Nice, my wife would love to have that Durango. She has a 2014 V-6 that she loves but she's a sucker for power also!

Wow on that '60 Chrysler 300F and the '68 Formula S!
Wow on the black Town & Country station wagon too!

They had so much raw power. It had H/C/I long tubes, stall shift kit, I forget the suspension set up. flowmasters, and 4.11 gears. It also had viper GTS seats in it!

And I just brought this home on Saturday. It's not mine though, going to a friend in Australia. 1961 Plymouth Belvedere.
That's something you don't see everyday!
It's not just your state, you just live at the wrong end of it lol.
. My '69 Charger visiting a friend with a '69 Road Runner. Around 1981. Back in 1979 I had a gold and black '68 Charger with a 318 automatic, so no race car by any stretch. I was dating my wife at the time and the guy with the '69 Road Runner and his wife was at a State Park I took my then girl friend to. We left at the same time and when we got on a back road we started to race, (something we always did). I was in front and thought I was giving him a hard time, got up to about 110 mph and he was in the left lane easing up on me and as they came up beside me his wife leaned out the passenger window and started waving when he kicked his 4 bbl in and black smoke poured out and he left me sitting. I let off as I watched him go out of sight and couldn't even look at my girlfriend from embarrassment, luckily she never said anything!

Those are some nice mopars! I love the Road Runner and the Charger has really grown on me. That was back when those cars were reasonable and still ran. By the late 80s most of them were wrecked or sitting in a field.
That and the "I'm gonna fix it some day" owners! Then they got to where you had to do without a house to be able to afford one. I don't want to pay what people think they are worth today because I would still be driving them the way I use to, "If it won't take it, I'll break it". They're to expensive for that now and I don't need something just to open my garage door just to hear my friends go ooooh and awwww! LOL

I had the chance to grab a 69 GTO a few years back. It was a rust free car all original. It got sold before I could get the money together. I still kick myself for selling my 67 Camaro. Its hard to find mopars around here. There was a 71 road runner that I pursued for a while, and then I moved. Someone snatched it up. I figure at some point I will inherit my dads 69 Camaro. Its sitting waiting for a resto completion. Im with you tho, I would be driving them. Its crossed my mind as to what I would do with that car tho. Do the LS route? I like carbs and BB. I would want power steering and disc brakes, just because of modern idiots that cant drive. He has a 454 for it and a M22 Rock crusher. He also has a 12 bolt. It was originally dusk blue. I really like the color, but he said he wants me to finish it and paint it Cortez silver.
When you said they were still reasonable got me to remembering what they usually cost. That Charger cost me less than $500. I bought my first '70 GTX I had before this one right before I got married for $500. Nothing worked on it electrically, hot wired it to get it home, spent less than $10 to replace the ignition switch and went on our honeymoon in it, totaled it 3 weeks later, racing like a fool! After the "We're running out of fuel" years in the mid 70's people practically gave them away to get them out of their yard! LOVED growing up in that era! Wouldn't trade those times for nothing in today's world!

My dad talks about it too. He wishes he had snatched up a bunch of those cars back then. He would be rich lol. I remember back when you could get a restored anything muscle car for 10-15k. I paid 10.5k for my 90 Mustang GT with 56k miles on it in 01.It was a one owner older lady. Now those cars are 15-30k and anything less then that is total junk.
. Nothing like buying a new vehicle and 1 month later taking it to the drag strip. I call it "Seeing if it has a weak link". I doubt the insurance and bank felt the same way! LOL

Hey, is that forest Gump in front of the charger? lol
He always reminded me of Tommy Chong, actions and talking! LOL Forest Gump didn't exist back then. lol
If you ever seen a picture maybe at your grandparents of Jesus Christ hanging on a wall, we had a guy that lived in our town that owned a '69 Road Runner and he was the spitting image of Jesus. He had the car to beat, I always joked "You can't beat Jesus". I never seen it happen! LOL
