1970 Dodge Charger Wrecks Into Wall
This happened a few weeks ago in the Netherlands. Bummer, but it should be an easy fix. Video after the jump!
A Father, a Son and a Mopar
CarBuzz highlights a cool video of a father and son and a 1971 Dodge Challenger convertible. Not a rare situation for sure. My father turned me on to Mopars and, to this day, I still care for our Fury. Video after the jump!
Chrysler’s Fuselage Styling
Mac’s Motor City Garage gives a short review on Chrysler’s 1969-73 C body fuselage styling, a styling theme that seems to be more appreciated now than when it was new. The hidden headlight models win, hands down. More brochure pics after the jump!

Wrap Up From the Charles Kee Estate Sale
The Charles Kee Estate Sale was May 8th and 9th in Brothers, Oregon and it was a blast to attend. They had 1000 boxes of parts for sale and 200 cars, most of it Mopar! I was there from the front lines bidding and buying parts along with a bunch of other Mopar fanatics. The cars ended up going for pretty cheap, most at not much more than scrap prices with a few exceptions. The parts were a little more expensive but lots of treasures were to be found in the hundreds and hundreds of banana boxes that Charles Kee used to store stuff. It is hard to show the scale of how many parts were here but we tried with this picture.
1970 Barracuda Idle for 37 Years
Barn finds are still be found. Hot Rod reported on this 1970 Plymouth Barracuda that was parked in 1977 due to an unidentified issue. The car, and everything around it, has not been touched since that day. One can say it’s “only” a 318 automatic but that just means that it’s not too rare and valuable to drive and enjoy.

One Owner 1970 Plymouth Superbird

It was purchased off the dealer lot in South Carolina in December, 1970 for $2,500 after sitting for over a year (the original sticker on this car was $4,537). Original paperwork plus the post from Moparts after the jump!
