I love how the "Modern Bullitt Charger" turned out, but it's bittersweet, 'cause now I have nothing good to watch!
Pat, you've gone and spoiled us. I've been searching for months and everything else pales in comparison!

2022 Hot Rod Power Tour was a blast! 8 days, 8 states, and over 2800 miles! The tour started in Memphis and we took two days to get there. From there it went to Nashville speedway, then down to Hoover Alabama, and on to Pensacola Florida and ended at the Atlanta motor speedway.

We stopped in some cool places along the way such as the pickers Nashville store along with their Columbia car dealership, Jack Daniels distillery, The Wellborn musclecar museum, and the Tuskegee airbase,

We had a few mechanical issues consisting of, a bad alternator, 2 hour fix. A leaky O ring fitting to the hidroboost, 1 1/2 hour fix. And The plastic gear for the speedometer broke at 2300 miles, I’ll fix that when I change all the fluids;-)

Kurt’s mustang fuel gauge stop working halfway through the tour and his power window switch stop working. All of which was fun and makes the trip that much more exciting! The best part is the cars went through the tour with no dents, scratches or nicks of any kind;-)

Driving across the country in old muscle cars is an absolute blast! We didn’t get arrested:-), didn’t have an accident, nobody stole the cars and we had a Great time! The power tour started this journey, restoring these two cars. And it was great to complete this journey having both cars perform so well on the tour!Been about nine years since our last tour 2013 and I only hope is that not that long before our next one;-)

Thanks

Good trip and good story. Did you check fuel mileage?

Mustang was 20+ mpg and the Charger was about 16 mpg.
Thanks

Spectacular!
Although, I can't help but to wonder what's sleeping in those bunks with the covers pulled over their head.
Great cars man, just amazing. Thank you for sharing with us.

Did the 16mpg have something to do with the right foot or the fuel trim on the efi? ")

On the ground is an original paint 60,000 mile 66 GTO, and on the lift is a numbers matching fully restored 72 Trans Am.
Thanks!

actually I kept my foot out of it 90% of the time;-) but I do think there’s room for improvement once I do some fine tuning on the fast EFI.
Thanks

Love the cars Pat - glad to see you made it to the Tour ---

I gotta ask - what is the setup on the Stang?

Thank You!

Received a couple of cool poster of the cars on the power tour. One of the drivers looks mentally unstable;-)

[wfo guy]

The young man looks real happy. But we know the older fellow had a shot gun and gloves. LOL.

The kids in the green car are much smarter than two knuckleheads in the black car;-)

Hi Pat,
I'm wondering, how do you keep the California plates current? Or are they only for show?
Thanks, Brian
