2 for 1 million...:grin:

I had joined the Supercar site in hopes of a Copo or Yenko. Seemed near impossible and I had always loved the 68 Charger. So when this opportunity came up for a hemi i made the drive. The people were incredible and they were a labor of love for their dad. I was socked to see both were of concours quality. Speechless still to own them both.

[sappy787]

I will need a trailer now as I wont drive them for ahile if ever.

[tom406]

Beautiful cars, thanks for sharing.

Wow there's two also cool differences as you look closer, big congrats!
How far apart are the Vins/build dates also are you planning to keep both cars?
Anyone else have a sudden hankering for some Doublemint gum?:hmmm:
:beers:

Gotta drive them some every once in a while. Keeps things lubricated and working. Sitting just lets them decay.

[sappy787]

I agree. I figure I will make a lap around our neighborhood once a month or so.

[Too Many Projects]

Get it out on the road for 30 miles and get all the accumulated condensation dissipated out of the drive line and exhaust. A short trip without full warm up only makes that worse.

[sappy787]

Thanks for that info. I didn’t know that and appreciate the heads up. So much cash I guess I feel a little worried of hurting a motor but what you mentioned makes a lot of sense. Thanks

I have never hurt a motor in 40 years of WOT gear changes. Broke a few transmissions though.

[sixt9rsx33]

Congrats! That is some score for sure.
I can't agree enough with Mitch. They like to be driven some. Make sure you get all the fluids up to temp and work the brakes well, emergency brakes, heater, fan, etc. Will save you a lot of headaches in the future.

Could maybe run 'em down to the end of the driveway in the morning ...?

You don't have to drive 'em like you stole 'em, but as Mitch says, at least a few times a year you want to get them out and run them at highway speed (or slightly above :naughty: ) for a while. Should be able to find some nice open roads there in Iowa! Pretty soon, you won't need much of an excuse to do that.

[gtomike1967]

Wow, congrats! Any info on how the previous owner acquired 2 almost identical and rare cars?

[sappy787]

I got the 2 Hemi's home today and man the sun made them pop. I questioned myself the last few days until they rolled off the trailer. I knew I did the right thing after parking them ... Feeling blessed for sure...

[sappy787]

ok . The Hemi's are home now and here is my at home pics. wow. Way better looking with some sun//

[sappy787]

second batch !! I waxed the undersides today and just like new. So friggin perfect I cant believe my find... W D Goad restored these to showroom quality and amazing attention to detail..

Not braggin, I am just so darn proud..

[ls6owner]

Beautiful cars!

[Xplantdad]

Wow, beautiful!!!

[olredalert]

----Love both cars but really like that maroon interior!....Bill S

[sappy787]

if I'm not mistaken its the maroon interior with the burgundy paint makes its the 1 of 1 for the hemi 68. I need to decode the tag as power windows as well and other options suck as the 15" hubcaps I guess is rare for the Hemi

[markinnaples]

What an epic pair, congratulations.

[sappy787]

I’m in Venice Mark. I assume you are just south in Naples,FL?

[markinnaples]

Hello Sappy, Yes, I live in Naples. Been here 24 years now. Right now, however, I am in KY where we go for a month in the summer. Beautiful Chargers you have there, congratulations.

I've been wondering what part of Iowa you live in that has palm trees...:hmmm:

[sappy787]

i lived in Iowa 50 years and retired to Venice, Florida. Good catch.. i guess I need to update my info..

I'd like to have a winter home down there. The summers are too brutal to live year around for us northerners, about like what we are getting today...:rolleyes2: Upper 90's and high humidity.

We were in Sarasota for 10 days in Feb and will be on Pine Island for 3 weeks next winter. We were at the Venice Orchid show in Feb.

[frankk]

Beautiful cars....but it begs the question can you smoke the tires from here to kingdom come haha

"Is this heaven??"...No, this is Iowa :beers::drool::flag:

[sappy787]

I sure would love to give it a shot but it wont happen. Driving my Hemi squad car charger was and will be my end of need for speed.. But i do ponder on that thou...
