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.
I swung by the Mopars Unlimited 5th Annual Fred Meyer Meet and Greet up in Everett, Washington yesterday and snapped pics of all the cars. Lots of familiar faces and Mopars, and definitely a cool little show! Thanks to Dave Oz for making it happen! See 80 more pics after the jump!
Here’s another burly Mopar from Sweden. Christian purchased the yellow B-body off eBay back in 2010 and had it shipped across the Atlantic from Florida. It’s powered by a 440 with forged pistons, Edelbrock Performer RPM aluminum cylinder heads, Weiand Tunnel Ram Intake and Holley 600 carbs. It has a Coolit radiator with dual fans, ceramic coated headers and 3″ Flowmaster exhaust. It’s got a 727 transmission with a 3000 stall converter. It’s been tubed in the rear and has a full roll cage. Lots more pics after the jump!

Am I the only one who finds Top Gear annoying? Seems like everyone thinks this show is brilliant, but I find it painful to watch. This episode with Richard Hammond reviewing a 1968 Dodge Charger 440 R/T is especially painful. Maybe they should stick to European cars. The BBC only makes a small clip available, but there is a full episode in Russian on YouTube (least until the BBC makes YouTube pull it down). But you can watch the official BBC clip after the jump!
Most people agree that triple black = black paint, black interior and black vinyl top (or black convertible top). Makes for one mean combo, especially on a Mopar. There was a great thread on this option combo on Moparts recently, with pics of some very cool Mopars like this triple black 1968 Dodge Cornonet R/T. More examples after the jump, including triple black ‘Cudas and Challengers!
Check out this cool 1868 Dodge Charger R/T from Lancaster, Massachusetts. Jim has owned this purple B-body for 15 years. It’s powered by a 440 stroked to a 496 with oversized heads, mild rise intake, disc brakes, an X pipe and a tranny cooler. More pics after the jump!

It’s always a good idea to try to make our old Mopars a little safer. There are lots of options for just about any era or style of car. Allpar ran a good article on adding shoulder belts to the back seats of a 1984 Dodge Daytona Turbo Z. I’ve had good luck with this kit from Julianos on a B-body hardtop. Or you can go whole hog and add seats with integrated belts like this guy at forabodiesonly, who used front seats from a Cadillac CTS in his Dodge Dart.
A few old Mopars scattered in the hot Arizona sun. These are all ’68 or ’69 Coronets. There’s a 1968 Coronet 500, a 1969 Coronet R/T and a 1969 Super Bee. Prices listed in the thread on DodgeCharger.com seem crazy high but you never know… Lots more pics after the jump!
Not a whole lot of detail on this one, other than it is/was apparently a 1969 Hemi Dodge Charger R/T. Anyone know more about this? Via Moparts
Cool story about Joan Parker, the original Dodge “Fever Girl” over at Motorcities.org. And check out the 1969 Dodge Charger television ad with Ms. Parker after the jump! Via Hemmings Blog
