When is the last time you saw a 66-74 Charger "in the wild?"

[69bronzeT5]

Saw a wingless Superbird near College Park,MD today in somebody's yard partially under a cover.

We need pics

How about a Coronet in the wild?  This lady has been driving around in this car for 40 years now.  There's a pillow on the torn and worn seats and a big note taped to the dash that reads " PUT IN P BEFORE STARTING ".

Nice car. Someone needs to buy it from the ol' lady.....and put her ass in a used Neon.

Here's that (correct me if Im wrong guys) 69 roadrunner I mentioned in the other thread.

 This is an older pic, but I kinda thought it looked "wild" BTW the weather was warm today unfortunatly the roads were still wet or I would've gotten my own "in the wild" pics today!!

In late spring '07, I was on I-85S goin' towards Charlotte 11 a.m. about, and saw in a wing goin' north. Then another.  ??? 2 wings? An event somewhere, of course. Then in a few minutes, 2 more.

That night, I registered and posted in one of the Mopar forums - someone would know about that.

A couple of responses posted a day or 2 later. They had been at Petty's home earlier, and were goin' to another meet. Some one referred to one of the pilots by first name; no surprise.

One was a metallic olive? green Daytona black vinyl, I think, the one Superbird had the Petty race scheme, and another Daytona was silver / black, I think. Can't remember the fourth. Some one knows, I'm sure

Blade do you live in N.C?
I saw this one back in the summer on his way to a car show. I took this pic at the show.

I'm near Greenville NC. I was goin' into Charlotte when I saw them...

Where are you there Manfred?

[Blade_1]

Somehow, I just found the thread I created lookin' for info...

http://moparforums.com/forums/f4/what-did-you-see-today-261/

Oops... wrong one...

I found a couple of Mopar forums where I posted it; it was 06/20/07. A guy in Mooresville replied in one, he saw 8 of 'em at gas station near there. Not all wings...

Now I'm really curious. Can't find the one where the guy said they had left Petty's home that mornin'. 

[Blade_1]

FOUND IT!

I think I saw this car


The info says most of the guys took country roads to the Petty museum in Randleman on that morning I saw 4 wings on I-85.

[Manfred318]

I remember that... I met the black and silver one going south on  U.S.220 I73/74 that afternoon. I guess it was after the goings on at the Petty Museum. If its the same one I used to see that Orange SuperBird cruising up and down Fayetteville St. here all the time.

Im in Asheboro. About 15 mins away from the N.C. Zoo

Here in dry desert Arizona, I see "lots of early Camaros, Chevelles and Firebirds on the road.... the average no imagination muscle cars. 

I see 10) '67-'69 Chevys on the road for every 1) 66-70 Charger.  It's a rarer sight to see a 66-70 Charger just out cruising.  I know guys have quite a few of them packed away in beautiful climate controled garages, though early Mopars in AZ are very special. 

Most the car guys I know think of the 69 Charger as the pinacle bad ass muscle car. 

I do see original dry southwest 66-72 GM muscle cars out on the road frequently.  Our cars don't rust here.  I wish Arizona car guys didn't think 60's Mopars were so awesome, and then there'd still be more unrestored originals out cruising the roads here.

On the hunt in KCMO. My brother can keep a constant eye on it without leaving his kitchen.
