Tom from Rocket Restorations just sent me these snapshots he took with his phone. These are pure gold for any Mopar lover. Love this green Coronet R/T. Wish I was there! More pics after the jump!

Movie Mopar of the Week: 1967 Plymouth GTX Convertible from Tommy Boy
This is pretty clearly a Belvedere and not a GTX since it’s a bench seat/column shift car. And there is some speculation that it is actually the same car that was used in Joe Dirt. Anyway, the poor Mopar takes a hell of a beating in Tommy Boy. There’s a great compilation of all the scenes with the GTX in the movie after the jump!
1969 Plymouth Identity Crisis on Craigslist
Lets see, this Plymouth B-body has a a GTX deck lid panel, Road Runners on the doors and… Super Bee stripes???? (Not to mention the dreaded Chevy black spray bomb engine bay.) The guys at Moparts are calling it a “Bee-T-X.” Cool car, though, so the $11,500 asking price doesn’t seem totally unreasonable. Someone should get it and take it to a good therapist ASAP. More pics plus text from the Craigslist ad after the jump!
Cotton Owens 1970 Dodge Charger Daytona For Sale
Although this Daytona has a spotty race history with a bunch of DNFs, it is also the first car to do a lap at NASCAR at over 200 MPH (with famed driver Buddy Baker behind the wheel). And it did score first place at the Darlington Southern 500, again with Buddy driving. I don’t see a price listed, but Bob Severin posted on our Facebook page that it’s listed at Canepa in Scotts Valley, Califonia for $850,000. It’s also totally unrestored, which is super cool. More pics after the jump!
Reader’s Rides: Dave Goeden’s 1966 Dodge Charger
Dave bought the car in Falls City Nebraska in 2000 and took it back to Russellville, Arkansas where he lives. He restored it over the course of three years, though as he says, “it never ends.” It’s a factory 383 car, bored .30 over. Racing cam, Performer RPM Highrise intake, and 750 Edelbrock carb. 727 Automatic with Sure Grip rear end. More pics after the jump!

Hotchkis Autocross at Carlisle
The guys at Hotchkis seem to think that autocross isn’t just for Miatas. So once again, they will be hosting the autocross at the 2013 Carlisle Chrysler Nationals. And yes, the Hotchkis Taxi will be there as well. Check out the video from last year after the jump!
Mopars at the 2013 DuQuoin Street Machine Nationals

Movie Mopar of the Week: 1969 Dodge Coronet from Dog Day Afternoon
Man, there are a TON of Mopars in this movie. From the 1969 Dodge Coronet 4-door that Al Pacino and the rest of robbers drive to the bank, to all the cop cars. You can see the full list at IMCDB and check out the trailer after the jump!
Happy 4th of July!
Hope everyone gets out in their Mopar today!
A12 Road Runner Featured on Muscle Car of the Week
The narrator calls it a “440 six pack” when that was a Dodge thing. Plymouth went by “440 Six Barrel.” Still, a cool feature on a cool car, even if the guy never starts it up. Claimed to be the first A12 Road Runner produced, and the one Ronnie Sox drove to a 12.91 quarter mile at 111 mph. Probably doomed to be a trailer queen the rest of its live. Still, check out the video after the jump!
