rebuilt, mostly original paint and can be driven anywhere anytime.

I love it! That's fantastic. A Charger that you can drive anywhere, anytime, has got to be a nice thing to have in the garage...

I know mpg is a moot point when driving a Charger but when its used for a daily driver what are you getting with this car?

I'm not sure I want to know, I drive mine all the time with a 440 and better mpg would be nice!

Thanks for the compliments guys, I really appreciate it.  I cant complain about the mpg-other than a Pertronix ignition, its a completely stock 318/904/2.76s and at 65 mph it will get right around 20 mpg and probably 13-15 around town.  Its a great road car, very quiet and comfortable and Ive driven it all up and down the east coast.  The rust in the quarters is getting too hard to ignore so I will have to patch them, maybe this winter, and shoot a new coat of B5.  The 318 is at 227K on all its original pistons, rings, and rods and other than burning a little oil around the valve guides, it is rock solid and reliable.  I want to see if I can get it to 300K without a rebuild.

Quick story about the car-Im in the Coast Guard and I like I said I drive it almost daily (usually not in the rain and never on the rare occasion it snows here) and when I went out to one of the Cutters last week, one of the young Coasties, he couldnt have been more than 18 or 19-from the boat came running up to the Charger with his mouth wide open and this look of amazement on his face.  He says "WHOA IS THAT A REAL 69 DODGE CHARGER???!!!"
I said "yeah, youve never seen one before?"
He answers "no sir not in real life!  Just on TV or the movies!"

So I gave him the keys.  He had never driven a car without power steering and brakes before so he only drove it around the parking lot but I think he will name his first born after me.

That was his first exposure to a classic Mopar musclecar (yes I know its a 'only' 318 but to him its a musclecar) 

Drive your cars guys!

Glad to hear you enjoy your car and let others do as well.  Let's keep them on the road.
