Dan P,
I was wondering the same as Ollie. That looks like a six-pack set-up. Nobody lynch me for blashphemy, but I think that Charger is more beautiful than the 951(especially with the vinyl roof). <img src="graemlins/bigok.gif" border="0" alt="[thumbsup]" />

Thanks a lot guys, I KNOW it's OT and even a CRIME to post these pics here, but you asked for it.
The Charger is a 67, she was an original 440 car (first year, only about 800 made) with lots of options ..power windows, power disc brakes, ac, am/fm, console delete (granny seat) and has a VERY exclusive white top as part of the "White Hat Special". I dropped the six pack on top because it was easier to keep in tune than the horrendous 2x4 it came with. I've had it for about 15 years, and mainly tried to upgrade all the mechanicals. Next comes the cosmetics.. BUT I really haven't touched her in 7 or 8 years since the 951 came along. Opening my garage for a guest is a automotive litmus test..folks are usually polarized, in that they say "Sweet Mopar" or "Nice Turbo!" but never find them BOTH special (as I do) It sorts the old school/new school pretty quick.
The Dodge looks great parked, and makes one HELL of a smoky burnout (295's on the rear) but it doesn't perform worth a darn turning and usually breaks some 30 year old rare part every time I take it out. I sometimes think of selling..but maybe when I get older I'll get more nostalgic.
Sorry for the sloppy engine compartment..constant coolant leaks do that to a car.. ::sigh:: Yea, a little neglected but still loved.
Thanks for asking..
PS>>I love them Goodrich posters.. I'll take care of the Speedster one! (every time I order one, I usually ask them what they have and order a few).. I had the silver M3 one on the other wall but took it down for the 944Fest poster.. <img src="graemlins/beerchug.gif" border="0" alt="[cheers]" />

Dan P,
Then let me be one of the first to say, "Awesome Charger" and "Great turbo". The '66 with the hideaways just looks menacing. Sweet rides. <img src="graemlins/bigok.gif" border="0" alt="[thumbsup]" /> <img src="graemlins/burnout.gif" border="0" alt="[burnout]" /> <img src="graemlins/burnout.gif" border="0" alt="[burnout]" />

Thanks much.. I know I'm very fortunate. Now you see why the Mini Cooper S has to sit outside. (I did some measuring, if I turn the Mini sideways, pull the Pcar all the way forward, and move LOTS of boxes, all three will fit, but VERY tight) Next on my list, a bigger garage!!
Come to the 944Fest and check them out firsthand! After most of the crowd left fest02, the 440 did a huge burnout at the end of my drive. I've got it on video..maybe I should capture it and convert it to divx! <img src="graemlins/beerchug.gif" border="0" alt="[cheers]" />

i'm also interested in the 944fest!
it would give me a good reason to not only be around many 944 cars and owners, but also to drive home to cleveland for a family visit!
perhaps a new thread? or did i totally miss the topic?
