Another very nice vert.  I find it quite ironic how many convertible Mopars there are here in Minnesota.  I didn't see nearly so many when I was trolling shows in California in my younger days. 

[Vainglory, Esq.]

This was a very nice Hemi GTX.  Had a license plate that I appreciate as well: "KNGKONG"

[Vainglory, Esq.]

Yep, another vert.  They're everywhere.

[Vainglory, Esq.]

An original, unrestored survivor.  Looked great for its age, too.

[Vainglory, Esq.]

"Deluxe" Viper hood prop.  Gave me a chuckle.

[Vainglory, Esq.]

What's that you say?  You want to see more convertibles?

[Vainglory, Esq.]

No more convertibles.  Okay, one more convertible.

[Vainglory, Esq.]

Real V-code 'Cuda.

[Vainglory, Esq.]

In contention for the best man cave out there.  Way in the back, that's a real hemi Challenger.  Oh, and the Coronet ...a convertible.

[Vainglory, Esq.]

And I'll close it out with another one of mine, because I'm that guy.

[BigBlockSam]

The unrestored one?  IIRC it's actually T3, "honey bronze."

Those are all very nice cars, looks like it's a quality MOPAR'S car show there... Thanks for sharing...

I just saw that there is an all mopar show there on Sept. 17th. 

I was there.  I got there a little late, so I was stuck between an AMC Hornet and a Neon.    Bet that guy in the Neon had some feelings of inadequacy because the car on the other side of him was a Hemi too.  Ha.

I wonder which would be faster?  A stock hemi Charger or a Neon SRT4?

I'll look it up...

The 1970 Dodge Charger R/T Hemi  http://musclecars.howstuffworks.com/classic-muscle-cars/1970-dodge-charger-r-t-hemi.htm

Per car and Driver  http://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/car/02q4/dodge_neon_srt-4-road_test


One look reveals the probable character of the beast, so let's just cut right to the quick. The Neon SRT-4 rips to 60 mph in 5.6 seconds, to 100 in 13.8, covers a quarter-mile in 14.2 seconds at 102 mph, and keeps on huffin' all the way to 153 mph.

Clearly, this is no ordinary Neon. An ordinary Neon — even a mildly breathed-on Neon, such as the R/T version we tested in November 2001 — hits 60 two seconds later (7.6), 100 mph nearly 10 seconds later (23.2), and the quarter-mile in 16.1 at 87. That particular Neon topped out at 125 mph.


Wow...so a 13.9 vs. a 14.2...maybe that Neon would have kicked your butt LOL.  Certainly would have come down to the drive at 0.3 tenths different.  Of course...yours might be modified...but so might his!

It's. A. Neon.

Your argument is invalid.

Um.... SCHWING!   

They should put a small B&B on the lot or across the street to serve all the rubberneckers.
