This is the 66 hemi car my uncle restored a number of years ago. I think he finished it in 08. New owners of course. When he sold it (to buy a new house because he took a job as head block engineer for Dodge motor sports) it sadly became an investment car and has been passed around between several muscle car retailers. I'm kind of glad the boats we love arent worth a lot of money because the people who actually care about them get a chance to get their hands on them.

Great looking '66 Zach. What's a retailer asking for a car like that now? I was into Pontiacs back in the '80's and was on a search for a nice GTO when I came upon a restored '68 Hemi Roadrunner. It was a classic Roadrunner with no comfort options, vinyl floor, cheap bench seat, little hub caps. The guy wanted $9,900 for it which was about double that a mint GTO was going for. I knew it was a great investment, but thought the price was nuts.

I think they were asking over 100k for it at some point but as you know the market for muscle cars has softened since then. He sold it at the right time.
The silver car was about as ase as you could ge tthe only real options being 440 trim, carpet, sliver special order, and black painted top. Apparently that car is the only doccumented black painted top hemi car known to exist. My brother has that Poncho not a goat though! My other uncle has a midnight blue 68 400 4 speed car with air and ice blue interior. It sported the original motor when he bought it with around 220k miles on it! He also restored a Salmon Pink 64 389 tri power Goat that won bronze at the gto nationals the year it was done. I bascially love all muscle cars but Mopars are in my blood. |

Welp, Forecasting snow here this week so I took the boat home this weekend and got some more pictures of Mopar for ya.
The 69 Brother on our 1955 Farmall cub. When I lived at this house it was my grass mower and boat mover! The ball mount on it is just the right height for Correct Craft trailers. ;). Hadn't cranked it in 2 months still spinning the 6 Volt system. Fired after two starter cranks. Dad's 70 Cuda in the big barn. Brothers 72 Swinger with some new sheet metal hung. In the big barn. The boat all tucked away in the north shop. |
