You were expecting a concours restoration, maybe? The latest episode of Hot Rod’s Roadkill finds Freiburger and Finnegan building a Charger from a rolling shell, a motorhome 440 and their Fury’s 727. It took six months–not their usual six days–and in their opinion, it’s the best episode of Roadkill ever. It looks mean and sounds meaner. Video after the jump!
Here are some great shots of The Finer Details showroom and restoration shop in Danville, Indiana posted by Ryan over at Moparts. You may recognize that 1970 Challenger from SEMA and the LA Auto Show. More pics after the jump!
This 1969 Charger in General Lee livery was the victim of a house fire in 2011. Down but not out, the owner is rebuilding with the goal of jumping Fury sedans by next summer. Here’s hoping that the south will rise again. See the story at Street Legal TV. More pics and a video after the jump!
Find a variety of different shots of this beautiful 1968 Hemi Charger at Motor Trend Classic. Now that’s proper wallpaper. It sure beats a picture of a bunch of hot air balloons!
I think this is the first wagon we have featured on Reader’s Rides. Here’s the word from Pete:
My name I Pete, I’m out of Amityville, New York. This is Rocket, my 1967 Dodge Coronet 440 wagon with a 383 under the hood, posi rear and rotor front brakes. Just for the record, some of my friends and wife don’t understand why I bought a wagon. Theres something really tuff about a old souped up wagon that grabs my eye. I have a friend who works for DMV and he ran a search for other Dodge coronet wagons registered on Long Island. He found out that I have the only ’67 coronet 440 wagon (that is registered) on all of Long Island.

We just found these five 1962 Chrysler’s in Bellingham, Washington. Not sure why somebody would let these things sit in a swampy area for 15 years but it happened. We just saved these from going to the crusher and the cars are:
See more pictures below. What would you do with these? They are pretty rough.
The cigar smoking, drag racing Dick Landy put a straight axle from an A100 van under his 1964 Dodge 330 and radically altered the wheelbase to create a drag car that was referred to as a funny car because, well, it looked funny. The rest is history. Read a piece on his racing career in Hemmings Motor News.
While not an original Max Wedge car, that engine compartment is still a thing of beauty! It’s purported to have been a Max Wedge race car for most of its life. Today it’s a retired race horse built to enjoy cruise nights. See more detail at Bring A Trailer. More pics after the jump!
This is a picture of the Bobby Allison 1969 Dodge Charger 500 at Bristol Motor Speedway. This car was owned and built by Rossi Automotive Engineering. You can see Bobby putting the bumble bee stripe himself on the back of the car–imagine a current NASCAR driver putting his own decals on the car!
Winter is here. So how about some pics of Mopars in the snow, courtesy of Moparts! More pics after the jump!
