Spring Fling 2012 photos that show what it looks like in general

 Spring Fling, annual Mopar car show in Van Nuys, usually March or April

The new Challengers have a big car club that shows up every year and did a great color swatch job this year



 It's about the only place to see old vans
 Unusual forgotten Mopars like this Mirada
 or find 1950's and 60's cars with transplanted hemis like this Belvedere

 You won't see old Dodge trucks in many places outside a Moapr car show
 Bring cold drinks, because it's usually in the 80's and humid. There are plenty of vendors charging the usual 3 to 4 dollars a coke, 2 or 3 dollars a bottle of water.

Vanishing Point was remade, Viggo starred in it, and it's as good as the original, available through Netflix



 Of course, they didn't have two cars with the same working lights... sheesh.

Mopar Muscle cars from all over the pits at Mopars at the Strip 2012, perhaps the best place I've been to get your fill of Mopars of street and strip, stock and Super Stock

























 Even new Charger Super Bees

 Plexi glass over the grill area
 What the hell? When did a Barracuda get a half vinyl top? The Gran Sport model? I don't know, it looks terrible





 I love the Mooneyes on the headlight covers. Awesome

 Worst of the Road Runners, a 76 or 77 I think, and this one has had a hard life in the sun







 I don';t remember ever showing how some of the last hood ornaments had the engine displacement facing the driver

















 Supercharged slant six. Hmmm must be a power to weight or class break thing
