1966 Hemi Satellite Convertible
A factory Hemi four-speed convertible, this Satellite is one of only twenty-one built and has an impressive pedigree of owners.  For years the Plymouth resided in baseball hall-of-famer Reggie Jackson’s collection, then it was sold to actor Charlie Sheen.  Sheen recently sold the Satellite to Picture Car Warehouse.  Owned by Ted Moser.
 
1970 Hemi Challenger
This sinister two-tone black Challenger, named “INSIDIOUS,” boasts a stout Mopar Performance Hemi, a Tremec five-speed transmission, and a state-of-the-art Pro Touring independent suspension system capable of making a Viper envious.  Designed, built, and owned by Perfection

A true one-of-one Daytona, this one left the factory with the rare F6 Green paint with a white interior.  The odd color combination only accents the equally rare combination of an automatic transmission and a factory 4.10 Dana rear.  Extremely low original mileage puts the icing
on the cake of this remarkable winged Mopar.  Owned by Ken Funk.

throughout.  Built in Illinois by Tommy Carroll and Hot Rod Chassis & Cycle.  Owned by Tommy Carroll.

     
 
1961 Chrysler Kustom
Built by “Baron Von” Bill Bierman, this radical hybrid beast combines elements of a 1964 Chevy pickup with the best of a 1961 Chrysler to

1970 Hemi GT-1/Pro Stock
Sox & Martin ‘Cuda

Hollywood Picture Car Warehouse for blues/rock guitarist Kenny Wayne Shepherd.  Owned by Kenny Wayne Shepherd.
     
1967 Coronet R/T Hardtop
Powered by the 375 horsepower 440 and backed with a TorqueFlite automatic, this first-year Coronet R/T provides for effortless high
speed cruising. The rare yellow and white color combination makes this one a standout.  The Coronet has spent its entire life in nearby
Phoenix.  Restored and owned by Rob Lelakowski.
 
1970 Charger R/T
This wild Panther Pink Charger R/T is one-of-twenty-eight such cars built in 1970 and is powered by a 440 hooked to a TorqueFlite
transmission.  The combination of options with the white interior, white stripe, and white top make it perhaps a one-of-one car.  Exported
new to Canada, the Charger is believed to be one of only two pink Charger R/Ts sent to Canada.  Both examples still exist and they sit in the same garage today, both owned by Scott Spirakes.
     
1970 Challenger R/T
Venezuela Export

This factory Hemi R/T Challenger was exported to Venezuela for Chrysler executive Jose Escalante.  The Challenger was street raced in South America and earned the nickname “El Hemi.”  The creative restoration allows the car to look OEM correct or retain its early 1970's hot rod persona, depending on the occasion.  Restored by Restorations by Rick in Wisconsin.  Owned by Juan Escalante.
 
 
1972 Plymouth GTX-R Custom
Designed by Steve Strope, the 1972 GTX-R was intended to be a progression of what Chrysler could’ve done if they had campaigned a B-body in the Trans Am racing series.  Powered by a fuel injected wedge with plenty of modern technology upgrades, the Plymouth is a perfect blend of nostalgia and reliable performance.  Built by Strope’s Pure Vision team.  Owned by Corey Larson.
     
 
 
1968 Hemi Super Stock Barracuda Tribute
High-tech meets retro with the creation of this extreme fuel injected 850 horsepower Hemi ‘68 Barracuda custom.  Owned and built by Lance Smith.
