I didn't get to meet the man, but in the spring when I went to get stuff for the mopar show in Fort Collins I got to see their facility and the collection of bicycles they have, which is how it all started, polishing bicycles!!!

Lots of good Mighty Mopar representation in this sea of Chevys this year View attachment 500094 View attachment 500093 View attachment 500092

No love for the 73 RR in the background!!!! Do you have any pics of it?

 

[Darius]

I did nottake any pics there but I did look at that car and it is a beauty. I personally like that style better than 71&72 models. The front end just looks better.

Guy in this Chevy did a smoky for a fraction of a second near the end of the parade. Right next to Reno's Finest. Pulled his HAN Registration and wrote him.

Incredible pics. BTW, what's the weather like?

 

[oldbee]

Thanks for the pics , at the least the 'Nats were all Mopar, but beautiful anyway & the temperature was bearable in Ohio.

Reno weather was 20 degrees cooler than other years. Perfect.

Thanks for the pics of my Coronet. See you next year.

The cop car is only a 318 V8. It eluded me all week. I passed it once Friday going the other way.

Parade cars could not add up to 10% of registered cars. Went for brews and grub at the Mellow Fellows across from the ballpark after. The best.

Residual pressure valves I put in during the disc conversion as I am using the original distribution block. Don't seem to do a damm thing.

The Wilwood inline "cylinders" are yours in that picture?
I was curious about that and thought this might be the case. Thanks for responding!

We were parked right across from his setup at the Grand Sierra and yes he is a master. They were doing a demo on my buddys 60 Impala. Letting people polish it with guidance of course. Did not keep him from having a little pucker factor though. My other bud bought 2 of his used during the show buffers at a good discount. Nice folks at Adams.

Used to be a cutoff of 5k registered cars. Now it is unlimited. To give an idea we came down with 6 cars with only 1 trailerd . But we are not normal. the quality of cars was unreal. Can you really drive a Blown Hemi Willys A/G cross country? I saw at least 10 of them. Not all Hemis and not all blown but you get the idea.

I know there was a blue '66 Mustang that drove all the way from Texas.

Drove this from Colorado.



Saw a car with Alberta plates on the way out on Sunday.
