cool Mopars under the covered feature area at the Mopars at the Strip 2012 event


 I think this is a 64 Plymouth Super Stock Fury
 incredibly clean, and soon will be featured ion Mopar Action Magazine

 coolest seat covers I've seen in a while
 looking factory fresh. I wondered how the jack was supposed to be stored, and now I have this to refer to. They don't have the lug nut wrench though.
 Just cool colors on the chrome

Hot Rod, Car Craft, and the El Segundo "Automobile Driving Museum" are teaming up for car shows this summer, next one is tomorrow Friday April 27th

Makes me wonder how happy Freiburger is that he doesn't have to store any of these at his place
 Recently featured in the last 2 issues of Hot Rod magazine, this Ranchero was a tribute recreation of the late 1960's Hot Rod Magazine Ranchero that went off roading in the Carrera Panamerica (I think) and they intending this new one to go have fun in Alaska with. Yeah, intended, because that didn't happen. Instead they went to the Grand Canyon.


 Freiburger's 1970 Super Bee, and I think that hemi was one of Ray Bartons dragster engines... way over the top for a street car, and they had to rebuild it and lower the crazy aspect of some parts becaue they couldn't make it streetable.

1970 Coronets compared, at the Mopars at the Strip 2012

 Differences like the hoods, here are 3 types. Only the above is the one I've only ever seen on the 1970 Coronet of any optional type, but the above is also a car made by the owner the way he wanted it. The R/T scoop, the 1969 bumble bee stripe, the yellow striped rims... looks damn good.
 The above seems to have had a nice choice of the 1969 hood scoops, and good choice of rims


 not only does this one have the 440 six pack hood from the '69 1/2 Super Bee and Road Runner, but a purpose built scoop on the carb to catch more air than that ginormous hood does...
 I took the tail panel photos to show the difference in the brake lights, from the above yellow Super Bee
 I can't dig up reference photos of 1970 Super Bees and Coronets  right now, but the above taillight design might be due to the "500" model, or the Canadian plates could indicate the small difference the Canadian models recieved
This is the first car I've seen with a voltmeter to keep a check on the battery, but not the last, I found another later that day.
