Last thing I remember....he was selling the Charger.

Nick bought himself a house and awhile after that he dumped the Charger. Whoever got it, got one heck of a screaming deal. I hadn't heard from him in months and resorted to having my GF find him on myspace of all places, only to learn the Charger was gone. He never was too big on returning phone calls so no big deal.

But come to think of it, I do have his work email so I'll send this to him so he knows people are wondering what he's up to.

That's a bummer, I've been waiting to see the Charger all fixed up, it was looking good last time I saw him post pics of it.

Not trying to hijack but whatever happened to Tim Moffett. That in car vid he had in his sig racing against a Duster was great.

Tim had his Charger up for sale not long ago. Not sure if it sold or not.

I believe Tim and Nick both went the way of selling their chargers to fund other endeavors.

I always liked looking at his website of the crazy things him and his buddies did with cars, mail jeeps, etc.

That is a bummer Nick sold the Charger. I don't think he could ever decide what he wanted to do with it.

Got an email from Rich today, I suppose it's time to check in.

Yes, the Charger is gone. Jeff is right, I could never make up my mind with what I wanted to do. If money wasn't a factor it would've been a low 9 second street car, with a g-force 5 speed, and a big inch Hemi on nitrous. But the further I got along in the "resto", I realized exactly what I could and couldn't afford. That vision then became a 11 second car, completely stock appearing save for some slicks and an 8pt rollbar. Unfortunately my credit card debt kept mounting, I'd hadn't driven the car since 2005, and everything I'd attempted to work on myself didn't turn out as planned...which was really, really frustrating. I hadn't even touched it, save for moving it from my old house to the place I just bought, since September of 07. I put it up for sale in the classifieds, and a dude from Iowa bought it with everything car-related I had.

Looking back, I should've left it a ratty street car. I had an incredible amount of fun daily driving a V-gate, 4.30 geared, open exhaust 509 camm'd '68 Charger that was primered, rusty and had no interior. After Bob did the bodywork I was terrified to touch it.

Oh well... live and learn. I don't even want to think about how much I had wrapped up in it.

Now I've got a cute little 1200 square foot bungalow in Redford, a couple cheap motorcycles ('74 CB550 for street duty, a lil indian minibike, and a full-tilt CR500 that scares me far more than any car I've ever driven), and I just picked up a '68 Caddy I found for dirt cheap on craigslist. The best part, living debt free save for a couple years left on the truck, and the house. I miss the car hobby immensely, and maybe someday I'll pick up another old Mopar... but for now I'll just be happy with the memories I have, and think of all of the cool people I've met along the way.

I had one of those too...

Nick!! You still have the pimp hat at least...?

Does a bear poop in the woods?

Switched up the bikes, now have an 07 450X for a dirtbike, and I bought a fresh out of the crate 2011 Harley Road King Classic. Caddy is long gone, too. It was too much of a pile, and I felt dirty driving it most of the time.

I still want another Mopar at some point besides my Ram. Every couple months I stop by and cruise the classifieds as well as Craigslist. I keep looking for Imperials and 300's but nothing has really caught my eye, and my garage isn't big enough for any car and the pile of bikes anyway.

Current money pit:



Got the girlfriend into riding as well, she has a '74 CB125 and an '05 150F dirtbike.

I miss anything in the last year?

Dean

Thanks guys! Jim, you'll have to call me when you get up here next year. I'll ride up there on the bike for sure.

BTW, these are pics of my Charger after the new owner finished it:





He used the motor I sold with it out of my Imperial, and now has a keisler 5 speed.

I'd be lying if I said I didn't want it back. I definitely regret it at this point.
