Mopars in the Park 2017 Farmington MN

We need to get together and make it out to the Mopar Ponderosa. I don't have a clue how to get there. Last year my group left and I said I will catch up. I got lost and we ended up in town for some good Pizza. The Ponderosa is quite a place. You have to experience it at least once.View attachment 1715012009 View attachment 1715012010 View attachment 1715012011 View attachment 1715012012 View attachment 1715012013 View attachment 1715012014
It is fun out there at Gregs! Funny, that is my old 70 Runner that's wrecked. The guy I sold it to back in '87 had it for 10 years and was showing off to his buddy, hit third gear and lost control and put it around a tree. He was lucky to survive it. No seat belt on and was going wide open at the top of second with 3.23's in it he was going pretty fast. Always makes me sad to see it out there after all the work I put into it.
 
I will be at the show with my 71 340 4 speed orange duster. Been going to that show since '86 when I was a 18 year old kid with my 70 Road Runner. It is a great show and always great to see people year after year there and spend the weekend catching up and looking at some really nice mopars. Looking forward to it.
 
Detailing "Betty" Getting closer to being ready for show put 150 miles on her today! A few bugs to work out, but man she runs like a champ. I better stop driving it pretty soon she will hit 24,000 miles lol

Will be attending like every year. Love going to the swap meet. This year im bringing a truck and trailer. Gonna buy a few things, if they there.
 
Why couldn't it be Farmington NM lol I'm close to there
 
Tasha got some free photos from shutterfly. Looks like I've got some new garage art.

That was a great memory making day @skep419 , I wish I could make it this year, I have been known to just jump on a plain and show up from Arkansas , Thats me on the far left :):):):)
 
Damn what happened to that lol!
The guy I sold the car to wrapped it around a tree at a pretty high speed. He was showing off to a buddy and lost control of the car. He bought it from me the summer of '87 and wrecked it in around 96-97 if I remember correct.

Oh yea, he said he was in the top of second and hit third and lost it. With the 3.23 gears and it had cop car rims and huge tires on it so id say he was moving! He thought around 60 or so.

Yes very true! He was pretty busted up. Greg, the guy who owns the mopar ponderosa bought it for parts and just parked it there for a conversation piece! Lol. Still makes me sad when I see it out there. It was a fun car I put a ton of money into the engine and body. It was a really fast car when I got it done. It just flat out hauled *** on the highway!

Yea you'll have to do that! No you really don't. I also had a 69 GTS 340 4 speed a few years before I had the 'runner and the fellow I sold it to had it stolen out of his garage down by lake harriett. They found the car out at Burnsville center and it had been just trashed, they beat it with a hammer and actually looked like they jumped it as well. I got a call from the gy to see if I wanted any parts off it and he told me what happened to it. I bought the air cleaner and the valve covers off it. Funny thing is a few months later I was taking the scrap metal from the dealer I worked at to the recycle place and there it was on the top of a small stack of cars. I asked the guy if I could buy some stuff off it, the console, the GTS tail panel and a couple other little things but the would not sell anything. Another bummer and wrecked mopar.

Oh yes it really did. I busted my *** at 2 jobs after school to build that GTS. It was a solid 12.60 car back in '85-86. Fun car for a high school kid!
 
Im looking to go for my first time! Might drag the ole 69 D100 along
