Its Gary Raymond in the pass seat with Brian. They had been running together since the 80s.
Brian was a legend in the Seattle Mopar Community. He founded the 1st Mopar Club in the Seattle area. That 64 Polara 500 convertible had over 200k miles on it going to car shows all over the West Coast. He always drove it down to the Flings. My favorite Brian story:
One time we were driving back from the Boise Mopar show. We swapped cars, he drove my V code 70 Charger I was in his 06 Magnum R/T, which was his pride and joy. We were on a two lane and he gets on the two way radio and says “pass me”. So I nail it, it downshifts twice, and I pass him at full throttle. I asked him when we stopped why did he want me to pass him? His reply “I wanted to hear my new exhaust at full throttle”
I was able to see/talk with him a couple times in the past year or two, he had Alzheimer's and was better to talk to him in the morning. RIP Brian Boyett.
I remember with the Magnum RT down in Vegas, talking about how the MDS caused a "drone" . . . years later, I had got my 06 Magnum RT AWD and we were up at the Williams Lake Car show (I believe), we switched Magnums and Brian said he could feel the "front wheels driving" and the brakes were about the same . . .
Thanks for putting Gary's last name in ! In the pic Gary is driving on the PCH Cruise before Van Nuys show, and Brian is in passenger seat.
I heard that Frank Costa has been battling cancer and now Covid19, and may not make it . . . sad.
Best wishes to all
