Spring Fling 2012 photos that show what it looks like in general

 Spring Fling, annual Mopar car show in Van Nuys, usually March or April

The new Challengers have a big car club that shows up every year and did a great color swatch job this year



 It's about the only place to see old vans
 Unusual forgotten Mopars like this Mirada
 or find 1950's and 60's cars with transplanted hemis like this Belvedere

 You won't see old Dodge trucks in many places outside a Moapr car show
 Bring cold drinks, because it's usually in the 80's and humid. There are plenty of vendors charging the usual 3 to 4 dollars a coke, 2 or 3 dollars a bottle of water. 

Petty's 1971 Road Runner was at Spring Fling


the white house appearance that is referred to on the above call board is here: http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2010/01/nixon-had-race-cars-over-to-white-house.html

Some cool things I found at Sping Fling 2012



 Tubs and huge Mickey Thompsons. Awesome



 the above is a 66 or 67 Charger speedometer, the design is unsual among speedometers, and looks so cool when lit up in the dark

















Compliments to the guy that fixed up a 72 Barracuda... but why the cartoonish exhaust? Looks like something from "The Mask"


 Thank the car gods he didn't put on a wing of any design. This airfoil is fine


Kenny Wayne Sheppard brought both Mopars to Spring Fling
