Good morning everyone
Crazy hearing the news Trump got shot last night. Thankfully just a flesh wound. Sorrow and sympathy for thr attendees who were killed and critically injured.

Morning all. I just want to tell all my buddies I was able to see again in Carlisle I had fun. Always a good time seeing you all just wished I could have spent more time with you. Hoppy thanks for the beer. OMR love the t-shirt and always great to see you. Mitch is still Mitch with that big grin. Tim always a pleasure spending time with you. John had a blast and enjoyed all of our time. I'll road trip with you anytime. Maybe next year we load up the wives and do MITP?? It's always a great time whenever wherever this group gets together. Everyone here should experience it at least once.

I for one would love to see you all again up at MITP
Ended up being a nice little car show at the Hydros yesterday, will post a few pics and was glad there were a few Mopars! Am going to a show up in Langley BC today, all Mopar show, haven't back to back'd a car show in a while.
Great story on the Polara, guy said he was out driving with wife in car, saw it and told her I want to buy that car. Wife says "Oh no you're not". He said to me, well I'm retired and so the next day when she went to work he hit the guy up and got it for what the guy had into it (4k), 318 zero rust CA car.
Dang! Perfect!
And found on Whidbey Island, THAT is rare, just don't see many out here. If I was out bouncing around garage sales and saw that like he did I would have probably tried to do the same thing, barn find. Think it was a 64
Saw this AMX driving thru town the day before the show, was pretty sure it was in town for it. Man my pic taking sucks, ignored the cardinal rule Take a Pic of the Whole Car!
Yep, a 64. That's what I have been looking for. If I want one bad enough I need to sell off one ot both of my cars and sit on the cash, ready to pull the trigger at any moment. I could borrow the money in a couple hours from the credit union. Most of those cars are cloned into an old Super Stocker with a big 440+ wedge. Overkill in my book for a nice cruiser. Nothing wrong with a good running Poly 318.
Found a truck I can afford
That is a fair price, sure like the lines on that car
And I'll bet it doesn't use much gas lol!
Here's one for Mitch, 413 I believe
Me too. My sister had a red 68 Javelin. Beautiful car. I drove it to prom in 72.
That is super cool!
This resto-mod Duster was pretty wild but I wasn't too wild about it. Owner bought it already built and proclaimed it was better to do it that way.... The car show tag on the dash said it was a 73, I've seen those de-beaked as this one was but don't know if I've seen the tail panel reworked as well, maybe it was really a 72 lol!

I am with you, parts of it are nice but does not have a “flow” to it.

You should snag it, lord knows they were more expensive than that at the show! While I certainly do not pretend to know much about the die cast market. The prices at the show on them seemed out of bounds? But again, I have zero reference baseline. They may have been great?
Yeah I guess maybe that's it, I've seen restomod Dusters that I like much better. Guy said the builder worked on it for 7 years but did "a whole bunch" of work right at the end, maybe that was the issue, dunno
