That's all for tonight. I'll post more tomorrow morning.

That Challenger shell looks fantastic.....

Just think of how many rust buckets can now be re-bodied and have a second chance at life !

Here's the engine in Kenny's '64...

OK, I'm ready to post again. One cool thing to note is that several of the people who used to be with Chrysler and Mopar are now back!! This is good news in many ways.

I can also say that Chrysler has the best looking line up of vehicles in years! The new Rams look great and the Durango looks better than ever! The Journey is more of a people mover but it's very sharp and has one of the nicest interiors on the market.

Here's Kenny with his '64. By the way, he told the crowd yesterday that his dog is named Dodge. When the Mopar guys asked why he didn't name the dog Mopar Kenny said he is saving that name for his first child. Kenny definitely loves cars!

I know some of you don't care for the trunk on the '64 but I think it's cool. I'm sure it's a reference to Blue on Black but I think the pick logo looks cool and would make a nice air cleaner design for Kenny's cars. I'll have to suggest that to him

Here's a better shot of the Durango. I've been sitting right next to this thing as I've been typing and I think it looks great! Just wish I had the money to buy one

Here's the interior on the Durango Citadel Black & Tan. Sweet!

Here's a clear shot of the Redline Charger. It's hard to get good pics here with all of the people but I got here early today. Good thing because the cars are swamped with people again - which is a good thing. If anyone else is at the Mopar booth right now stop by and say hi. I'm sitting in one of the chairs next to the stage with the Rich Evans Design Challenger.

Ralph Gilles gave a presentation during the Press Conference yesterday. While he was speaking he said that he's had a lot of feedback from enthusiasts to bring back the 'Cuda. He then looked at a couple of people off stage then said, "I think we can make that happen."

One thing was clear yesterday, there is still a lot of passion at Chrysler and Mopar so if the bean counters, EPA, etc don't get in the way we should see some more really cool cars from Ma Mopar in the coming years!

I don't know how many of you are aware of Mopar's Top Eliminator Program but that's where the Mopar folks pick a car at each of the major Mopar shows (Carlisle, Nats, Vegas, etc) and invite them to display their car in Mopar Alley at SEMA.

The blue '70 Super Bee in this thread belongs to Scott Buck. His car was selected at Carlisle from the regular Showfield. Scott is an Average Joe like the rest of us with a basic 383 Super Bee. Now he's here at SEMA with his son having a great time and Mopar is paying his way.

This is a really cool program from Mopar and it gives the enthusiasts a great opportunity. Congrats to Scott and the rest of the car owners in Mopar Alley

from SEMA

Here's the dash on the Redline Charger. I really do like this car. My Intrepid will likely get replaced by a Charger soon. I need seating for 4 and having the performance of a 5.7 or a 6.1 is an added bonus in my book. I'd love to have a Challenger but it's just not practical for me right now.

An 8 ball shifter and no 3rd pedal...sigh. If they made a Charger with a 6-speed I'd have to re-evaluate my desire for a Challenger...
Looks great otherwise

sorry

see if this link is better

Since I haven't received any requests to see anything in particular, I'll guess I'll just keep posting.

I take requests so please let me know if there's something that you want to see from the Mopar booth. I can't stay too much longer.
