[kokxville]

Yes,I "get" it!I just wish i was 10 years older,so i could remember those days 

[nvrbdn]

ah, those days. we had 8 guys that would cruise around together alot that were mopars.when we came up on someone on the side of the road with the hood up we would all pull over and walk up to the car and look under the hood. then one of us would say " gee, shoulda got a mopar" and walk away.

That's was cool,but in the eighties it was the other way around with the omni,horizon etc.Those cars were crap.
That's what i remember

I wasn't old enough to drive yet, but I can remember those cars lurking around when I was just a wee lad. I was born about 10 years too late.

Great site! I remember a lot of that stuff in the 70's and lucky for me I was able to drive on the tail end of that era in the 80's.

I remember when cars were jacked up and looked like Dogs sniffing the ground, even had a '65 Satellite with air shocks, traction bars, etc.

Drove it to HS in 1987. Still think Centerline Auto Drag wheels, satin finish, are the coolest wheels.
Boy, if i only knew what I know now back then, I might have been king-o-the hill instead of just another "Squirrel" at the local street scene.

...But THIS is what planet Earth looked like when I was younger...

I even spotted a familiar face on there...

Thanks for the walk down memory lane, Oh yes the bell bottoms & long hair, chemically altered states, jacked up cars, tunnel rams, scantily dressed promiscuous women of the late 60's to 70's era, I don't miss some of the circus paint jobs or the bell bottoms, but I do remember, "when sex was safe & racing was dangerous", I do miss the cars being available for reasonable prices, buying Charger's Roadrunner's GTX's Dart's Demon's Fury's Barracuda's Camaro's Mustang's 442's GS's, you name it all day long for $300-$1500 here in Calif., our parts suppliers shipping & availability, plus knowledge is much better now though...

bunch of sissy bitches with your traction bars and "ass up" stance!

...Me at age 16 the day I picked it up from a fresh Earl Sheib 1/2 off winter special, that's right, I paid 50 bucks for paint job.  1986:

Nice stack,
yeah, wish I had taken more photos too, film was expensive (it seemed at the time and I guess it was looking back). 

I had not thought about the pintos (& mav's etc) in a while, interesting to see photos again reminding me how common they were in the area at the time with 302s dropped in, cheap go fast and lots of novas/other cheby's, not that many mopars where I was (that I knew of). 

I remember dreaming of cars and girls in the 70s but didn't start drivin' until the 80s..............

Here is my first Charger, loved those slots..

[nvrbdn]

  thats funny. encasing it in paint.

[Indygenerallee]

Awesome! Im 32 and I remember as a little kid in the early 80's seeing as I would call them "Hot Wheels" because they had Hot wheels cars that had a lever that would raise the cars rear higher!!  If I did not build my General Lee I always wanted a 69 Daytona all jacked up on 15x10 Cragars on the rear and some 14x8 Cragars on the front give it that look!!!

[hemi68charger]

Very cool........ 

[Chryco Psycho]

Great site & memories 
I was able to snag a number of good deals on used cars but by the time I could drive the best new vehicles available were the Aspen R/T or Volare RR & the Warlock trucks , I did eventually get a Warlock , the bank turned me down 1/2 dozen times when I first tried to get one but I bought one in 85 , always prefered the Warlock to the Lil Red as you could option big blocks , manual trans & 4x4 into a Warlock , mine was an E58 360 4spd 4x4
