    VIDEO: Very Sweet Challenger Convertible at Mopar Nationals

    I saw a very nicely done custom convertible at the 2009 Mopar Nationals in Ohio. Check out the youtube video:

    I love the color/wheel combo.

    Not sure If i'll enjoy it this year. Larry has a bunch of cars to get ready for SEMA. He thinks I'll get it back in early to mid november. Too late to put the top down but not to late to drive it a bit before the snow sets in.

    Yeah, sounds like SEMA is going to be a huge deal for them! Jeff Moran (Larry's son) called me and asked if they can bring my car to SEMA, which sounds pretty cool, but also sounds like a bit of a hassle...

    I remember seeing it under a big tent/awning, with about 4-5 other sweet cars... not sure about "club car section"... This was setup within the vendor area.

    When I went in through the east gate I was given a map of the area, and one section on the west side of the track was reserved for club members cars, I did not make it over to that side of the event during my 3 hour tour of the vender area. I did see all the vipers under the tent by the entrance to the track.

    Oh... then no, this was not in that section. It was in between lots of stands selling T-shirts, Mopar Performance tent, etc. (vendor area).
