I really enjoy the rants, bullying, and no holes barred name-calling!
 

me too ,

We're a closer knit (I think) group than Moparts, so whenever someone feels the need to get on a stump and wave their angry fist, we mostly understand.  I think if someone new signed up and dropped the f bomb every couple of words, we'd likely run him out of Dodge in short order.

Which has happend a time or two. I do recall some people getting a few f bomb's and getting away with it, but once it becomes every post then its a problem.

Ghoste is right on the money, but let me elaborate a bit more...

There's no reason to quash every little controversy that comes up, as we all have our "moments".  However, if controversy is all someone is looking for when they come to this site, please go somewhere else.  That doesn't mean we all have to think alike.  It is possible to disagree about things without being disagreeable. 

With it being a "closer knit" group as Ghoste alluded to, a newbie coming in just to stir the pot is going to stick out like a sore thumb among the regulars.  Even the "regulars" who constantly stir things up develop a reputation, which colors how I personally view their input on other matters.  I'm here to learn more about Chargers -- and Aero cars in particular -- and to help others the way some have helped me. 

I do not feel it stretches the truth to state that those who can contribute the most to a forum such as this are the least interested in all the controversy, name-calling, etc.  That statement is based on the large number of great people I have met over the years -- especially in the wing car hobby.  There are always exceptions,  but to me those just serve to "prove the rule".  If this were truly a free-for-all forum, I doubt it would be as filled with knowledgeable people as it is.  As an extension of that logic...  If we want to continue to build on our knowledge base, the way to do that is NOT to promulgate controversy. 

The minute the censoring starts, I'll be fuckin' outta here!

   Hmmmm....  now there's a thought....

P.S.  Dave/nascarxx29 - did you notice that the VIN on this T5 car was listed incorrectly on the Dealer Shipping List as a 440 car (XX29L9B)?  I have to make that correction to a "J" on my spreadsheets, although I would have been very reluctant to have done so without seeing the Broadcast Sheet or the VIN tag.  I also thought the car was pretty awesome - and it's probably a One-of-One car with that combo.  I'll look at the pictures a little closer next week when I get back to the office and my High-speed Internet connection...    Dial-up>>>

                                                            Thank you , Achmed

100K.  Just wire a 10K deposit to my bank account in nigeria and include the shipping cost which I will, of course, refund to you.

[daytonalo]

Not  that I'm in the market to buy anything , although if I was I don't think I could buy anything off e-bay after all the scams we've seen !

[Ghoste]

Amen to that!

[nascarxx29]

I have seen its buildsheet and have pictures of that brown daytona.Before it showed up recently.Not certain but I think the trans numbers matches and the motor doesnt?

[hemi68charger]

Is the one at the Talladega museum T7 or T5?.. From my memory, it's T7, no?...........

[daytonalo]

it brings a tear to my eye seeing how we are getting along !!!!!!!!!

[Aero426]

With that color combo.Id say it was Cal Andersons hemi daytona.I have info on it somewhere

That is Cal's old car.   The giveaway is the 15" hubcaps in the trunk, which is what the car came with new.  Those were on the car when it left Milwaukee.   It's had a wheel and tire change since.  The car has been flipped several times within the high roller community since he sold it a year ago.   He believes that Bill Wieman in Arizona owns the car now.  That would make sense given the photos are of a western landscape.   

The last price I heard on the car through the grapevine was $895k.

Cal, the former owner bought the car around 1982 with a spun bearing, which explains why the current seller is showing the trans only.  It has running a correct date Hemi in it.  The car was painted about ten years ago, and finally finished in summer 2005.    People have picked at that car a little bit, but if my 440 Daytona was that 90% that nice, I'd be very happy.  That car stands pretty tall.

Is the one at the Talladega museum T7 or T5?.. From my memory, it's T7, no?...........

The T7 car in the Talladega museum is owned by Tim Wellborn.  To answer an earlier question, that one was the Otis Chandler car.  Tim bought it from Kevin Greene, the NFL player.

[nascarxx29]

The T7 412548 daytona which sold new in Ambler P car #118 on the ship list  that now is Tims .Was bought in the early days by a guy I know Don klump of Pa who i believe sold it to Greg Joseph .Who sold it to Otis Chandler.Then it found its way to Kevin Greene.And disapeared off the radar screen for a bit .And know Tim Wellborn has it There was also to go with that car a brown daytona a matching boat back in the day.The brown daytonas wing was molded together at one time.That car was at alot of New Hope PA car shows back in the day

[daytonalo]

Again for 895k my point was that is as-same the small details are incorrect , thats all that I'm saying . One more thing for 895 k the seller better include me banging his wife as part of the deal !!!!!!!!!!!!!

[nascarxx29]

Hi Hemi Geno the brown car as you said is listed not a hemi .But the buildsheet says different.Does is show a J or a L .On Sues newsletters showing the dealers and stripe colors.My friend has a 440 daytona and the cars undercarrage.Shows the hemi torque boxes.It might have been a intended hemi chassis on the line .But ended up with a 440.On another wingcar post and subject relating to a white on red daytona with a 426 .In Quebec Canada.The pictures show lack of the Hemi torque boxes.That are standard equipment on convertibles and are often found on the hemi cars .But getting back on subject to $895K price tag you would expect a perfect correct in every detail car.I Often to find this not the case.And if a very original low mileage car was studied and documented and used for restoration reference and had a upside down marker light and misc crayon marks on the firewall .Every following batch of restored car seems to carbon copy this unique detail.When this was a isolated incident to that particular car. Probably due to a individual worker or a car built on FRI.My car was built on a FRI AKA 606 and never had the holes drilled for the plastic retainer that holds the headlight vacuum hoses.On the original numbers stamped never been altered radiator support.

[nascarxx29]

Thanks Doug for colaberating only the transmission vin numbers are shown.I didnt think it was the vin stamped original 426 hemi motor from what I remember hearing .But one of the correct year vintage should suffice

[daytonalo]

Dave, did you sell your Daytona ?

[69_500]

I still say that Daytona is a beautiful car.

I didn't think it was the same Daytona that was Kevin Greene's but I hadn't examined the photo of the broadcast sheet that closely yet. I'll probably print it out tonight.

I missed the memo where you took over the site from Troy.

Free Speech out in pubic, but not in someone's private forum... This is Troy's site, aka his living room... He's allowing us the opportunity of utilizing this fabulous board. This would be akin to coming into someone's home and bangering them, THEN saying you have the RIGHT to do so because you're protected by the Bill of Rights... Naaaaaaa, not in my house you aren't,,,,,,,,,,,,,, see that door?     

For the record, I'm with ya on one point,,,,,that's your later..........

Awe (i love moparts) man that was funny! 

[Aero426]

Unfortunately, free speech allows you the right to shoot your mouth off, speak your mind, and look as crude, uncouth, or dumb as you wanna be.  

Personally, being an Charger board, and about CARS,  I can live without the rough language, references to carnal acts with sheep, mammary preferences, how much action you're getting, or would like to get.   It really takes some of the credibility away from the board.  

[Magnumcharger]

Wow!
You guys are sensitive!
