The Dodge Challenger Message Board

It was pretty chilly out this morn. 39 degrees. reminded me of our night in Ely, Nevada..here are some nice Challengers that were there today. There were 189 Cars,, 7 MoPars,,3 Challenger R/T's including mine. One was a National caliber 1970 Hemi Powered R/T owned and restored by Mr. Ken Mosier,,(Finer Details) a "class act" who is very knowledgeable and has restored some of the nicest Challengers in the world.

This one is a 440 powered 1970,,very nice,,auto in the console, 8.75 rear

Here is one awesome 1970 Challenger R/T,,original restored Hemi car, Pistol Gripped 4 Speed, very rare.

More of Ken's Challenger,,I REALLY LOVE this R/T!!

This car is very Correct, unlike my pile.

Another,, the detailing was incredible on this R/T!!

A cool AMC owned since new by the original owner,,whom I went to grade school with!

A Hemi powered 1970 Plymouth GTX,,my shop instructors personal vehicle.

The elephant plant.

A cool 340 powered Duster

The 'lil' 340 plant. The best smallblock ever made!!!

This Cobra Kit car was really nice,,it was also 5.7 Hemi powered!

5.7 Gen III MoPar Hemi

I'm sure if the Judges 'knew' MoPar they would have given Ken the Best MoPar of Show but he won Peoples Choice and Top 25. I won Best MoPar and Top 25. I told Ken he deserved the best MoPar!

And one more of Ken's R/T

big congrats ed, love the pics and yes that hemi chally is SUPERclean

Congrats! Nice pics.

That isn't the Hemi Challenger once owned by Richard Ward here in the UK is it?
I can't remember if Richard's had a white top or not. But I do seem to remember it sold to someone in the mid-west.

Thanks for the great pictures there Ed, i downloaded most of them to my Mopar library! Well done on picking up the prizes. Can't believe only 7 Mopars in 189 entries!!? That AMC was so tiny, i have never seen one like that -what year is it? That must have been the smallest US made car of its time surely. No wonder they held so many 1/4 mile records.

Th eng bay in that 70 RT is just incredible. Does Ken drive it or is it trailered everywhere?

A couple of questions...what is the purpose of the blank yellow stripe on the rad support directly in front on that Challenger?

Also, the battery circuit breaker bar on the GTX - where do i get them from? I have never seen them here and would like to buy a couple. What a great idea.

Dave: I dont know but he told me it was a customers Car. From the looks of it,,I dont think it's driven that much. Steve: The Yellow 'stripe' is actually a service decal for the engines cooling system,,available at Year One, Paddock,ECS ect. The battery dis-connect can be had at many different parts stores, Farm&Lawn&Garden centers, or at Summit or Jeggies.

Yes, it was Andy, and it was very 'correct' he also has 1 of the 2 reported smallblock Shakers made in 70. It's undergoing a complete concours resto and should be ready by the 2010 show season. His Challengers have won both the MoPar Nats and the Carlisle shows. He does VERY nice work "The Finer details" is his business.

Forgot to mention Steve. This is gm country,,90% or more of the 'muscle cars' you see around these here parts are either shivy, or some other gm type of car,,there were at least 50 vettes there! . They all look the same the people all dress the same,,they even smell the same. This GTX is 472 Hemi Powered,,gets more attention than a chick in a bikini,,lays down a strip of molten rubber 100 ft. long,(I know this for a fact as I was smiling as he wooded the 2-4s next to my home and lit em up). He also has a new Z06 Vette. It barley got noticed by anyone with all those vettes there. His GTX had people all over it and Won a Top 25 award.. He's a typical GM guy but fell to the 'Hemi spell" a few months ago and bought this GeeTex and is thinking of selling his Z06!!
