There once was a gorgeous, beautiful, sexy girl named Shay,                            

 Who I asked If I could please take her picture that Day,

She said  ”Oh really! Who are You?                                                                                  

I stammered and stuttered and turned dark Blue

She smiled and stood and said “Just show me where you would like me to Stay”

Obviouly I was quite taken by Shay. She was gorgeous, beautiful, sexy and NICE. She was at the show with her husband Michael Tucker. They had come in from Shelbyville, Tn. with their 1969 Dodge Dart. Michael said the car had  a MOPAR 360 c.i. Engine,  4sp. Transmission all backed by a bottle of NO2.

With the Hurst Equipped badging on the side of the car (Gallery picture 1) Michael may have taken some inspiration from the 1968-69 Hurst Equipped Darts. Dart body shells weret sent to Hurst. Hurst equipped the Darts with 600hp, 440c.i. engines, sans all creature comforts, fiber glass body parts and painted primer gray. These Hurst Equipped Darts were meant for drag strip use only.

The first generation of Chargers, the 1966-67 models, were not very good looking cars. The second gerneration, 1968-70 models, did a 180 from the first generation and is one of the best looking Muscle Cars of any brand of any era. The 1969 model was the car of choice for the TV show and later the movie The Dukes of Hazard. Who could forget the General Lee.

Naylene’s 1968 Charger is a 383ci and was restored by Naylene with a little help from dad, Dwight Orr.

Shay is posing with two young dudes who drove their Dodge Neons over 100 miles that morning  just to make sure their type of MOPARs were represented. The Neons were made an an extremely popular cars among the tuner group with the introduction of the SRT-4 model. The SRT -4 was powered by a 230 hp turbocharged 4 cylinder engine.

The production SRT-4 was introduced in 2003. At the time, the Neon SRT-4 was the second fastest stock production vehicle in the Dodge lineup, second only to the Viper. The Neon SRT-4 was built in Belvidere, Illinois with 84% US content.

In that same year Dodge engineers built a special SRT-4 using only factory performance upgrade parts from Mopar. The car weighed only 2,500 lb and was dyno’d at 360hp and 381lb·ft (at the wheels) by SportCompactCar magazine. On drag slicks, it ran an 11.83-second pass at 123mph.

The SRT-4 continued in production for the model years 2004 and 2005.

The next two paragraphs about Alex are Alex’s own words:

“This led to our forming EZ Detailing, Inc., our filming and selling a DVD on automotive detailing, and soon a line of car care products. We also began a racing team, Team EZ-Detailing, where I drive and Richard is Crew Chief in the Pacific Street Car Association (PSCA), NHRA Summit Series, and West Coast Hot Rods Association (WCHRA) at tracks in Bakersfield and Fontana, California and Las Vegas, Nevada.

Besides cars, bikes and ATVs, my other passions are singing, acting and modeling. I am currently working towards my B.A. as a theater major. I am very serious about singing—you can definitely say that a singing career is my dream. I have been singing since I was quite young, and taking lessons and performing for about 4 years now.

I continue to learn about automotive mechanics and race driving. I look forward to sharing exciting events from my life with you.”

1970 Dodge Challenger T/A 340 6 pack

Ali is posing with Tommy Austin’s very special 1970 Dodge Challenger T/A 340 6 pack. This is a very special and interesting car because 1970-was the only year that the Dodge Challenger T/A was made. Dodge made it in order to race in the Sports Car Club of America’s Trans American Sedan Championship Dodge built a street version of its race car which it called the Dodge Challenger T/A . Although the race cars ran a destroked version of the 340, street versions took the 340 and added a trio of two-barrel carburetors atop an Edelbrock aluminum intake manifold, creating the 340 Six Pack. Dodge rated the 340 Six Pack at 320 bhp. It breathed air through a suitcase sized air scoop molded into the pinned down, hinged matte-black fiberglass hood. Low-restriction dual exhausts ran to the stock muffler location, then reversed direction to exit in chrome tipped “megaphone” outlets in front of the rear wheels
