Newest addition to the fleet...

Dad got bored, and bought a project or two for the winter. Included were a '66 Dodge Charger (Gold, original 383 car), a '67 Dodge Charger (Red, original 318 car), and an entire trailer full of parts. The '66 is going to be the fixer-upper, the '67 will be a parts car. However, the '67 is even in pretty decent shape, so dad said he might fix that later, too. They both look pretty bare bones now, but believe me - we have at least one, probably three, of everything missing.

Nice! I can't wait to see the progress. I sincerely hope y'all save the '67 as well. Judging by the pics, it looks like a pretty solid car.

Awesome projects, I looked at a 66 not running a few years ago, he wanted 5K, probably worth it, but more than I could afford. Good old T/A's classic performance tires.

Watch "The French Connection". One of the best car chase scenes ever.

I dunno... my dad said the same thing, I watched the whole movie and thought, "so where's the amazing car chase?"

It's not bad, but it's not the best.

I'd say:

Bullitt (Even if it has mistakes)
The Italian Job (the original)
The Driver (AMAZING... if you can find the movie)

I agree. Not the best, just one of the best.

Found some paperwork in the '67 as well. Original window sticker listing options and sticker price ($3,807), receipt from a resale on December 15, 1970 for $1,985.40 (minus the $300 trade in he got from his '64 VW Beetle), and a promotional card listing the standard safety features. Awesome.

I can upload pics of those, if you guys are interested.

Hell yes! I'd love to see them. Now you have to fix up the '67. You have it's provenance!
