I drove my first Superbird, daily, to highschool at age 16, back in the 70's when they were considered just another used car. And I parked it at the local Fair Auto Supply store in West Haven, CT, where I worked 5 days a week after school. I think that carbon dates me as a Mopar Neanderthal.

Same here... I drove my 1969 Hemi Road Runner & 1968 Hemi Charger R/T as daily drivers in the 1970s and early 80s.

BTW, I am not looking to argue about whether a converted duct is as good as an original Hemi part... it is not IMO. Fortunately, my RR has the original Hemi Air Grabber hood.

See attached pic of my Hemi RR back in the 1970s...

Neat old photos! The black 68 Charger even has the National Hemi Owners Association vanity plate. Awesome cars.

Where was that photo of your black car taken? That black Superbird next to your car looks familiar. I think I've seen it before.

Here's my old high school parking lot photo. Which one of these is not like the others?

Neat parking lot pic... my high school car was only a 440 Magnum powered Polara... Neat car tho!

The meet picture was taken in San Antonio, at North Side Stadium IIRC. The car belongs to a friend in Austin, and was briefly seen in a movie called "4th of July" (I believe that was the name).

I am having ISP connection problems, so please be patient if I am slow to reply...

Nothing like a Superbird parked next to the Family Truckster!!! Do I spy a '71 GTX in that line up as well?
