I'm going out to dinner with Mike (behind his wife holding the baby)) & Bruce (next to him) this evening. Nik, in front of me, sadly, is no longer with us.

Ah Nik and Jamie. Wonderful folks to us when I joined. RIP Nik...
Bruce has been instrumental in my little plan here, along with Dennis and Joe M.

Back then we drove our cars to the meets. Heck, I can remember going to the first Chryslers at Carlisle and sleeping overnight in the backseat of my 69 GTX.

It's true. I know I drove my '68 Bee hundreds of miles (3.91 gear and all) to shows all up through the NE.
Some epic road trips came from that...
Also admittedly, I took my new-then '85 GLH Turbo to others just to get better mileage.
I was pretty sure you were one of those two, but I thought you once posted a picture of your younger self that looked very similar to the guy I guessed. Oh well, story of my life; so close and yet so far.So close...
Big hint: flip flops.

I had me some hair in those days. This was my GLH in those days.
Now? Still got some hair and about 50 pounds more (thanks to thyroid cancer/removal).

is he one of those guys who was born with a beard?
He lost his hair up top and kept the beard. He had a 1970 Coronet R/T 440-6 4 speed convertible, vin # 000003.

There were some truly amazing cars in that club.
Otis Chandler fished many of them out.

Refresh my memory, please?
2 or 3 Ebody Hemi convertibles and a 68 or 69 Hemi Coronet R/T convertible light green not sure think a 4 speed.
In the video the yellow Cuda came out Connecticut another Cuda a plum crazy one from Canada.You can see the green Coronet as they pan to the yellow Cuda, Chandler paid $50k. I took a picture of the yellow Cuda and the Super Stock& Drag Iliustrated red Hemi Cuda convertible drag test car. The person developing the picture cut the back half off the yellow Cuda. edit

Thanks y'all. Just to be clear, you're saying some of the members bought cars from him - or he from them?
At 44 seconds, you can see my old blue 68 Hemi GTX convertible next to the rallye green Coronet R/T. The brown 1 of 1 70 Coronet convertible was featured on Graveyard Carz. All three were owned by NEHOA members. We had some awesome cars!
Starting around 1987-88, Chandler bought up all the Hemi convertibles that he could find & I'd say that he was responsible for initiating the desirability of Hemi cars.
