That t-shirt brings back some memories. The drawing is cool, didn't find the car today. I did find and get a '71 Demon w/no motor/trani' for free w/no title already gutted it tonight and a '69 Valiant w/a /6 not currently running for free also w/a title. I have a running /6 to put in it this weekend though. I'll email photos to you in a while that I did take. Still can't post them here for some damn reason.

Lifelone ALaskan and Mopar nut here. I remember a lot of the cars discussed and know a few of the guys, at least the ones still here. I've got a short video clip of the GTX in Seward, my buddy owned the V8 pinto and such. Got cruising video of Northern Lights in the late 80's and polar raceway too!

Don't know the '67...but I remember a Plum Crazy '71 (or '72) Charger running Polar.......it was cool to watch it launch, cause the whole car LIFTED when it took off......musta had Super Stock springs.....I have it on VHS..
I always took a video camera with me to the drags! Remember how dusty that old track was??? And the left lane was rough near the end too! There was a good looking gal that worked the lanes as well..... :icon_smile_big:

How 'bout Alaska's fastest Cat......the green '68 or so Cougar running on Alky? Also a REAL HARD running white '70 Challenger....glass front end, tubbed....drag only....

All this reminessing almost brings a tear to my eye.........I miss AK sometimes.......except for the cold and Skeeters........


I try to go home every year since I am in the Military, but one year saying 2007 walking behind the Diamond center there was a 71 Charger SuperBee Plum Crazy it was locked up in the service area for the mall.  Mopars are up there mine was there for about a year or so then restoration started again.

True Stories: When I was in Junior High School, I live in a neighborhood of Anchorage named Mountain View.  This is back in the 70's. We had to walk 5 or 6 blocks to school and we used to see a guy driving his 70 superbird to work most days. It was beat up and needed body work but wasn't too horrible. Fast forward to 1980. My brother and I were/are mopar nuts and he had heard to the only hemi car in town, a blue 1968 Charger RT. My brother took me over to his house and I asked if I could see under the hood. Man, blew my socks off! A real live hemi. In a charger no less. The guy had another slightly beat up 68 charger he was trying to sell. He said the original rear end was gone, replaced by a 8 3/4 and it's original engine was missing. A 383 resided where the original engine was. $1500.00. I was interested until he told me the engine was knocking. Well, I'm 15 and still riding my 10 speed. I was working at Mcdonalds and 1500 seemed like a lot back then. I passed on the car. In fact, he couldn't sell it so he took it  to the junk yard. Yup, it was an original hemi charger. Could have been mine! If only hindsight was 20/20!  Ironically, the guy with the Superbird lived right around the corner from him. Years later, someone in Palmer bought the Superbird, restored it and someone in California bought it for $18,000.00 which also seemed like a lot back then! Though I drive a 69 Coronet now, I did manage to buy my first car, a 69 Charger a few months after missing out on the deal of my lifetime! It's all good now, and I've made many friends, but my mopar brothers are the best!
