    What I really want! Three grand for four wheels and centers. Nice! 15x6 Chrysler Wire | Chrome | 5x5.5 bp | 3.625 bs

    What'cha think?

    It's a shame there are no center caps for the large Imperial bolt pattern. With that and trim rings, you'd have a large Rallye-style Mopar wheel assembly. I guess a guy could 3-D print a set. Interesting idea, IMO

    Since one of them flew off on the way there, I removed the other three before heading home. I started getting hot, so I left early. Great turnout! I had the only big Mopar there.

    What'cha think?

    One flew off on the way to the show, so they'll never be a permanent thing! Overheard from lookers: -Does this have a 318? -You get like 5 mpg with this? -Is that an Impala? (While looking at the trunk call-out!) -Nice Plymouth! More fun that anyone deserves!

    What'cha think?

    I'd love to find a set of Kelsey-Hayes wire wheels for this. Anyone? That's the only other wheel that looks right on an Imperial of this vintage. Plus, finding a 5-on-5-1/2" wheel that doesn't look like a pimp wheel is impossible.

    I've had this car for ten years as of June 3! Doesn't seem like it.

    I'm currently restoring the '66 wheel covers. They are seven separate parts and weigh about 180 pounds each...OK, maybe eight. Anyway, for the Memorial Day car show today, I wasn't too hip on showing it with the bare painted wheels. So, on went these Moon covers I've had for a few years...

    It is a 225 w/3-speed on the floor. Says the car had just two options - AM and heater. Very base car with a warmed over 225. Sweet little Valiant! The '79 300 is one of several original-owner cars that appeared at SPMF.

    Those are all magnetic decals, except the giant Dodge hood letters.

    Several of these cars are original-owner! The green '69 Dart GTS 340, '79 Chrysler 300 and '74 Dart Sport are just three of perhaps a dozen or so.(not including the metrics, which don't trip my trigger at all, frankly!)

    The A100 truck was an insane build! There were nearly 100 cars present. The vast majority of cars were driven, NOT trailered in. TWO Petty Blue Superbirds and an Alpine White one. Four C-bodies (two of those were wagons!) and my Imperial. This is a three-day event you've gotta go to next year!

    Cars came in from OK, TX, KS, IA, AR, LA, CO, NE, TN, IL, IN and even FL and Winnipeg, MB! The Canadians drove theirs 27 hours!

    I'm at the SPMF show this weekend in Bristow, Oklahoma. Friday is pretty much a GTG, along with a poker run. My car made the trip effortlessly. It was roughly 80 miles one-way. Saturday is the car show, swap meet and street racing on a 1/8-mile stretch of the old Rt 66. The WiFi here is...

    41st Annual COMA Mopar show, shine and swap

    Bring 'em out!

    NOT MINE 1978 Warlock.

    For that money, I'd expect it to be pristine. It's nice, but $35K nice???

    Radio "delete"

    A cool "delete plate" is if you ordered a '66 or '67 Charger with a three-on-the-tree, you still got the console, but there was a block-off plate where the shifter would've been. That's a rare piece, if you ever come across one, grab it.

    Radio "delete"

    Radios were an option on all '50s, '60s, and '70s Mopars that I can think of. Even a heater was an option in most car and truck lines for many years. Push-button automatic cars were available with a three-speed column shifter as standard, in most cases; or a three-speed floor shifter. Point...

    Retirement - what prompted you to do so?

    I'll be 64 this Summer. My legs and shoulders tell me I'm 95, though. The past couple of years have been a weird, wild ride concerning those. My wife is on SS disability, which isn't squat for money, but it does help. She has Medicare and I have Tricare. What I'll miss is the free dental...

    Front seat belts arranged in an 'X'

    I think that is to keep them from tangling up, or getting caught up in the seat fold or the seat edge. Plus, they're readily accessible that way.

    Retirement - what prompted you to do so?

    I'm ready. I've put it off twice now, but I'll be sleeping in sometime before the end of March. The whole corporate climate of PC silliness and WTF decision-making is too much for me these days. The Big Brother aspect is another thing that makes me ready to hit the ejection seat. I'm tired...
