Luke just created this ’69 Dodge Charger ride page today. I’m generally not a huge fan of stuffed animals at car shows but thought this was pretty hilarious.

It’s now 11:03pm and I’m sitting on my bed at the Quality Inn in South Bend, Indiana and to be perfectly honest, I’m bushed. We left Queens, NY this morning at about 6:15 am which was a bit later than we wanted to leave but hey… shit happens right? In our caravan we had my buddy Todd’s Ferrari F430 as well as a Corvette Z06 driven by another close friend, Carmine. Now obviously the Ferrari has NO storage space and although the Corvette is a bit better it’s no storage closet. What this meant was that the Charger was going to be the pack mule for the trip. Now, aside from tools, spare parts and racing gear, we also packed in 10 days worth of clothes in 4 duffel bags and then jammed everything into the trunk and back seat. Combine this with my 240 lbs. and my co-driver Chris’s 260 lbs. and you could say that we were at our limit.

CarDomain member MoparRob07 says,

Here is a pic of the Charger at the Boone Hall Plantation in Charleston, SC. It is the most photographed plantation / driveway in America. The trees on both sides of the road were planted by Boone Hall’s son in the 1700′s. Was a great photo op!

Nice shot! How about you guys–ever photographed your ride in front of a cool historic landmark? Keep those Photo of the Day nominations rolling in!

Anyone who knows me understands that the 1968 Dodge Charger is my all-time favourite car. That’s why when I saw this on eBay I almost barfed up my lunch. To be brutally honest: the color has been way overdone and the rims don’t do this car any justice at all. But what really leaves me flabbergasted is the rear spoiler, which looks like something that I would have thrown together in the metalworking class when I was 15. Pay attention, kids–if you’re going to wreck a legend, piling on the tasteless touches is the way to do it. It’s hard to believe that it’s for sale with the Buy It Now set at $199K. Check out the auction here.

There are those who restore a car exactly as it came off the assembly line. Strategically placed paint inspection daubs and chalk marks are meticulously applied. The original-style hose clamps, painted only with the correct value and hue of semi-gloss or flat black paint, are located precisely on correctly date-coded radiator and heater hoses. The body-color paint under the hood has drip runs and sags that directly correspond to the degree of hangover the original painter had that Monday in 1971 when he was spraying the lacquer into the engine bay. On the other side of this equation are the people who simply don’t care. More of the Dodge Dart Charger Sport Swinger over at mighty Clunkbucket.

In this episode, we headed to CBS Studio Center along with several cool beasts from Cinema Vehicles. What you won’t see is the cops that chased down the General Lee…

There are not too many cars you can name from the West Coast that are famous for street racing, but here is one of them. It is the 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona that is one of three that were supposedly given by Chrysler to Big Willie Robinson and his wife Tomiko to help them promote the Brotherhood of Street Racers in Los Angeles, which was actually an organization designed to keep kids away from other crime. Big Willie also opened the legendary Terminal Island drag strip under the Brotherhood name.

We found this car listed on eBay with information that states it is a factory 440-powered car that was at one time raced with a Hemi and a Clutchflite. The hood scoop has ties to the movie Two Lane Blacktop that featured another Daytona with this same hood. Big Willie was famous for a magazine ad for American Racing Wheels, but the car in that ad photo is not the same one as this.

We also found a story from the guy who bought this Daytona directly from Big Willie’s back yard several years ago. Click here to see that story on the DodgeCharger.com site.

If you can afford $250,000 for some 1970s street racing history, go to the eBay link!

This Dodge Shelby Charger was stolen shortly after the original owner purchased the car back in 1985, and then it sat on a police impound lot for nine years. Troy’s uncle bought  in 1996 with just 2,000 miles on the clock and then sold it to Troy last year. Check out Troy’s ride page for more on this cool ride!

What started out as a terrible weekend, ended up as a not so terrible weekend. A friend of mine’s uncle had passed away and I had known him for many years. So I would be attending his funeral on Sunday, November 9th. I planned on spending the weekend out there, so I knew I couldn’t help the family in Saturday, why not go out and hunt for cars… Oh boy did that thought snowball.

I made a post about me heading to Bloomington, IL on www.moparts.com forums. Two members from down there, Shad and Scott both told me that they would like to meet up and show me some of the stuff they knew about lying around. They didn’t get into specifics, though.

I drove down Friday night, so I could meet up with the guys on Saturday. That was a long drive at night. The Challenger did fine, and I got on the girl a bit. But still I was glad to plunker down in my hotel room for the night.
