I saw my old orange 1971 hemicharger sunroof car I sold back in 1994. Still looks good. It was kinda funny, the current owner Tim W was giving me grief that even after all these years everyone who walked by would stop and say: "Hey isn't that Steve's old car?"

WOW Steve, I gotta say that car has been one of my all time favorite Mopars ever since the first time I saw it back in the 90's when you were still the owner.

If memory serves me correctly, we had a brief discussion at Mopar Nats back when you still owned the 71 Cuda, shortly before it found its new "home" in Oxnard.

I enjoy reading about the history you are able to dig up...keep it coming!

I am looking for a pair of 15x8 or 15x9 Cragar SS rims. I am thinking about going back to the originals that were on my Charger when the original owner had it back in 70. I had the sense to keep the 15x4-1/2 fronts but cant seem to remember who I lent the rears to 20 years ago! These are the 4-1/2 bolt pattern (not unilug) versions. Anyone have a pair? I will end up sending them out to be restored with my fronts. Here is a shot of them way back when...

Good call Steve. Concur they look terrific!

-------Have you got the "Parnellis" to go with the Cragars???......Bill S

Unfortunately, I passed on a set of recapped Parnellis earlier this year that were in the attic of that old speed shop. They might have worked for a static display but they were harder than concrete and unsafe to drive on. And I cant seem to find a set of F78 15 black walls other than the vintage pair I have on the front rims at the moment. And there about 35 years old...and bald.

I might go with a set of bias ply N50x15 Pro Tracs/ 215/75x15 front runner front tires

Now that I think about it,I should have kept the tow tabs on the front bumper. I remember torching them off back in 1987 and grinding the brackets back down to get rid of the evidence.

Steve I have a set of f78 blackwalls that are perfect!

[njsteve]

Don, pm me your phone number and what you want for them. How old are they?

[njsteve]

I checked the Charger websites, I think a 15x10 will also fit. (This car has some huge wheel wells!)
