Well.... I guess the time comes for all good things to end. After owning 68-69 Chargers pretty much since 1978 I will no longer be "in the club". My 500 is heading East to Florida shortly. It has been literally a gut wrenching experience to sell the car. I have not cried so much in years, but time and priorities have finally caught up with me I guess. Being concerned with income and funds for post work life and affording things like health insurance between retirement and medicare and the fact that basically I hate to work conspired to convince me that the time was getting right to move on to the next chapter.
As a re-cap I've had an amazing run for somebody who has never made a lot of money. I had my 1st Hemi Charger ( 68 R/T, Burgundy 4 speed in 1978 and never really stopped. I had a 440 4 speed Daytona for 12 wonderful years, 2 additional 68 Hemi Charger R/t's (1 auto, 1 4 speed) a 67 Hemi Charger, 69 Hemi Road Runner (A4 silver 4 speed) a 440 auto Charger 500, 4 440-6 pack cars ( 1 69 RR, 2 70 Super Bee's, 1 Cuda) 2 Challenger T/A's and a few 440 Charger R/T's.
For the foreseeable future I am going to try and hold onto my last old Mopar, a 1970 Coronte R/T 440 4 speed car so I can drive that to work for the short time I will remain working, and then see where life takes me and my wife.
It has been a wonderful ride and I hope all of you guys continue to prosper and enjoy the cars for as long as you can. I will NEVER stop loving these cars to the bottom of my heart. I will not be on this site anymore since I feel that this is a spot for the owners and not really for groupies of which I guess I am now.
Carry on gentlemen and keep those Chargers and Superbirds rolling.
Best of luck in the future.
Chris

Stick around! Show us some pictures of the car also! :2thumbs:
Well done Chris!
You have done the right thing I'm sure.
You have inspired me to sell/swap my F8 440 4-speed C500 too. :2thumbs:
Don't have the money or premises to restore a B-body, so its time for her to go too... :iagree:
No harm in letting other Folks having their piece of Mopar history as well.
