Mopars at Old Town April 7, 2012

[mcmopar]

Sorry it took so long to post this - been kinda busy!
I thought you'd like to see some pics of the cars that showed up. You'll notice one or two that aren't Mopars. They let them in because they helped sponsor the show!
Anyway, you'll notice the green bird in a few shots and a Plum Crazy '72 Dart Swinger that is my buddy Don's car. Enjoy!

BTW - it was people's choice awards and I got one of the 20 trophies that got handed out. Not bad for an old beater! :jester:

Yeah, it was very crowded. They didn't anticipate so many cars showing up. I put the car on the portable dyno but a lean misfire occured at 4800 rpm so I didn't get to see how much power it was really putting out. It peaked at 248 hp at the rear wheels even with a sorry state of tune. The torque was 311 lb-ft at about 3000 rpm. The dyno guy said that with a proper tune it should see over 300 hp at the rare wheels easily.

The new job is going well enough. Super busy. Finally getting some breathing room so I can do my music conversion stuff again. There may be a better offer coming down the pike - just waiting to hear if it is a go. If so, I'll be jumping to the new offer more than likely. We'll see.

Looks like a great cruise in! Is Mid Florida cruiser the former Mighty Mopars of Orlando?Just asking cause I'm the one who started that club back in 1990.
