Default Re: Sam's (Mockingbird812) 71 440 Charger

Sam,
It's great to see that car again. I was so surprised when Ed Margosian sold it. That was truly a labor of love for him. Ed worked at the dealer I work at a while ago (Just down the street from Albany Dodge). He really is a great guy and really knows his stuff. In one word I would call him a pefectionist. After he sold your car, he bought a green (not Sublime, the other weird green) '71 440 Six Pack Charger that he was going to restore, but I believe he sold it and doesn't own a Mopar at the present time. I will probably run into him at some of the local shows this Summer...I will be sure to tell him about our "conversation".

I don't know Steve Cadalso, I figure he's about 4 years older than me. My wife knows of him...your car resided just one neighborhood over from where she grew up.

By the way, the salesman/neighbor you refer to was Al Weidman who worked at Albany Dodge for many years, followed by Armory Garage (Chrysler-Plymouth) where I work (oops, I'm a Chevy guy). He is retired, but still stops by once in a while. His son Bo was always into muscle Mopars and is well known by anyone around here.

As for that Sublime GTX....I don't know who owned it at the time, but around 1977-1979 it used to cruise all over here. Perfect car with Crager S/S wheels!

If I think of anything else, I will be sure to share it with you. Congratulations on obtaining a truly wonderful car!

-Nick
