Captainkirk's Duster project
No, I didn't go to Spartan, but knew lots of people who did. I'm sure we crossed paths on Peoria and witnessed the same great street action. Do you remember the Saturday night when the Street Machine Nationals were in town at the Tulsa Convention Center in 1979? It was PACKED! Solid 4 lanes of cool cars from 11th to 71st on Peoria. We usually hung out at Bud's Thriftywise parking lot cuz thats where John D. (Orange AAR) worked.
Ok, Ok I have pics! I'll try and post them here.
The first pic is of John's AAR in the World of Wheels Show 1979 Very nice and well kept car for 9 years old. John still has it.
The next pic is of a Saturday afternoon meeting of our un-official Peoria Mopar Club. You can see my T/A and John's AAR with a great group of classic Mopars. The blue '68 GTX is my friend Ed S. from K.C., MO down to visit me in Tulsa. Recognize any of the cars?
The next couple are of my T/A just after I got the stripes on after paint. God I miss that car! I re-built it in 1979 after buying it wrecked in 1977. 340-6 4speed, Ralley Dash, 3.91, B-3 blue, w/louvers and black - black/white hounds tooth cloth interior. Rare piece that was doomed to be wrecked again. <cry>. I didn't wreck it. It passed down a couple of owners and was the victim of a DUI. It was totaled. The whole story of this car would take another thread. Maybe later.
The last two are of my 71 Charger Super Bee just after purchase. Original 383 4-speed console, A4 Winchester Gray Metallic, Black - Black/Orange cloth interior. I tranplanted a 440-6 in it in 1977. I drove that car till late 1979 when I traded it to John for a 68 Dart GTS 340 4-speed. I believe his brother still has it in Tulsa.
Yes, great great memories. As my memory improves, I'm sure I can dredge up some more. That's all for now.
All the best,
