Mopar Run Auckland New Zealand October 2nd 2011

[Bob T]

Howdy Folks, I put on my annual Mopar Run last weekend, its about an hours drive through the rural countryside from a central meetpoint finishing at a YMCA 60 acre campground with a parkup/show n shine and a few prizes at the bbq afterwards. We had around 35 cars which was ok considering the marginal spring weather, usually closer to 50 is normal

This was the 4th one I have done and is a lot of fun with the people that come along with their cars and families.
Oddly enough though , I had to thumb a ride this year after selling my 68 back in January and the new ride is still around a month away.

The standout car for me was a mate of mines 1960 300F, what a Top Car and then another guy I know came along with his Hemi 300C 

On with the pics.

Some of the Aussie lineup
Yellow is a VJ Hardtop coupe with a Limo loop front bumper on it.
These two are Father and Son , the old boy has the Genuine LLimelight E55 Charger running a stout 400hp 340 built by the son , does mid 13's and the sons VJ 360 Charger is in ctiric Acid colour nearest camera, this was also him and his wifes wedding car
Bronze 71 VH Hardtop Valiant 245

The Gold 71 VH Pacer 265 4 speed won Best Australian , I used to have a Silver one, so a lot of good bias leaning towards that one.

A few more.
The white 71 Valiant Sedan has a turbo 318 and runs solids 13.3's . Nice . VG Pacer next to it.
440 powered 26? Dodge, just finished and on the maiden voyage, took best early award.
And a 51 Plymouth Cranbrook, pretty sharp

 Pretty sharp Coronet and the old Newport just rocks .
The people in the Pioneer just drive the wheels off it, I've seen it around heaps of times

[Bob T]

Fin -o-mania

Hood slightly up on the F to show the Ram setup earlier and I wasnt going to touch it to close it for the shot

[Bob T]

Rays 69 is 383 powered with a Bumblebee and Pauls 70 500 is also 383 290, painted it himself - real nice job and also has some magnums but goes with the wheelcovers now and then

68 Ragtop Dart GT
RR is 340 and also just finished on the road  

[Bob T]

The Chrysler 300 is just loaded with options , real nice car and the 2011 Challenger is owned by an fairly old guy who was in a wheelchair, he can drive alright I guess but dosent walk around much, good on him though, might as well have some fun in the twilight years than sit on cash in the bank
