"Spotted on the Road". Thunder Bay, Ontario, Canada

Car #2...

I don't know what kind of Dodges you guys have up north there, but that's a Chevy Camaro in the picture. Hey, somebody tell him what year?

Yes, Mrs. Briggs.  Had meant to say it's a Chevy (not a Dodge, my mistake) and you've spotted it as a Camaro.  But still don't know it's year and still not sure what that great Hemi is attached to.

Canadians pretty much have the same cars as Americans do.  Except they all have good engine block heaters and mandatory running lights.

Car#1-Dodge Charger 68 or 69. Similar to the one in a Fast & Furious.  And yes, aftermarket.

Car#2- Again 1968 or 1969. With a pic of rear end of car could say which year for sure.

Thanks so much for your help, Vivie!  You are a CAR expert.

Can't take all the credit, I had some help!  

Take credit where credit is due.

I've already got them up on our Pinterest car page.  Give it a look: http://www.pinterest.com/trave...velgumbo-loves-cars/

Cool! Pinned it to my board!  Looking forward to seeing more car pics.

My thoughts

Car # 1  1967-68 Dodge Charger with a 426 Hemi.  Not necessarily aftermarket - you could get it as an option.  The high rise and the blower were added.  They came with dual quads.

Car # 2  Most likely 1969 Camaro Super Sport (SS) Coupe.  396 engine.

What's special about these beauts ?  > They are worth a lot of money these days 

$ 30 K - $ 40 K.

Thanks for that extra feedback, Waterloo!  I know where to come with photos of cars I can't recognize now.

The black car is a 1970 Dodge Charger R/T. You can tell it's a '70 by the line across the middle of the grille and the shape of the front-fender running lights. R/Ts only came with two engine choices - the 375 HP 440 cubic inch or the 425 HP 426 Hemi.

The second car is a 1969 Camaro. It appears to be an SS, but that's pretty easy to clone.

Can't wait to see what you came up with in Cuba!

Thanks, Dave B!!  Another car expert!  We're lucky to have you as a member!  I love cars, but as with women find they're pleasant to look at but I know little about them,  LOL!  (hey, it's a joke everyone, relax!)

Appreciate your input and we've several pieces on Cuban cars planned, featuring dozens of photos.  I know you'll like them.  And be challenged by them.  Cubans have a say of changing cars slightly when needed.

And feel free to share your love of cars as you hit the road with the rest of us!

Dave B -  That is interesting.  I had wondered about the front grill on the Charger.  I had noticed the front fender running lights but had not known their significance.  Thanks for the education.
