3 beautiful Mopars from the Mopar Alley at SEMA this year, a 1969 Coronet, a 1970 Challenger convertible, and a 1971 Barracuda Convertible, and all have a hemi







 The 71 Barracuda, possibly the finest choices of options available on a Mopar are on this "Make what you really want" example... the wing, the billboard engine callout, the gills, and the shaker hood scoop.

 awesome




 when building the car they wanted, they chose air conditioning (which I thin was never offered with a Hemi with the huge air filter housing, and the 1970 shifter...

 I guess they didn't want to call their Coronet a Super Bee, or preferred the new truck Rumble Bee stripe instead. Possible more the first idea, because they didn't add a Super Bee to the trunk lid, or the grill

Tim and Pam Wellborn's Musclecar Museum has a cool collection of Mopars and other interesting cars, they have the largest collection of 71 Chargers, and the nations largest collection of Dodge cars



They have the world’s largest collection of 1971 Chargers. They have patiently, and quietly put together the nation’s largest collection of Dodge cars. Their collection of musclecars not only includes Dodge cars but also a very impressive lot of Oldsmobile 442 W-30 Convertibles, Ford Boss 429 Mustangs, LS6 Chevelles, GSX Buicks, AMC Javelins, and a Pontiac Ram Air IV GTO Judge Convertible, one of six known to exist.

Mod Squad Challenger just auctioned, only 2 were made in 1972 that were convertible, both were for the tv show




see this gallery of the restoration of one at http://www.streetfire.net/photo/mod-squad-challenger-tv-car_1304342.htm or see a feature in Mopar Muscle Sept 1987
One just sold at Mecum at Monterey auction for 48500

The 1971 Dodge Challenger Convertible offered was one of the two or three cars used for on-screen work during the 1972 Mod Squad season. Since Chrysler discontinued Challenger Convertible production after 1971, this car was updated with 1972-specific front and rear components, creating an interesting hybrid. Highly optioned with an automatic transmission, bucket seats and a console, it was also used as a PR/show car in period. Today, it displays an exterior refinish dating back 10 years

Skip the first 30 seconds, nothing happens
Learned about this car in Auto Enthusiast magazine, Nov 2011 issue.
That is a great looking car, that gold and white is superb
