All the talk of hemi-powered RRs in that other thread reminded me that I had recently seen a pic of one of the few surviving hemi droptops over on the LOH Playground. Thought I'd post it here. A little eye candy for Dave, John, and our other F8-loving members.

Hey Dave, picture this car with Cragars instead of the recall wheels... I have a picture in my head of him falling out of his chair, eyes rolled back in his head, and some slight frothing at the mouth... :lmao:

:jester:

Yeah - kind of like that AT&T commercial where the little creature passes out when he sees the new telephones... :lmao: :lmao:
That is a nice HEMI bird. The green exterior and tan gut go well together :yesnod:

I may not be apart of the green team but I sure still love F8

Now THAT I saw coming a mile away...

I dunno...that combo often results in the rear armrests being installed incorrectly...

I would keep the wheels and change the interior. Never did think that green and brown belonged together. Nice car though. :cheers:

just climbed back to the comp..........is that the one that came out of junkyard that had the side caved in? that's a sweet color combo.

I know I'm probably in the minority here but I have to admit ragtop muscle cars do absolutely nothing for me.Just don't look right,give me a Hardtop any time.

Don't know the history, Dave. It belongs to a friend of one of the guys on the LOH Playground - that's about all I know. They did mention that the B5 Hemi GTX ragtop with the white gut came out of a junk yard...just tells you how few of these there are when you can call them out by color combo and everyone knows which one you're talking about... :yesnod:

Color combos are like anything else; everyone has their preferences. You & John love it, Harold has said that he doesn't like it, and me the self-proclaimed Anit-F8 guy finds it to be the only combo that makes that color pop enough to be palatable. Go figure...

I noticed that you didn't mention post cars...? :toetap:

Nothing wrong with post cars in my eyes Ray :drive:

for me it depends on the car. I don't like the look of a vert with the top up. But when the top is down, they look great.
A few years ago,there was a story in the mags about the designer of the '68 Charger. He had started building a convertible. Now the '68-'70 Chargers have the sweetest roofline ever made. To make a droptop of that car would've been a crime.

There's a guy that does those conversions...Stuie has posted some pics & info IIRC...I thought that they looked pretty sporty...but I'm a huge fan of the original fastback styling as well... Kinda like girls...some days you want to look at the blondes...some days you want to look at the brunettes...

Yes it is, it was featured in Mopar Action IIRC.
