My favorite piece is this pool table lamp.  My wife made it for me... "just because"! Yes, I am a lucky man!

What else is out there?

Shakey

Your Wife made that for you?  Very talented!  Yes, you are lucky and the light is cool also.

As far as Mopar memorabilia that I have, nothing too much.  I do have a Direct Connection parts catalouge from 1971 with all of their "hustle stuff" listed and also a whole pile of Car & Driver magazines from 1966 - 1974.  I know they are not Mopar specific, but still kinda neat!

That light is pretty cool......your wife is very talented!

The headlight effect does it for me, That is very cool..

i have a richard petty commemorative cereal box unopened from 3 years ago, you hungry? :D

oh, i also have a dodge brothers emblem that was located on the grille of a 32 dodge bros roadster.  Someday it may find its way on the grille of my charger, just need to get it refurbished.

I've got a pair of scat pack tie tack pins and a couple of white hat keychains.   I bought those from an auction of a former dodge dealer who was retiring.   I wish I could have bought the 1969 Coronet RT convertible promo model he had (it went for $300).   I also have an orginal 1966 Hemi Plymouth owner's manual (front cover is not the best, but the rest is good) as well as a full set of 1968-70 orginal owner's manuals for both Coronets, Superbees and Chargers.   I also have some of the old dodge magazines.   Unfortunately, I missed out on the two scat pack lighted signs that were thrown away at the Plymouth dealership that my grandfather worked at....

My best automotive memorabilia is not a Mopar, but ford:   I got an mint orginal 1964 ford dealership shop manual insert with the new mustang info released the month (April) that the car was introduced.   I also have a 1966 Chitlins (sic) manual for the ford mustang and a 1966 dealership award (silver candy dish) for the "Ford 500 club" for dealers who sold over their quota in that year.   I got that one at a garage sale for $1..........

Well I don't think that I have anything that would follow under the category of "no one else has one." I have two copies of the Dealer Data Book from 1969 for Dodge and both copies have the 69 Charger 500 insert page. I picked up the second one in hopes to find someone with the Color and upholstery book for 1969 and trade them, but to no avail so far.

I've got to think about where I stashed a couple of promotional car keys so I can take a photo, but I wanted to say the light your wife made looks great. My wife used to do a lot of stained glass projects, windows & such, but hasn't done anything in ages. Maybe that light will spark an idea for her next one.

I have a 1949 Dodge Ram hood ornament that I want to mount on a piece of walnut and put on my desk one of these days. the 40's and 50's hood ornaments were all pretty cool looking

Back in the late '60's, for a few years Dodge dealers put out commemorative race sets in 1/32 scale. In '67, '68, & '69 they were produced by a company called Eldon (I think) and had variations from year to year- one year was a stunt jump, one year was high-banked track, and in '70 they put out a mini drag strip complete with tree and simulated 4 speed controllers. I have all 4 sets still complete and stored in my basement, although the boxes have gotten a little beat up over the years. .

I have a set of prints hanging in the mopad I got from a local dealer about 15 years ago.  They are pretty cool bu not one of a kind.

I have the fender and dash tags from a 70 Challenger RT 'vert that i wrecked back in the 80's JS27UOB... that I want to mount on a display plaque with the before and after pics of the car. Also have a collection of Mopar Collectors Guide, Musclecar Review and Chrysler Power mags that date from the early 80's.

Great looking painting there Chris.

I was sitting here and thinking today of anything else that might be kind of rare, and couldn't really come up with anything. The AVON Daytona bottles aren't exactly rare, but I do have 14 of them. So I know that atleast in this house they aren't rare.
I have a 69 Dealer Promo Charger that is red. Its not in the greatest shape, but is is all complete. Does anyone know of  they made a Dealer PROMO car of a 500 or a Daytona? Or just the 69 Charger?



Ah I got it. I know this is something that I have that no one else has. I have a broadcast sheet to a 69 Charger 500 with the VIN of XX29L9B224393. :)


ChargerBill

I have an original ScatPack club patch...probably not very rare.

An original 71 Challenger Owners Manual

An original Six Pack decal

How about a Snake Cuda Funny Car Hot Wheel?

and something I'm pretty confident that none of you have:

I ended up getting that one from eGouge that DCG found. I wish it had something better than the checkered flags on the side of it.

Other than that, I've got an old metal "Mopar" sign from the fifties stashed in my garage attic somewhere.

The Aquamax...yes, this bike spent 2 nights underwater one weekend. (Not my doing), but it gained the name, and has since become pseudo-famous. :)

RD, I don't have a pic of mine right now but here is one showing a bunch......the one I have is like the 1948-1951 example.


FourSpeedRT

I have a display item that was used on showroom floors in 1955,or 1956 to show the new pushbutton PowerFlite transmission. It is a pod that the buttons are mounted in,sitting on a pale yellow pyramid shaped stand that says "Try Me". I can post a pic of it if anyone wants.....I have had it for years...the local Chrysler dealer had it stashed away,and when they closed in 1975, the partsman asked if I wanted it......because if I didn't,it was headed for the trash bin.

I have a set of those too. Never took them out of the tube after I looked at them. Saw a set on Ebay for like $200.00 a few years ago.

I think I might have some old Direct Connection catalogs from way back then too.
Also have a collection of the funky ads that were in the mags inthe 60's, y'know they Rapid Transit ads etc?

I have seen that before.  Very cool!  I like how it also holds 4 bottles of wine.

Hi Guys, My father was a C/P dealer from the 50s and I have the orignal Red Ram V-8 neon signs that hung in the dealers windows. It must be about 4X4 feet and is actually two signs so it could be viewed from both inside and out. Its pretty neat with the big rams horns in red neon. A couple of tubes need to be repaired, but over all in great shape.
