...at one time I owned all 3 of them among others....that picture was shot by Phil Kunz for a magazine article many years ago....

...the Red/Red T/A 4spd I sold to Mason Dixon in Tampa Fl....no idea where it is now

...the Plum T/A 4spd I gave to my son...he sold it, I bought it back a few years later and it still resides in my garage...50K mile correct with a 25 year old correct color repaint...car still looks like new

...the PPink T/A AT...I gave it to my daughter and she sold it....it is still in town and owned by friends of mine

...I mostly owned Ebodys and winged cars....I have lotsa pix, but I'll bore you with those later

...I still have too many cars, but the only Ebodys are a lime 383/AT 70 Challenger RT conv, the Plum T/A and a white T/A with 15K original miles, original paint etc etc...blue int/4spd

..I also have a 6-BBL Bird, a 69 1/2 Bee and a 66 Belvedere conv....the rest are new MOPARS (Vipers/Prowlers) or GM Muscle and Vettes

...the lime RT is awaiting a resto...

VERY nice collection of cars. :thumbsup:

by **Eddie** » 25 Feb 2008 11:34

Daytona, first, you have a sweet collection of Muscle there! Mason Dixon-is he the radio announcer that frequents the Nats well... frequently? :mrgreen:

I saw his write up in the magazines. Second-please bore us with more pics!!! :thumbsup:

(There is a fellow on this board that has a 'link' with New Castle...I think his name is Dave or Super Dave or sumthin like that) :s024:

by **dave-r** » 25 Feb 2008 11:59

The real and original "Newcastle" is spelt all one word. I can't convince the guys at Year One of that though. :lol:

by **Eddie** » 25 Feb 2008 12:02

I guess they're the experts eh Dave? :lol:

After all god forbid you're parts end up here in Indiana!!! :mrgreen:

...I've never seen Mason at the Nats, but that doesn't mean he wasn't there....I've been every year since 84....I sold Mason a green Daytona in 1988, and the red/red T/A...there is a Dave that used to live here with an A12 car...other than him, I'm not sure who it might be

...the green Daytona I sold to Mason Dixon about 20 years ago...found her again at the Nats in 04....current owner lives in Cleveland

Daytona here is pic of my pile. :mrgreen:

by **Eddie** » 25 Feb 2008 12:06

My first car was 70 SuperBird, had it all of 2-3 weeks, had to sell it in the mid 70's, insurance was killer on those cars, regretted it ever since.

...a real beauty....HEMI

...the only HEMI Challenger I have owned, an RT/SE

...it was JS29R0B100015, first one ever built, used for the Car and Driver road test, Nov 69 (I think)

by **Eddie** » 26 Feb 2008 1:11

I wished it was a Hemi, Daytona. It's 440SixPack but it's an original/restored N-96 1970 car. According to Daniel Banker, my car is very unique in the fact thats its a console delete, 4 speed car. Dan has 5 1970 N-96 cars. Your 1970 Hemi RT/SE/N-96 is/was incredible, surely a 1 of 1 car in that combination. Do you happen to know where it's at today, if you dont mind me asking. :lol:

I have 'registered' my car with Daniel Banker, he is the Curator of the Dodge Challenger 1970 N-96 original cars. 184 total built, with 1 340 and 1 383 N-96 produced along with the 184 440 SixPack and 426 Hemi's. Thanks for posting your cars, they are all beautiful!! :thumbsup:

Never heard of the place.

Looking at your photo I am not suprised your trousers got stolen. They will steal the hubcaps off a moving car in that dump. :lol:

...I really enjoyed my visit to England, everyone was very friendly and most helpful in understanding their language :lol:

London was a little to busy for me though

...I wonder how many people had a Superbird for their first car

...I bought a 6BBL/AT Bird in Rushville last year, tried to buy it 25 years ago, but the seller wasn't selling, and I was patient... :lol:

loading her up for the trip to my house...

Hey Daytona. Eddie and I would like to know if you would adopt us. :lol:

Our resume's are not very long but we are house broken and do come with our own Challengers. :lol:

I plan to have my car at the Indy cylinder Head show this weekend and will be at the Indy Mopar Club booth most of the time.

Are you coming to the Show?

Very nice collection :thumbsup:

Bob
