Hey John,
I tried looking online and could not find the size of the island, but I will guess and say about 25 miles wide X 40 miles long. It is called Revillagigedo, one of the early explorers named it after some dude he knew back home.

Population in the city of Ketchikan right now is about 8200, with another 6000 or 7000 outside the city limits.

T/Ake care,

Barry, that's too cool! Man, that's a lot of miles to drive on a relatively small island. Are there any other cool cars on the islannd? Does everyone know your T/A? I'd have to believe it's a pretty unusual sight!

I think there were that many people in the Wal Mart parking lot today here

FYI, my little city of Garden Grove (about 17 square miles) has about 170,000 people in it ....and about 6 million in Orange County

Gary,
We are all thankful that the three of you escaped that fire as well. I heard about it on the news while driving to work, and only a week or so after you sent me some much needed sunroof information. Moparts is definately a family of sorts, people helping people with a few old cars thrown into the mix. The cars bring us together, but the friendships hold us together.

I better fix a quote too, I mentioned early in this thread the we could split Alaska into thirds and make Texas the 4th largest state. My sincere apologies to all Texans. The best we could do would be to split Alaska in half and make Texas the 3rd largest state. Sorry about the mistake.

Barry

We had a V code Sport Fury GT, but it left here and is now owned by a fellow Moparts member.

Actually, that should make this thread too, the whole thing was a C-body load of fun!

T/Ake care,
Barry

Wow, there's THAT many cool Mopars on the island??? Now that's awesome!!!

Those are just the ones I could remember in a pinch.

Barry

Here is a picture of the V code 1970 Sport Fury GT "as found" maybe Dan will pipe in on this one.

I also had a great time at the Gratiot Cruise. Bubba and his brother's family were very generous in having a bunch of Moparts members and friends over and supplying food and drinks for everyone. Ahhh the ice luge
We also seen Steffs band that night, in a basement of a building on Gratiot that could be best described as a meeting place for illegal activities "very dark"
A great time had by all, except maybe Murfman. I wonder if his hearing ever came back.

Actually I lived in Ft. Greeley Alaska which is about an hour or so outside of Fairbanks.

That particular Army base no longer exist. Nobody is there now..

I honestly can say that Alaska was the neatest place I ever lived. To say that it was a "cool" place to live is an under statement.

One Bad; Lest we forget the " Dueling Doughnuts " race that with a little help will have a rematch.

This has been a great first year for me, getting to know all the Moparts people, God Bless, and I looking forward to many more!!!

Did someone mention "Dueling Doughnuts" ??? Here you go...I clicked these @ Norwalk...

Being the most Easterly member of Moparts in North America, I can honestly say that this year was awesome.
I think . we have learned a great deal about each other and maybe about ourselves.
The knowledge here is unbelievable and the guys and gals are ready to share it.
Thanks to the owner and the mods for putting up with us when some threads get heated.
There is one story that was not mentioned ...........
where one of our "crown prince's" (onebadsuperbird) here on Moparts led us all on about some "cock and bull" story of a Hemi Daytona that he remembered way back when and then discovered it 10 min from his house. ...........
YOU BAD JOHN >>>>YOU BAD !!!!!!!!!!

You got that Hemi daytona restored yet?????????

So from here in Newfie , ye'all have a safe and successful New Year and my God Bless ALL.

Garry Knight...........aka mopar_man

BTW....Re Alaska....Ye lucky bast$%ds. Teddy Rosevelt bought Alaska from the czar of Russia for $9,000,000.00. Thats about .07 cents an acre. Canada couldn't afford it and said it was only a waste land anyway. ...i think their opinion was slightly off.
Make you wonder how it would have turned out if Kruschiev had to own Alaska during the Cuba missile crisis.

you know the saying if the cap fits?..........................

Amazing list one bad... How about the Silver Bullet feud?. That was good reading.

SSAA, thanks! Wow, the Silver Bullet deal was a good one! I wonder what ever became of Manny. He no-showed at the match race and his car was in the McDonald's at Coolidge and Woodward for a while and he flat-out disappeared. I have to give Harold credit for stepping up and making the challenger for a match race. I read a little spread in Musclecar Enthusiast where the magazine made it sound like Manny's car was the original car.
