looks like a 73 Charger...hard to tell with that bush in the way (yet another reason bushes are a bad thing :P :wink: )

[Aleighy]

thats the best pic i could get, but i see it every so often, i think it lives up in tapps maybe. but i thought of you, zfrks, when i saw it.

[ZfrkS62]

Aleighy- yes i can see how an orange Mopar would remind you of an orange Z of the same decade :D and it looks like you need a new windshield judging by that white line going through the bottom of your picture :lol:

Phobo- thats too bad. back in those days Detorit was much more concerned with sales figures at home rather than across the pond. I really don't think they would survive very well there though with the moisture. They would have horrible body rot (rust) if they weren't undercoated or garaged early.

[Aleighy]

Z- I know the difference between a charger and a Z

[ZfrkS62]

Z- I know the difference between a charger and a Z

the common occurance between the two would be ORANGE :wink: though the rear 1/4 glass is similar in both cars well :wink:

It's a 71-74 SE 340 Magnum done up to look like an R/T. :( The R/T's were the only Chargers to have the Black hood and stripe. The distinguishing feature from the SE to the R/T's was the doors. R/T's had big vents on the front of the door.
He does have the front and rear spoilers, which were options that most people didn't go for. At least in my experience, most didn't have them.

71 was the beginning of the end for the muscle cars. After the 71 R/T, the Chargers lost lots of power.

[SilviaEvo]

too bad they lost the power i still want a '68 440 R/T though

[ZfrkS62]

Silvia, you're speaking my language :D But i'll take a 69 Charger 500 :D

[SilviaEvo]

^^do i hear a 426 Cubic Inch V8 Hemi pumping out 425bhp@5000rpm, 490lb-ft@4000rpm?!!? :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: id love one of those Charger 500 Hemis (only 67 built :cry: ) id also want a Daytona although i dont like their looks that much but i guess its for performance :P

[ZfrkS62]

Are you kidding me? with only 500 of those built and stocked with Hemi's as well... :drool: :twisted:

not to mention it's one of the few cars you can own that have a rediculous wing and have it be acceptable :D

[666fast]

Silvia, you're speaking my language :D But i'll take a 69 Charger 500 :D

200MPH on the speedway too. I sure wouldn't mind having one, I wouldn't turn down a 440 or a Hemi either though!

[ZfrkS62]

must...find...Charger....where the hell is that junkyard they sent all the wrecked General Lees to?

[SilviaEvo]

the Daytona is 20% more aerodynamically efficient. plus 505 built then adding the 426 Hemi that thing is a beast!!! and the topping of 200mph was great the pinnicle of american muscle cars :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:
here is a 426 Daytona for sale which i want. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=6199&item=4549718971&rd=1

[ZfrkS62]

oh god...i think i just pulled an American Pie... :shock: that car is fucking BEAUTIFUL :shock:

I don't rememeber what book i was looking at..but it was back in '99. It had the prices for cars built before 1975. a MINT condition Daytona, could have seen $128,000. Of course i am sure now one could go for alot more.

Damn. I remember the first time i saw a Daytona. i was about 12 heading South on 405 right before the Sunset Blvd/Downtown Renton exit and not one, but TWO Daytonas; a blue one and an orange one, both with white wings, went roaring the other way. I think i got whiplash from snapping my head to watch them and then soaked my moms centerconsole in drool :lol:

it makes me feel a lot better i wish i could see them but i just went down my street and found a Integra Type-R which surprised me. nothing really in my neighborhood except a black family down the street has like 6 SUV's in the driveway ranging from Escalade to Yukon Denali. ive seen Vipers at Park Place and the Dodge of Bellevue next to Michaels. and did you know that Michaels is moving to Eastgate Way (where the Safeway was) next to Chaplins?

[ZfrkS62]

I never really went into bellevue much so i'm not really familiar with it..I can't even rememebr where the Cellophane Square is. I know it's near BellSquare somewhere.

[T-Bird]

yep that's a Superbird who knows if it's real though.

OH Muscle Car Heaven is about 2 miles from my house, I've posted many pictures from there if you search far enough back...

[SilviaEvo]

^^that is a great Museum!!! the F&F ruined Dodge Charger is 35K what a rip off!!!

[666fast]

Muscle car heaven happens every summer here, it's coming up pretty quickly!

http://www.msra.com/BTT50s/BackToThe50s.htm
Thousands of muscle cars all over the place. When the show closes, they all go down University Avenue in St. Paul.

Here is a crappy low resolution bit from the news about weekends on University, it was just on the other night. Funny part is they don't show any cops, and they are everywhere down there. Once summer is in full swing (still kind of cold here) both lanes in both directions is like a parking lot that goes on for miles. When the car show comes around, it's 10 times worse, but it's a whole lot of fun.
Make sure to pay attention, he calls the import crowd Ricers! :lol:
