    Muscle Car and Corvette Nationals 11-23 and 24, 2024

    I’m getting ready for the last day of the show. Been a long 3 days there so far but even after being there 2 days of setup and the first day of show I haven’t seen everything! I ended up having someone trailer my car there Friday rather than drive it in, since there had been some salt put down...

    Muscle Car and Corvette Nationals 11-23 and 24, 2024

    I’m heading out in a few minutes for first day of setup. Weather today sounds horrible with our first snowfall. Arghh! Fortunately it’s forecast to warm up a bit this evening and melt what snow we get, and be dry through the weekend. I’m supposed to get my car there tomorrow and assuming they’ll...

    the death of Roadkill

    I wonder what will happen with MT's Mecum Auction coverage? Mecums site still shows MT as a sponsor on their website.

    Buying a car today

    I bought a B5 Challenger R/T new in 09, and loved it. I sold it after buying my Magnum in ‘21 as it took my 09s space in my garage, plus I’d bought a new Ram recently and felt like I had too many late models anyway. I really enjoy the Magnum, but really missed my Challenger. Earlier this year...

    AI Generated article or WTH happened here?

    Tom Selleck couldn't drive the Ferrari 308 in the show except with the targa top removed, he was too tall. He needed something with headroom to drive on rainy days!

    I need Mopar trivia questions and answers for our Mopar club Christmas party.

    This one even a lot of Mopar guys get wrong. What was the smallest engine available in a 1970 Challenger? Not the 225 slant 6, it was the 198 cubic inch which was standard in the Challenger Deputy.

    How did the roadrunner end up as one of the 3 GM cars we miss and when did Plymouth become a division of GM? MSN

    Oil filter leak

    That’s chute is real good idea. I was talking to a buddy of mine just now who says he puts rags under his filter on his 440 before changing it to soak up all the oil it leaks. I’ve always got oil on my K frame when changing the 383s filter, but this time it was streaming off the K member when I...

    Oil filter leak

    I was just changing my oil on my 70 383 this afternoon, which I’ve done dozens of times in the decades I’ve owned the car. Got everything done and fired up, seemed to take longer for oil light to go out. Went and checked, and found oil dripping at a good rate from the filter where it contacts...

    1970 Dark Burnt Orange Metallic?

    The Sinamon Stick color on late model Challengers and Chargers is like an improved FK5 and is beautiful!

    Hemmings Classic Car and Muscle Machines to be the latest magazine to fold

    Hemmings Motor News is still remaining in print. It's Hemmings Classic Car and Hemmings Muscle Machines that are folding early next year. I give them some credit compared to the publisher of Mopar Action. Hemmings hasn't been taking renewals or selling new subscriptions to those 2 publications...

    one of my long time friends is a flat earther........

    Nope. Aircraft are in a sense tethered to earth, by gravity. The main reason a perfectly trimmed aircraft with its power settings constant would gain altitude as it continues along its flightpath, is that its weight is decreasing (weight =mass x gravity) over time due to fuel burn, and the nose...

    1970 Dark Burnt Orange Metallic?

    I'd been searching for a Challenger convertible in the mid 90s and after a couple years was getting frustrated. I ran wanted ads in a few magazines and got 4 or 5 responses. The only car fairly close to me geographically and pricewise to my budget was the one I ended up buying. I wasn't...

    1970 Dark Burnt Orange Metallic?

    Both my convertible and the '70 in the background are FK5 cars. As I mentioned in my post, when the previous owner restored the convertible, no one had FK5 in BC/CC and he painted it a factory Mopar color from the early 80s that was available in BC/CC that was pretty close. It's a bit more...

    Insurance Scam gets Beared

    This sounds like a plot line from a Three Stooges episode! Have to give them credit with coming up with an original scheme though. 4 charged with insurance fraud after allegedly dressing as bears to damage cars

    1970 Dark Burnt Orange Metallic?

    My 70 Challenger convertible is FK5. It had been restored sometime prior to my buying it in '97, by the previous owner. He told me when he painted it, he wanted to do a base coat clear coat paint job, but no one offered that at the time in FK5. So he found a early 80s Mopar color that was...

    Hemmings Classic Car and Muscle Machines to be the latest magazine to fold

    I just looked at their website and didn't find anything on what is going on with Hemmings Classic Car. However, I didn't find any information listed on subscribing to either Classic Car or Hemmings Muscle. I take that to mean they are phasing out both of those publications, and then only...

    Hemmings Classic Car and Muscle Machines to be the latest magazine to fold

    I came to enjoy Hemmings Classic Cars more than Hemmings Muscle. They featured cars I didn’t know about or knew little about. They had good articles on cars detailing their restorations sometimes going for several months. Their columnists were really good. Hemmings Muscle has got sort of...

    Hemmings Classic Car and Muscle Machines to be the latest magazine to fold

    I subscribe but haven’t got an issue this month yet. This guy says he got a letter with his latest issue saying they are ceasing publication. First Muscle Car Review, then Mopar Muscle, Mopar Action, now Classic Car. Hemmings Muscle probably not long for this world.
