Adam's at Chrysler Nationals - 2011 Photos

[Guest Sarah@Adams]

What a great show! We has some serious rain and we were ankle deep in water running through the Adam's boot on Friday but it cleared up and Saturday and Sunday were beautiful!

 

A special thank you to Herb "The Grailkeeper" Helbig formerly Chief Engineer for Viper and Vehicle Synthesis Manager for SRT, Dick Winkles, Viper Powertrain Development Engineer and the Viper Club of America for a great dinner and a lesson on Viper history!

 

If you are a Chrysler fan, or even if you aren't here are some photos that just might make you ...

Only 1 Barracuda picture? It might even be just a valiant.. either way sweet cars and it looks like the charger's came out in style

[Chris@Adams]

Nice Mopars!

Nice cars and great pics. Thanks Lynn!

Pics of Dusters! Wow, those bring back memories... I learned to drive on a 76 duster with slant six. That unstoppable motor is still probably humming away somewhere (though likely surrounded by the pile of rust that was once the car's body...)

 

Thanks for posting those!

SURE! Mine is PINK! We can work on that in Indiana...

Really nice pics Lynn. Doesn't look like too many showed up though, and that's a shame. There are some really nice Mopars in PA.

I had a similar slant six in my 69 Dart. Used more oil than gas, but I got around that by using old oil from my uncle's service station. He brought over a 55 gallon drum every couple months!

Sounds about right! My dad made me check the oil in that thing all the time. I still remember the night we were driving it when it turned over 100,000 miles -- back then hitting that milestone was a pretty big deal for a car.

I forget what the mileage was on the Dart. One ugly cold morning (-40 F) I started it up and the speedometer needle shattered! Some of it must have gotten stuck in the odometer, because it never worked again either! LOL

 

I tell you what though, one of the best cars I ever owned for driving in the snow. I tried to get it stuck. Only succeeded once and then only for about 5 minutes.

That's right -- I'd forgotten how good the duster was in the snow. It was bought to be a winter beater, and we'd throw big old knobby snow tires on the back. (remember those?!?). The defogger barely worked and you could hardly see where you were going, but the car plowed right on down the road!

Great pics Lynn. Friday was a wash, but there were a ton of cars Saturday. I took a couple pics, will have to load them and post.
