Went to another cruise night last night with the Charger and Eddie Munster from the old t.v. show was there signing autograph's and he owns replica's of both the Munster Coach and Dragula. It was cool to see them in person.

Beautiful hood and view over it!!
Let’s see Eddie.
He was at Iola a couple of years ago with the Dragula replica. He was charging for autographs. He took the car for a spin - it sounded healthy. The original Dragula was stolen.
The Mrs. and I went to a show today. Stopped at an Amish farm on the way home and picked up some mums. @Thunderlugs liked the utility use of the car and thinks I'll be hauling 2x4s next.

Nice! I drove mine to Lowe's today (sorry no pics) to buy a new toilet. I got it stuffed into the trunk and a guy came over and said he was watching me, thinking there was no way that huge box would fit in the 68s trunk...he was impressed when the deck lid gently clicked shut. We had a good chuckle over it...The Mrs. and I went to a show today.

It was 97 degrees in Modesto today, we hit the road at about 2 PM so it was heating up nicely...
Our destination was Priest Station which is right at the top of the Old Priest Grade..
The elevation in Modesto about 70 ft above sea level, Priest Station 3,100 ft..
So your climbing slightly for a good bit of the drive, the killer is the last 1.8 miles with just over 1700 feet of elevation change, parts of the Old Priest Grade push 18-20% grade so if your car is gonna overheat Priest Grade will let you know it in short order...
So about a 45 mile drive each way but the drive home is easy... The drive up is a real torture test if your cooling system isn't up to the task...
I had the A/C on the entire drive, the two cars I was traveling with shut theirs off for the last couple miles, not that they wouldn't have been fine but they didn't want to push their luck...
Anyway, as I've posted before I have a digital temp readout on my EFI handheld so I track the temp pretty accurately....
Leaving the house it heated up to 185 pretty quickly, then slowly worked it's way up to 204 which is where it seems to stay with the A/C on...
The last ten miles before the big climb the grade increases & the temp locked in at 208... Then the big final climb, 1700 ft in 1.8 miles... The temp stayed right at 208 & as I pulled into the parking lot of the restaurant it blipped up to 210... But by the time I'd parked the car it dropped back to 204....

Been there! Awesome cars. And I'm liking that Fury 'vert! I almost bought a '67 recently, probably shoulda pulled the trigger...oh well. Which one's yours?

The green one... I've worked on all of them, that Fury drives incredible since I rebuilt the front end & added disc brakes... The upgraded tires & 17' wheels helped too I'm sure... A car that size makes 17" wheels look completely normal...
Sweet! That thing looks like a great cruiser. That would be a cool car cruise, I've only been there on a bike (***-powered, not gas powered lol). Rode there and back from knight's ferry with a friend that was living in Modesto at the time. I'd much rather make that run in my mopar!

Brutal ride... I did it when I was much younger, actually from Modesto to Yosemite.... Summer of 76.... I also use to drive the grade every day in a 67 Ford truck with 3 on the tree while working for the CDF... After high school but prior to joining the Navy...
This is a pretty cool sculpture..

Needed a short change of pace, to get our brains back on the task at hand, so a little morning foreplay with the Bird chasing the Bee... even took her for Fries and Onion Rings at a chip wagon!
Dropped by Midland Chrysler to put a real car on their lot for the first time in decades. I wouldn't buy a bolt there...
Drivers to your cars!
13 grand a year for property taxes and we get a gravel road.
Starting to feel like I'm being followed. Some hot brunette in a fancy car.
Just one more wedding proposal, she's had 6 already... 25 minutes into our cruise!
I wouldn't buy a bolt here, but I couldn't resist the picture.
Therapy just shows in so many Blues. This House of Kolors paint is nuts!
Hot.. and I mean " I wish it had A/C" ! Her words....
