What a ride

[69 Runner]

Well....where to start.

Been spending some time in North Carolina, and over the Easter weekend we went to Cherokee for some gambling, then on to Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. just north of there is a muscle car museum....which is where tha Car **** is from. It isn't all Mopar, but the stuff that isn't is kinda interesting.

While in Gatlinburg the A/C adapter for my laptop took a dump. I also fell victim (for the first time) to pollen (yipee). but we saw lots of stuff, rode the big sky lift thingie, and I got a tattoo.

Skip to Tuesday. Both my flights were late taking off (thanks DELTA) and when I got home I found that the ants had killed the air pump on my septic system, the phone company had killed my phone AND internet when pulling in some new cables, couldn't watch TV cause the remote mysteriously was MIA, battery in my truck (which was only a year old) was so dead (how...dead....was it) it was so dead it couldn't be charged, after replacing the battery the truck ran really hot due to a bad cap and cracked overflow tank, struts wouldn't hold the hood open............

sigh.......

On with the Car ****

Sounds like a good trip. Was that Landys Pro Stock dart or a copy? I thought Hemi Fred had bought and restored it. Great Pixs.

The sign claimed that it was in the "same condition as last raced". It claims it's the real deal. I got a pic of the black Cuda's fender tag to see if it was real. Can't really read it, but I could make out it's really a TX9 car and a V code

Great pics, thanks for sharing them. Nice tattoo as well, I got my last one over 10 years ago now(only have 3) but it never takes much to make me want another one. I think I see the "JUNKYARD DOG" in my future, aah but where will I put it?.

Loved seeing the Landy car;always liked those '71-75 Pro Stock A-bodies. Thank you for the great shots!

Thanks again guys, I really appreciate it. This museum wasn't that big, but as you can see had some pretty cool cars. TWO Superbirds, real shaker cudas, Yenko, the 427 4 speed Impala, A-12 car, Charger with a sunroof......

Here's a link to the place if interested http://musclecarmuseum.com/

There is also a auto museum in Gatlinburg that has about 40 "star cars", or cars used in TV and movies, but I didn't much care to see "Herbie" :grin:

Here are a few I took at Mopars at the strip in Vegas this year.. Was a great time, just the sound of those SSAA Cuda's brought tears to my eyes.

PS it was fun to see the new school guys try to go up against old school cars, some pulled good but the 60' times they get killed by the old school cars.

 

[djwhog]
