Video From the Mopars Unlimited 5th Annual Fred Meyer Meet and Greet

I think I need a camera with a wider lens. And more skill. But anyway, check out two videos after the jump–one quick tour of the show, and one short video of the beautiful 4-speed Hemi Road Runner! And if you missed the pics yesterday, you can see them here.

Vintage Mopar NASCARs To Be Featured at the Concours d’Elegance of America

This year’s Concours d’Elegance of America at St. John’s will feature vintage NASCARs, including several very cool Mopars. Pictured below is the 1970 Plymouth Superbird formerly raced by Ramo Stott, which apparently was the first Superbird to score a victory in a NASCAR-sanctioned event at the 1970 ARCA 300 at Daytona. After the jump I have a pic of a very cool 1972 Dodge Challenger “Kit Car” developed by Petty Enterprises to help aspiring circle track racers. You can read a lot more about these cars and the other non-Mopar NASCARs to be displayed over at Hemmings.

Hemi Superbird Barn Find

You’re looking at a very orginal 4-speed 1970 Hemi Superbird with just 14,000 miles. FJ5 Limelight Green with a white bucket seat interior. The current owner bought it in 1972 in the condition you see in the pics below–the original Hemi had spun a bearing and had been placed in the trunk! The Superbird was stored in Oaklahoma until just recently. Now it’s in Illinois with Magnum Auto Restoration and is about to undergo a full restoration. More pics after the jump! Via Moparts

Lots of Cool Mopars at the 2013 CEMA Charity Car Show

Looks like the Chrysler Employee Motorsport Association had a good turnout for their annual show this past weekend on the grounds of the Walter P. Chrysler Museum in Auburn Hills, Michigan. One of the coolest cars was undoubtably Doug Schellinger’s 1970 Plymouth Superbird. You can see a bunch more pics at Mac’s Motor City Garage. 1970-Plymouth-Superbird-Doug-Schellinger

Wing Cars at the 2013 Mopars Ulimited Spring Roundup

There was a good wing car turnout as always at the 2013 Mopars Ulimited Spring Roundup. And as always, sometimes some of the coolest cars are not in the show–they are just sitting in the parking lot like this badass black Daytona! More pics after the jump!
