My name is Tom Hergert and I’m the new guest blogger on Mopar Blog. I run a restoration shop in Olympia, Washington called Rocket Restorations. I am going to be doing a NASCAR shot of the week with some tech articles mixed in. We will be doing some articles based on decoding fender tags, build number, and broadcast sheets for our great cars as well. Very excited to join this awesome community.
For our first vintage photo we have a good one–this is the Cotton Owens’ 1969 Dodge Charger 500 with Buddy Baker behind the wheel. They are fitting the template to the car to make sure it is legal (also see other template on the ground next to the car). Notice the 71 K&K Insurance Charger in the background as well.
Keep in mind the date printed on the photo is when it was developed, not when it was taken. This is from the Yankee 600 on August 17, 1969 at Michigan International Speedway.
How about another ’69 Satellite? This one is owned by Carl Brown, and he has had it since new!
This is my 1969 Plymouth Sport Satellite. I purchased the car from the original owner, who had ordered the car new in the fall of 1968 from my dad who was a Plymouth Salesman. I have everything but the window sticker, even the order that was written up with the AM/FM radio. The problem there was he deleted it the next day because he didn’t know if that “FM thing” would last. The car has the Kelsey-Hayes front disc brakes and the manual height and adjustable drivers seat. The interior is all original except for the bucket seat cushion inserts which I replaced due to splitting in the seams. We are three generations of Chrysler car people. This car covers all three. Lots of stories here.
Definitely!
Darrell Dunivan from Cadet, Missouri owns this cool B-Body. Writes Darrell:
I got the car 3 years ago,it was completely taken apart,no glass no wiring fenders and trunk off, just out of the paint shop. My dad and I put it all back together and got it on the road, been driving it for about 4 months. I also did the seats and carpet myself and it still needs door panels and headliner.

This cool 1965 Dodge Coronet was in our classifieds and sold quick for $3,000. Here it is headed to its new home. Via the Rocket Restorations Facebook page.
Check out Sue’s 1969 Dodge Charger, which is finally getting some work done to it after sitting for 20 years! One more pic after the jump!
Most people would kill to have just one 1968 Dodge Charger. But what about having two of them? And what if they were wheelstanding drag cars? Writes Danny:
These are our two 68 chargers that are our drag cars. Red one had a 572 cubic inch motor makes about 950 on the motor and has a 300 shot on it. Indy 441 heads, builds a ton of torque! Black one has a 622 cubic ich motor with fastmanefi just put on it, it’s now making about 1300 on the motor! Couple of beautiful full steel body cars that go out and kick some ass in bracket racing on the weekends. Another couple of beautiful mopars!

Here’s another awesome Charger owned by a Mopar Blog reader. Eric has owned this black plate California car for over 10 years! Original engine and tranny, too!
Now here’s a real beauty: Bob Raskey’s 1969 Dodge Charger R/T out of southern Colorado. It has a 440 rebuilt by Maund Motors pushing approximately 450 horsepower. The rear quarters were replaced but otherwise this is a very solid and original California car. One more pic after the jump!
