Me and the '70 back in the day. (1980-1990)

Here's some pics of me and my '70 starting around 1980. Pic 1: I bought it for about $400 and dragged it home before dad finished building our shop. Notice my '74 AMC Hornet driver? It had a 304 w/a Hurst 3spd., it was a fun car. I didn't take too many pictures of the "restoration" process on the '70 so there's a good four- or five-year span where I didn't take any pictures of it. In fact I probably only took maybe 15 pictures of it over the 11 year time span I owned it. Pics 2 and 3: I drove the '70 in the local parade.

More. The first two pics are from 1985 or '86. The first one was taken in SE Portland at my brother's house and the second one was in Eastern Oregon where I grew up. Like the dent? I know I did. :rotz: The last two were taken in the late '80s, probably '89 when I took a girl to her HS prom. Like the color-coordinated tux? Stylin' I hate tuxes. Notice the red grill accents in the 2nd and 3rd pic? I saw those on another Charger a few years prior and I liked it. I also managed to snag some wheel opening mouldings along the way for my poor old base Charger. BTW it was a 383/2bbl/727.

That's cool. I had a red and white 70 SE too during that time frame.

I think I sold it in '92 for around $1,700. I didn't keep track of all this but that's close to what it went for. And yes, I wish I still had it. :icon_smile_blackeye:

Cool car Bull. :yesnod: Can I use a couple of those prom pics for the gallery?  ;D

Cool pics Bull, except for the dented fender. :D 

At least the photos you have are of a running car. I can't believe, that of all the dopey things I took photos of, all I have of my first Charger in the early eighties, is of the roof line behind another car I was trying to sell. I bought mine in 1981 for $1600 & sold it 3 years later for $600 as a barely running parts car with a 100% mint, SE tan leather interior which I wish I still had.  ::)

I'll post them later, Bob

I think the 70 owners are a little off balance & kind of drift to one side. :D

Boy, you must be hurtin' for pics if you're putting my mug up on the picture page. :-X Oh, I get it, odds and ends. That must be the odd. I wish I would have kept the VIN for that '70. I doubt I'll ever see it again. :-\

Great old photos. Lookin' pretty Rico Suave  O0

Great looking pics, Bull! Yep, even the dorky ones. ;D

The Aquamax...yes, this bike spent 2 nights underwater one weekend. (Not my doing), but it gained the name, and has since become pseudo-famous. :)
