My view from the drivers seat

Grew up in Summit, Il. The Chi Town Hustler were the local guys, Farkonas, Coil, and Minick.
Local heroes along with Gary Dyer.
 
My first MOPAR and still my favorite almost 35 yrs later, at least in my garage :)

A different view...pictures taken outside what used to be called Moroso Motorsports Park in W Palm Beach after a car show in the mid to late 90's.

I bought a Magnum GT with a T bar roof last year, and have a Challenger T/A I’ve owned since I was a kid.
The ad in my avatar seems very appropriate, except I’m not a golfer, I have a T/A instead of an AAR, I tore up Lehigh street next to a Naval air station instead of 111th street, and I think the Magnum in the ad is a ‘79 not a ‘78.
Close enough!
 
My car is about the fact that it was one of the first B Bodys to be converted to a 5.7. The engine was a new 2005 300 Chrysler 5.7 and it was left with the stock engine cover to show what a clean drop would be like. It's a test mule and been in mopar action magazine and it was built 17 years. ago. I like it.
 
Mine is just my 69 chargers rally cluster that I added two oem looking extra switches to. Had to build a forming die to bend the aluminum SE sheet metal.
What are two extra oem switches for?
 
Well, mine is my original buyer Bee.
 
It’s my Dart Kart from when I was a kid. Dad saved it all these years and I got it back 10 years ago. It was the start of my mechanical passion. It had a total of 3 different engines, all Briggs, on it during my days. Learned how engines worked, rebuilt my first motor.

One of my other loves...I ride about 10K miles a year with lots of climbing (***-powered, not gas powered!) so I thought the picture was fitting.

Reminds me how even though I consider myself in the "I drive the crap outta my Mopar" camp....I doubt it sees 10,000 miles in a year:rolleyes:
As I got older my bike saw fewer miles and lately my knees are saying 'enough' :( Now it's just short rides maybe once a week and kinda slow at that.
 
I'm guessing everyone knows who that is in mine.....but what about yours? :)

For the ones that don't know who that is in mine....it's Clint Eastwood in the movie Dirty Harry from 1971.

"A man’s got to know his limitations." -Clint Eastwood, Magnum Force-

This Avatar is my 1971 Dodge Charger 500 that originally was a 383 4-bbl, 727, 8-3/4".
The "Bee" paint job is based off an old photo of the '71 Charger review in one of the 1970 performance Car magazines (Maybe Hot Rod?).
I think it might have been a pre-production review. Color is actually Ford "Pop Yellow".
Current drivetrain is 400 stroked to 500", built 727, and Strange S60.
