In 1979 I traded a 1969 Camaro for a 1971 Dodge Charger straight across. Probably the one and only time I can honestly say
"I got the better end of the deal". Needless to say that was the beginning of a life long love for B-Body Mopars. But unfortunately I
sold it upon entering the service and have kicked myself ever since.
It's taken almost 17 years for me to acquire another. But here it is! In all it's California Orange glory.
Nothing fancy about it just your average run of
the mill Charger equiped with a 383 HP and 727 torqeflight tranny.
Maybe one day I'll find an R/T that needs some
TLC and this might sacrifice itself as the donor car but until that day
this is my toy.
With no fender tag, and no broadcast sheet it's never going to be a concourse show car which suits me fine. I enjoy driving it
more than showing it anyway.
Well after 18 months in the garage tinkering it's back on the road.
Should be updating some pics and the site shortly. 25 June 2002
