Greetings all you lovers of motorsports, I bring you coverage of the, “26th Annual Midwest Mopars in the Park National Car Show & Swap Meet” from Farmington Minnesota. This is the largest car show dedicated to MOPARs in the Midwest, with nearly 2,000 Chrysler/Plymouth/Dodge/AMC cars on display!
Such MOPAR racing notables as, “Akron” Arlen Vanke, “Miss Mighty Mopar” Judy Lilly, and the, “Hawaiian” Roland Leong were on hand with replica’s of their legendary race cars for handshakes and autographs. An actual Sox & Martin Championship winning 1968 Hemi Super Stock Barracuda was present as well.
It was a bit of a soggy weekend two weekends ago, but well worth the drive in a black 2009 Dodge Challenger SRT/8. Enjoy the pics of what many believe to be the pinnacle of American Muscle Cars in all their glory.
Full Throttle,
GTDon

The infamous 1966 Chrylser Imperial, “Black Beauty” from the popular hit 1960’s TV series, “The Green Hornet” in which Bruce Lee was the chauffer. This is only 1 of 2 known to exist and appears to have more than just a Hemi.

Just wanted to mention that there is a Mopar event in Branson, MO called “Mopars in May”. It’s still relatively small but if any of you MN natives ever want to take a road trip this event might be right up your alley.
