So after thinking I lost these pics I was able to recover them from a temp file and get them posted. What we have here is a beautiful example of a 1970 (?) Dodge Challenger R/T. As a Mopar maniac, owning a Magnum R/T myself, I was excited to find this sublime Challenger just hanging out in Monterey during the Farmer’s Market. I was able to get some good shots with my HTC Touch, even got the pistol grip shifter.

I love these cars and love the new iteration of these as well. Click on the picture to go to the gallery and as I say its Mopar or no car! Enjoy!

So as to emulate one of my favorite car junkie websites, Jalopnik.com, I have decided to begin posting pics of classic cars, hotrods and other oddities that I run across on my travels in one section in the gallery called Down on the street. This section is starting off with a classic Oldsmobile that is obviously a restored model but looks totally factory. Its an amazing car. Just click on the pic to get to the gallery. Enjoy!
