Road Trip Gulf Coast to NorCal

[biomedtechguy]

I have met both you guys and wish I could be there for the cruise. I moved from Oregon to southern New Mexico so it is about halfway. Alas the Runner is still up in the PNW waiting on some new paint. Maybe next year, have fun and let Steve turn you on to some Boudin.

You're a great guy Wagonman!
I sure wish you were here for this.

I'm living vicariously through you guys! Hope to see lots of pictures!

I can't wait until I do some serious driving next year!

First day, cruised along the beach until I saw some activity in downtown Gulfport, which is only a few blocks off Beach Blvd.
Live band, decent turnout for so early in the week.
Killer 71 R/T SE Charger. 500 cu in running a 5psi pulley. He usually runs a 13 psi pulley at the track, so he said.

Except for the hair, the resemblance is uncanny.

I'm not so sure about that RC, Dennis doesn't look anything like Frankenstein's monster...

If I posted a picture of my schwanztucker, Madeline Kahn would agree!

Not sure if it rained, filthy cover did a nice job on the trunk lid.
Now the Joe Dirt of the cruise.

Guy at the Big Easy Diner asked where we are from, said San Jose. He said, “where is that?
Guy in traffic asked if we are really from Ca. Most think car is just tagged. Haven’t seen otherCalifornia tags yet. Locals are friendly and welcoming. First picture last post is the
Jefferson Davis home. 93 Octane and no ethanol at that price? Try not to get used to that.

$3.19/gal pure gasoline

Yeah Darius. I'm sorry you aren't here my friend! I hope that there's still a chance that you can make it one year!!

Count me in too! Darius, you and I will make it next time and hopefully john and Dennis again too. I’m California born but lived in the south for 3 years and worked at a New Orleans Cajun chain restaurant so I’ve got a dose of southern blood in my soul and love going back.

Coronet loves it. Running sweet, efi too. Did a Dukes of Hazzard u turn in front of the Hampton. Locals looked scared. Maybe they are tourists. I parked it and denied the smoke.

Awesome!! Every time I've worked down there folks have always been friendly... Just gotta deal with the humidity... It's late enough in the year now that its probably fine... Last time I was down there was July of 17....

Actually, Dennis is politically like:

This pic Dennis posted is a group of local
MOPAR owners (fanatics) I met a couple of years ago. Let's just say that a YARD FULL of Mopar muscle cars is attention getting. The InViolet/Black 70 Roadrunner has a 6.1 Gen 3 HEMI. They have at least 1 Hellcat Challenger, and some old school muscle cars too.
Here's the pic from Dennis:

Here's a few more pix from today:
Pistol grip 4 speed!

440 4 speed!

How often is there a chance encounter with a 70 GTX at a gas station that you have pulled into in your V-Code 70 Roadrunner?
