Well, Had Guard duty this weekend out at the base and I drove Dana, (my C500 ) on Sunday.........
I'm working on the flightline all day and I come back into the shop and someone yells, "Sgt, Hawkes !!! Some Sgt. such-n-such was wanting to talk to you about your C500"...
Oh yeah? I thought.. "OK" I said, "Did he leave a number?"....... They said, "Yes, SHE did"........ Ahhh Ohhhh, insert one's foot........ :o ;D
Anyways, I called her and told her who I was and what I had... She was all excited... Stated that she has one here....... "A '69 Charger 500, not a '70?" I asked.... "Nope", she says, "It's not a '70, it's the aerocar '69".. Well Hell, she even knows the lingo.... hahaha
Turns out, her husband has a F8 green 440 auto car... How cool.. needless to say, I gave her my number and asked her or her husband to call me at home.. Guess I'm going on a road trip with Dana this weekend to see, hopefully, another C500 in Houston... That makes 4.. two 440's, one auto and one manual (mine) and two 426 hemi's, 1 auto and 1 manual....

Good work there Troy. I'm always on the look out for more C500's in my area. So far there is just 3. Mine and one other gentleman here in Indy owns 2.
Try to get them posting on the site, always room for more C500 owners on here. And would love to add another C500 to the list I'm accumulating.

When he calls, I'll ask about it..

Sounds great, don't forget the camera. ;D
Thanks Troy, always on the look out for more information. The more we gather the more accurate the data will be.
Never know who you are talking to do you?
Not sure how to take that last line Al.
Granted some times I forget peoples names even when I'm talking to them on the phone. Does that happen to anyone else? I dial the phone number and when its ringing my mind goes blank on what their name is until I hear their voice answer on the other side.
I met the fellow C500 owner here in Indy through a friend. My buddy didn't know he had a C500 just knew that he liked them. So he put me in contact with him to talk about them. Come to find out he has 2 and a Daytona.

Nope, you don't.. Danny, think Al meant that you never know who you're talking to sometimes... The most unobvious people to have something turn out to have something.... I remember talking to the guy a few years ago at Autorama when I had Dana and he said he had a green '69 Charger 500... That was pretty much it.. He didn't get into detail and didn't talk much, went on his merry way... So, I'm thinking, he has a C500?..... ??? One side of my mind said, "Yeah, right".... and the other is, "You just never know"........

Thanks Troy for filling in what I was getting at.I tend to use the fewest words to make the point :-[.I know what I mean anyway :icon_smile_wink:
See that is the hard thing to figure out on a computer, no tones in the sentences makes things come accross as meaning something else when each person reads it. I'm guilty of that, typing something that makes sense in my head but when read by someone else comes out totally different.

Join the crowd.. That's why my friend Teddy NEVER uses the computer.. Only if I have a Superbee picture to show him.........
Ah see to get me interested all I need is a good story or photo of a winged car, and I'll be there for days. :)
