Dick Landy's full race Coronet... way cool, I've never seen this car before



77 Dodge truck made cooler by adding Lil Red Express exhaust stacks





these red rail road lamp lenses were saved from the garbage can when the railroad company was replacing them with newer gear about 40 years ago, and the truck owner happened by and talked to the railroad people who said, I got a truck load of them, whatever isn't on that truck I get back to it won't bother me in the least

Early 70s GTX and 74 Road Runner






interesting van, didn't have a lounge in the back, it has a motorbike instead

 



I'm sure this is a replica, but it's got Richard Petty's signature on it, and it pretty cool to look over, like how the fender scoops are blended in, not bolt on



Napa Regal Ride shock absorbers? On a race Bird? 

So I looked around online and found that


it's very rare to see 1970s station wagons... not that they are something I would seek out instead of muscle cars, sports cars, or race cars... but when I got to the Mopar Spring Fling I came across these and photographed them to share with you... it's a strange thing that wagons were made by everyone until the 1980s. When the mini vans came along, that was the end of the wagon. Now, they just make SUVs


This is a Plymouth Suburban.... I didn't know they still used the Suburban name after the 50s, but the internet says they used the name until 1972













That's a LOT of woodgrain sticker

there are so few original owner muscle cars anymore, I'm shocked to find this Daytona's original owner is still alive

great choice of rims too

body colored bumpers and hidden headlights, terrific combo




muscle cars look better with race numbers on the doors





a Grandma car if there ever was one, a slant 6 Barracuda (it's a travesty to have an underpowered car with a cool aggressive name)



for the long roof fans

 


original upholstery material found somewhere and used to replace the aged and worn interior




a Sierra Spectator. The backward facing seat brought the passenger number to 9. 

It was a 1957, the first year for the 727 trans and torsion bar front suspension, and came with a 325 Polysphere
