Mopar Connection Charges Into The 2024 Hot Rod Power Tour, Part 1

Possibly one of the most challenging feats for man and machine is completing the annual Hot Rod Power Tour. Venturing thousands of miles over America's highways and side streets, thousands of hot rods, muscle cars and modern machines attempt the week-long adventure.
Mopar Connection Magazine's Editor-in-Chief, Kevin Shaw jumped head first into this year's Power Tour in our 10-second 1969 Dodge Charger R/T "Brazen" accompanied by several friends and coworkers, as well as his 82-year-old father, who rode shotgun helping film, give directions and critique the occasional missed shift.

Great coverage. Although more of a GM guy. I do love some MOPARS. Great mix of cars your friends have. And the best part. Having your dad along. Proving you are never to old. Thanks.

[@moparconnection]

Right on! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@Green69Fish]

Fricken Mopar heaven!!!! Love it, great job!!!!

[@moparconnection]

Glad you like it!

[@johnbarron1329]

Totally cool video except for that fuel spill what a bummer! Glad it got fixed tho! 👍🏁💯

[@moparconnection]

Tell me about it! Grateful we caught it at home and not on the road!

[@henrybourdon6712]

Enjoyed the video very much. Keeping it real is nice to see.

[@moparconnection]

Glad you enjoyed it

Had the white 70 Roadrunner convertible at our show at QTP in Moore, SC a couple yrs ago.

[@moparconnection]

Sweet!

[@blueduster74]

It’s really sad what happen to CA. I spent 20 yrs there off and on in the service. Escaped for good in 2021 to SC.

[@moparconnection]

It's not the same place I grew up in. Left in 2012 and never looked back.

[@dogdoc1]

I'm sure neighbors were loving that!!!

[@moparconnection]

Thankfully, I’m a very good neighbor who happily fixes lawnmowers and fences.

[@GLHS592]

An old friend and I went the last 2 years, but we decided to skip this year. We shouldn't have done that. I enjoyed the video and Jim's Belvedere is looking good.

[@moparconnection]

Hopefully we’ll see you next year!

[@dirtlump]

What a show.... THX for Sharing !

[@moparconnection]

Absolutely! Thanks for watching

[@blueduster74]

Awesome Charger. More awesome that your dad was with you. I need to get my dad out in mine soon. My 340 ate a lifter so I’m swapping a mild magnum 360 in while I rebuild the 340.

[@moparconnection]

Right on! Yeah, get that 340 dialed ASAP

[@dancudalocklin]

Love that color, same color of the '70 Challenger that color. Now I own a sublime 'Cuda with 5k original miles. Cool Charger we also had a 70 Charger back then and the Cuda I have now. 🙂Have a Nice Day !!!

[@moparconnection]

That's cool!

[@SixBarrel]

Great 🍻👍🏼 Best of luck

[@moparconnection]

Thanks!

[@michaeladamo6279]

That’s f@&king awesome you’re dads with you!

[@moparconnection]

Yeah it was a great adventure to share together.

[@michaeladamo6279]

I am envious of you that you got to do that!

[@blueduster74]

Boo on the LS Ford. A 351 with flat tops and nice heads would make more.

[@moparconnection]

The original motor was dead and Roy had the powertrain on hand; it ran awesome and got killer MPG. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@tylerbirkey5015]

I always thought Tom Shaw was your dad.

[@moparconnection]

LOL and I’ve gotten that comment for decades! (I can see why too)

[@MrSixtycycle]

Where is home base that your able to get back each day

[@moparconnection]

Most of us lived just a few miles north of Nashville

[@blueduster74]

How has the Fast EZ worked overall?

[@moparconnection]

Unfortunately, it’s pretty limited. It’s worked great thus far but the further I push this car the more tunability I need.

[@redgoatgarage]

@33:37 is me! haha I'm famous!

[@moparconnection]

“KZbin famous” has a different feel to it 🤣

[@TorontoModifiedKarKlub]

Wow. That silver blue 71ish charger. Nice. Looks similar to one that was at MCACN.

[@moparconnection]

Yeah it was cherry

[@RyanBrutt]

They wouldn't let me go out and see that 68 Charger in the end

[@moparconnection]

The ratty blue 318 one in Nashville?

[@RyanBrutt]

@@moparconnection Yeah, they wouldn't let me drive over and see it. I could only walk.

[@michaeladamo6279]

The impala that youfilmed at 33 minutes. Looks like ET is the power plant.

[@moparconnection]

Huh. Weird I don’t see that

[@michaeladamo6279]

@@moparconnection when you first zoom in on it the three openings look like ET’s head for a second 😂 please don’t block me! How much did you enjoy that 5th gear catching up with the crew on day three?

[@moparconnection]

LOL! The overdrive gear was IMPERATIVE to us enjoying Power Tour like we did.

[@michaeladamo6279]

@@moparconnection hey are you going to get to Carlisle this year

[@moparconnection]

I doubt I'll personally make it, but Chris Holley our Tech Editor will be there.

[@69Coronet500]

Car is looking and sounding good 👍 would it be feasible to put an access panel in there for the sender etc?

[@moparconnection]

Thank you!
