My car has them all. Would we feel at home at the Old Town Kissimmee cruises? Won't hurt my feelings if you say no. Kinda got turned off when they advertise for "show quality" cars. I'm into drivers, but dig the primo restorations , too.
 
Not bad at 20 feet.:)

Heck, our Duster is pretty nasty, and nowhere near "show quality", but we enjoy the shows just fine. We consider it "drive quality", one that shows "it's been rode hard and put away wet" as my Dad use to say LOL.

I think your ride looks frigging awesome! Show it off!

Like throwing a publicly advertised party and requesting only quality people show up. :D
Yea, good luck with that.
Light em up good on your way out.:lol:
 
Park it in between two E bodies and sit back and listen. Makes for a good pissed off attitude later. Ask me how I know. Then when it’s over ask them if they need help loading em on the trailer.:rofl:
 
Who cares what anyone else thinks; it’s your ride, drive it with pride!
I am proud of it. Very. Especially how my 17 year old has taken an interest and put his sweat in it too. Just had a specific question about the vibe going on at the Kissimmee Old Town Cruise. They specifically say show quality cars. Which this is not. Just like I wouldn't take it to a F100 truck cruise. But we love her warts!

Exactly! Was wondering if I didn't get my point across.

Thanks Pat. I appreciate your comments.
 

To me and most people a 40 plus year car you drive anywhere is a show car. Plus it’s a Mopar and around here people don’t get to see anything but fords and chevy.
 
Now that sounds like a plan!

Yeah that's probably a good tip, thanks! Maybe mufflers too.......

Nah, take plug wire off so it misses and oil inject it so it smokes like Joe Dirt's car and THEN park it between two nose in the air E body owners.
Gotta rev it a few times before you shut it off also.
 
It's fun pulling up with my ol' 66 and attracting attention.

here's my take on this
there are going to be dads there with their kids
little 9-10-12 year olds who might be exposed to muscle cars for the first time

kids, who are about to enter a very trying time in their life...but might make it through pure and unscathed if they have an old project wrench on

do you really think a trailer queen is going to inspire them to shoot for the moon?
maybe marry for money and buy one?

the way i see it, you owe it to this kid to show up there and present him with a vision he can attain to
a mopar, ratty, perhaps, but build with love, and one a budget he and his dad could keep

it is your call, but if this kids ends up selling drugs or his body in a dark alley way to make the money to BUY a trailer queen, because no one showed him they can be build, and dont need to be perfect, im blaming YOU

Amen to that.
 
Drive it enjoy it and who cares what anybody else says, looks awesome. The kids will love it and remember these times no matter how it looks.
 
Moparmandan, drive it and show it as if it was the last one left in the solar system. Your car looks show quality from the pictures I see, like the color for sure. Our small town has car shows throughout the year, and the proceeds go to the towns veterans so they can enjoy a nice meal for their service for our great country. I am for this, and take my Dart and gladly pay the small fee for a good cause. This is a picture of the Dart on its good side, the looks do not bother me any, I know I have a classic.
