were there.My pick of the day had to be a black,flat black hood(with 6 pack
scoop)69 440+6 roadrunner,black interior,super straight bod,with dog dishes
and red lines.arararar.My ride will be ready for the racing this weekend at
London Ontario Mopar Nationals,I'll let ya know my pick at this show too.Last
year it was a 65yr old guys 70 Charger 500 Hemi,white,white interior,dog
dishes,red lines and red tail stripe.

assistant: Oh, man....I've seen the Hemi under glass.  I was very impressed./  My
brother-in-law races a '69 Road Runner, in the pro-gas division.  He was
the Div. 5 champ here a few yrs. ago.  He also races a rail, with all
Mopar mechanical drive.  He isn't doing so well with the rail, so he is
back with the Roadrunner.  He is safer in that anyway.  The roadrunner
does a wheelie for the 1st. 1/8 mile then comes down to finish out the
race and beat his opponent.  I would like to see him at Indy.  He is
seriously considering it.  Time will tell.  I look forward to hearing
Herb McCandless and Larry Shepherd talk also.  Yes, I'm also a grease
monkey.  I can do brakes, exhaust, and engine overhauls.  My husband is
amazed when I can be wrenching on a car one hour, and the next, be
working on some needlework.  My husband drive dirt circle track.  Last
yr. he drove a '78 Dodge Monaco.  This yr. he is building a '75 Duster.
 Racing season has been going for almost 2 months and the car is 75%
built.  Our sponsers are getting antsy for us to be out there.  I'm
going to let my husband talk to them this next time.

assistant: Hi Olav,
     The problem is to find them in good condition, the
only Dodge's with police packages now are the Aries
with a 4 Cyl. 4.6 engine, they are good but rare to
find in county auctions. In the next 2 or 3 years we
are going to have lots of Chevy Caprice, but I don't
like them much, I rather get Crown Vics, I also like
Grand Fury's, but also very rare. Chevy won't make any
more police package caprices after 1996, and they'll
only make 12000 this year. Ford will still make the
Crown Vics with the full police package but the engines
will be 5.0 and 4.6 or 4.8 can't remember now, but I
like the 89 to 91 look better. I also want to get a
couple of 86 Plymouths from a friend and restore them.
Well let me know about your Dodge.
