I decided to take a little drive (60 miles) to a local car show. A nice little area in the MN lakes country. It was a very nice morning for a drive. About 70 degrees, sunny with a light breeze.
I will take some pictures of mainly things that catch my eye.

More. About 200 registered cars.
A few Mopars. And a couple jeeps.

A 67 Plymouth Sport Fury for sale. Wasn’t there. The guys dad’s car. Was a daily driver in 67-69 then didn’t do much. Stored inside all its life, guy wasn’t quite sure what engine it had.

On the way home I stopped at a friend of mine’s Dads place to show him my car and he gave me a private car show. It has been about 10-12 years since I saw his collection. At that time the majority was Mopars. With a 63 split window Vette and porthole T-bird the only others. He still has the Mopars but has branched out a little. Most all his cars are special and low miles.
Most are original with only a re paint.

Sorry he wasn’t comfortable with pictures being posted on line, but will pretty much give anyone a tour.
Some notables,
A ’Cuda AAR Trans Am, 68 RoadRunner convertible, another 68 Road Runner hard top with 440 +6 air grabber 26,000 original miles. Plymouth Superbird wing car with bench-seat and column automatic low miles, 68 Charger R/T with A/C. GTX, Challenger.
Non Mopar, Jag E type, 68 Camaro R/T (another Trans Am car), original 67 Mustang G/T with the big block and 3 duces, and the list goes on.
He tries to drive them in a rotation. Usually picks a different one to drive to church each week. He has no interest in duplication and is a purest when it comes to restoration.
Great tour of his “shed” as he calls it.
 
I was confused when looking at the car, but I see it is actually a 72 model. Small issue for us C body lovers though. Thanks for all the great photos on a spectacular day!
Whoops, I got it crossed with the 73 above. My phone screen sometimes isn’t large enough plus I don’t remember numbers, or names for that matter. To me numbers are not specific, just generalities. For instance I am better with “early 70’s” or “late 60’s”. $1.2 million is around a million dollars.
I more so look for patterns in a group of numbers or data to see the anomalies.
That’s my strength and weakness.
 
Thanks for sharing. My guess is the Road Runner convertible is a '69 as that was the first year for the RR convertible. Also, just out of curiosity, what color is the Superbird? Mine was FY1 Lemon Twist so I have a soft spot for those but I always wanted blue with a white interior.

You are right on the RR year. I have 68 stuck in my head from my car. Plus I am far from an expert on the difference in years on A,B,E bodies.
The super bird was Petty Blue. But for the life of me I cannot remember if the interior was black or white.
