I agree with you about doing it yourself with the Cragar's.  It has only happened one time (Big O) since I had the flat on the road with no spare.  When I bought the car, it had the 14" rims on the front - haven't bothered to go to the expense of moving up to 15".  However, I need new rims for my 1968 Charger we are working on and am definitely going with 15" rims all around.   Hauling two different sized spares around doesn't get it
I'm not totally certain about the availability of specific spacing on the Cragar's.  The reason I mentioned it was my son works for a specialty wheel and tire store and he said he thought he had seen Cragar's with specific spacing.  You could probably go to their site and ask if they do.

Thanks, been to their site and sellers sights. They make a few of the sizes in a 5" only spacing for certain applications in the classic SS wheels but only list the  ones we would need in a 4 1/2, 4 3/4, 5" multi-spacing. In other words....unilug!  I think they would still be just fine and they look fantastic on Chargers!  Gonna give them some serious thought!

Thanks again and yours is really nice!          Carl

I have not looked at it. But I know a few guys that work on the CVCA and will see if I can get a peak at the car and take some good pics to post. My friend told me that it is a 440 but is not an HP. They claim it is built to HP specifics though. The car audio place (Stokes) that is doing the sound system.  They do very good work.I am shore it will not be stock but should look good. I was told it runs good.  I just hope its not like the Camaro RS convert they gave away a few years ago.  The car was shyt. Needed allot of work.  But it is still worth taking for tax only.  This is the first mopar they have gave away.  So are you living here in Utah?  There are allot of good mopar guys here.  Talk to you later.

C_stripes - you have another PM.

Now that I got the 3:23 sure grip I have the back end to support that statement....lol

You guys should try to make it up here for one or two if you can.. Would be great seeing you again too

Now if we can only convince Mark to put some Cragar SS's on his 68 well be all set.

Nice pics, Carl!
I'll be there later today, looks like it's a nice show this year. I'll stop & say hi if I see ya.

Another one for you 1970 guys - red 1970 R/T.  440 auto column shifter.  Front rims - 17"; Rear rims 18"

If that is the one I'm thinking of, it's a base model (XH) car, semi-cloned to an R/T.
Here's a shot of it from last year's Miller Mopar show.



The plain taillight panel, bench seat & lack of upper door pads are all base model stuff. Still a good looking car, though.



Here's a couple shots I got last year of the Cruise-In giveaway car. I'm definitely gonna be there this year for a chance at winning that baby too!

nice pics and cars, i didn't know base cars in '70 didn't get upper door pads,.. is that right?.   
as one old guy to another, post some pics of your other two chargers please... 

[daytonalo]

Was that 70 Challenger Omaha ( 999) orange ??

[C_stripes]

On the challenger.  If it is the one I am 99% shore it is.  Its a clone.  I think that Autocare collision repair did the resto.  It may have been Wolfords though. I think that Wolfords are the ones that did the paint on the give away car as well.  I can find out.  I will see what info I can get on the challenger too.  I know the Hawkers pretty good. If any of you race up at firebird race way in Nampa ID you probably know their Challengers and the Stokes boys Dart GTS. I would say that the Hawkers are probably the best engine builders here in the local area.  The also have a 68 camaro SS drag car.

Anyway.  I'll see what I can find out about the Chally and the give away car.

Autorama ended this evening.  Didn't get there until around 5:00pm when they were handing out awards.  Awards ceremony went until 7:30pm and afterwards everyone was hot to get out of there - so, didn't get a chance to take anymore pics.  All the Mopars from the MOU club were given awards
Maybe Charger Fan was able to take a few pics.

[OldGuy]

Okay - The prez of Mopars of Utah took a boat load of pictures at the Autorama.  See the link below - enjoy

Is that R/T an orig silver car??  Looks like a great project.

[8WHEELER]

Hope you had a good time Carl, looks like a bunch of sweet mopars    the Seattle Roadster show
was this last weekend as well, I did not go this year, but there is never more than 4 mopars at the hole show 

If I was closer, I would have wanted to go to your show, Take care Carl.

Yes, original paint is sliver - black vinyl top and black interior.  We are working on the 1968, 383 first to give my son experience for when he restores the R/T.
