Sure was.  Looked like one hell of a driver.

Man I love 2nd gens in silver w/ the black stripe.

thanks for posting

Check the cover.....they advertise the story of two '70 Hemi Charger 500s which would be a real discovery and naturally caught my interest....however as you can see they are '69 Charger 500s. As a Mopar magazine you'd think they could get it right? 

[hemi68charger]

That's sharp..... Our C500's are getting the recognition they deserve..

I have never seen so much Charger 500 buzz as there is in the air right now.  It is definitely that cars turn!

[69_500]

I still like the silver car. I think I'm going to give them a call about that car on Monday, and see what it would take for them to sell the car. Would make one heck of a nice driver car. Could have a lot more fun with that than the current 500 I have.

Damn straight,its about time.

[69_500]

Ah come on now, how long have you been waiting for them to receive their due?

Only about 36 years right?

Hey !!!  you calling me old Danny?...    ..... 
Well, I guess so, I was only 5 years old driving around in my Dad's Daytona....

No not calling anyone here old. Just was a comment to Highbank since he has owned his 500 since new, and has definately been waiting a long time for them to get some recognition.

Then again you are almost 20 years older than I am Troy.

I know.. jerking your young chain.....  Damn, 20 years and you already have a C500........  You're WAY ahead of the curve....

[Charger_Fan]

That's great! I'm definitely gonna have to snag that issue...even if they do call them 70's.

Danny, that would be too cool if you were to end up getting that silver car!

Has anyone noticed the decline in the quality of "Mopar Muscle" magazine. My last issue was half as thick as my "Mopar Collectors Guide".
I hate that this magazine has gone downhill and hope that they turn it around. Once upon a time the mag was full of nice photos and took a while to read from front to back...now I read it from front to back the first time that I open it. We certainly don't need to lose another magazine at this point. MCG on the other hand is a great magazine that just seems to get better and better with each issue.

Ah now its back and working. I have tried for over 2 hours to type this response.

Yeah I might be a little ahead of the curve for a 500 owner in todays terms. But I'm about 30 years behind the curve for having a chance to buy one when they weren't so darn expensive.


I wish I was about 15 years older, I would have bought up the same cars 20 years ago. Then again if I was 15 years older I would be 42 now.

Well now Danny, if I remember what you paid for your C500, that was STILL pretty impressive..  You did pretty good there fella...  But, you are right in the fact that us "older" fellas did have the opportunity in getting these when they were cheaper.. But, like you, I had to pay a premium for mine  4 years ago.. But, in today's dollars, it's chump-change..... The '70 I bought and later traded for the '68 Hemi Charger I have was one of those situations of getting something "cheap"...................

Think of it like this, you'll be around longer to enjoy yours... hahaha

[69_500]

Well to me I didn't have to pay that much for my car. I was willing to pay much more, just that the bank account didn't allow it.

Yeah I always say that in another 30 years I'll probably be at an Annual DSAC club meeting or maybe a Talladega event in 2034 and I'll be one of like say 20 owners there. If there is even that many of us interested in these cars for what they really are and not just for monetary values.

I wasn't aware that you just got Dana 4 years ago. Seems like it would have been longer than that. Then again I just got mine a little over a year ago, and had the sunroof car for almost 2 years. But who knows, I don't ever intend to sell the 500 unless the right Daytona comes along, or possibly for a 4 speed 500.

[PocketThunder]

i'm 30.  bought my C500 when i was 28.  hopefully i'll actually drive it before i'm 38.     Kid(s) are coming into the family now and i might be putting the C500 on the back burner for awhile.  I'm actually thinking of re-assembling it and driving it around unrestored as is....  That way some of the rust can fall off when i hit bumps. ...

[69_500]

Your 30 Pocket? Man and I thought that I had atleast one other person who had a 500 that was younger than me. I was for sure you were younger than I am. I hear ya about having the kids and putting things on a back burner. We have the 2 year old boy and are trying to have another one. Seems that 500 owners on here lately have been doing pretty good at having children. With you, and now Troy expecting a child, I guess I have a good shot of having another kid.

[Charger Aficionado]

Hey.  I resemble that remark...  I'm 29, and Got mine at 28 (around a year and a half ago)...  We got something in common  

[Big Lebowski]

I'd be insulted if my rare $200,000 '69 Charger 500 was described not rare $8000 '70 Charger 500. What was Mopar Muscle thinking on that day?

[WINGMAN]
