I am retired and have always had an interest in muscle cars since I I've been aware. I am interested in owning only Mopars but appreciate all USA made muscle cars, customs and hot rods. I have a 1965 4-door Dart with some mods but it is my beater. I also have a 1970 Chrysler 300 convertible with the 440 HP motor. It is an original CA car with 55K miles. I am in the process of restoring the dashboard/instruments etc. which started out as a dash pad recover and a dimmer switch repair but has turned into taking the whole dash out and restoring all the lettering blah blah blah. We all know how it goes. I also have a 1968 Dart GT Convertible waiting to be done. In the past I restored a 1970 Challenger T/A that got 4th place at the Nationals in Columbus Ohio. I sold it because I was starting to drive the hell out of it and a dude from my club gave me $50K for it that I bought dirt with for a new house I built (myself-I can't stand the quality of workmanshit I was going to have to hire) about 4 years ago. I have done a fair amount of wood and metal machine restoration-all old USA made stuff. My main deal these days is beekeeping which I do to harvest honey to sell for a cancer foundation called chordoma.org that took a friend of mine at age 45. It is way more work and $ than I had thought it would be but it is extremely interesting and rewarding. I have a non-profit in NC "Howard's Helping Hands" I hope to visit often-this looks like a real good place to spend time. Howard Hampstead, NC
Welcome from just up the road in Fayetteville. I've got some Studebaker friends in Hampstead. Glad to have you with us. Hope to see ya' sometime. Do you ever attend the Back to the Beach Car Show down in Carolina Beach. A bunch of us Studebaker folks usually attend that show together. I think its April 1 and 2. Maybe we'll see you there.
