This is Jesse’s (Blues Bashers guitarist) 1970 Dodge Coronet RT 440. It is similiar to the Super Bee, without the wing in back. They are kind of rare. He bought the car about 12 years ago here in SD and took the motor apart about 8 years ago to get more horsepower (it’s up to about 475 – yeah – not a green machine, about 14 mph). He finally got it back together and running last week.

He jokes that it didn’t run during most of the Bush Administration . . .  which is a good thing.

H/T to my friend Scott for sending me this photo from the OutKast car show in Mitchell, SD (that I freaking missed – damn!) The Rat Fink in me is very disappointed.

When Scott emailed me this photo I said to him,

“That’s cool – but how do they see the road?”

Scott replied, “If seeing the road is more important to you than being cool, I can’t explain it to you… ;-)”
