Welcome

Welcome to the official website of the Chrysler Car Club of South Australia.
Adelaide, South Oz is the birthplace of the Valiant and spiritual home of Chrysler down under. Established in 1984, one of the biggest and oldest car clubs in Australia, the CCCSA have 198 financial members - 128 on the historic registration scheme - with our monthly meetings attracting at least forty or more MoPar enthusiasts regularly.

BREAKING NEWS

The Chrysler Merger
Our sources reveal that now Nissan is emerging as the most likely new partner for a merger with Chrsyler, although news still abounds on the net that GM are still contemplating it. The times they are a changin'. We'll keep you posted...

The 2008 All Chrysler Day DVD almost here...
The multi-talented PC is now applying the finishing touches to our official 2008 ACD dvd, right on time for Xmas. CCCSA.net had a sneak preview of it and it's awesome! Lots of variety and concentrated hits of Mopar eye-candy.

This year's dvd features the Mopar MegaCruise (of course as usual) and the big 300C Cruise, along with footage from Chryslers On the Murray and the Tamworth Chrysler Show. No doubt however, a lot of our folks will be most keen to peg out all the burnout excerpts of Mopars from the last couple of GazzaNats - featuring some of our very own club people going absolutely apeshit. Fantastic viewing.

Coming soon - hopefully available at the next (December) monthly meeting, so stay tuned.

New Torqueback coming soon! But first, get well Adriana.
The new-look Torqueback is just about ready to print as soon as the committee make a couple of important decisions about it. Sorry about the delay while the magazine has been changing hands but please be patient, it will be well worth the wait!

Speaking of hands, another quite understandable reason for the delay has been that our new editor Adriana had an unfortunate mishap a couple of weeks ago, at a swap meet when she jammed her hand in the door of her dad Herman's DeSoto. It proved to be a very nasty accident when she almost lost a finger, but she is recovering well and has still been able to put some time in on the newsletter.

Gutsy stuff bud. Get well soon.

MOPARS INVADE WELLINGTON

Andy Radloff recalls the CCCSA's recent weekend of November 15 and 16 up at the river, which was a great success!

We cruised up the freeway and stopped in murray bridge at M'cues bakery for
lunch, we then cruised out towards wellington, and luckily the tall well
dressed female hitchhiker didn't cause a multi chrysler pile up on the way,
But it was close as some of the drivers contemplated dangerous emergency
stopping maneuvers.

There was about 6 other chryslers in attendance but I consumed some beer and
forgot 2 take pictures of the other cars. Sorry to the vh charger, dodge,
jeep, vip, vk charger and vg coupe I think.

We had almost 30 club members at the wellington hotel where the chrysler
club shouted everyone a main course meal. The meals were huge and bloody
tasty , some very courageous members even dared to order sweets!
A club regular drunkenly fell off his chair at the dinner table, while
another club member had some dirt uncovered about the previous brand X cars
that him and his wife owned, good to see that they came to their senses and
ditched the Holden and moved up to the style and luxury of a dodge!
Another club member failed in his attempt to keep his drinks and meal in his
stomach.

Every one had a great time at the hotel and we headed back to the caravan
park and got stuck into a few more drinks and stories. Everyone went 2 bed
around midnight , so greg and myself thought we had better walk back 2 the
hotel for more beer and a 8 ball challenge. We staggered back to the caravan
park and allegedly it was 2 or 3 am.

Sunday morning bacon sausages eggs, muffins tea and coffee was put on by the
chrysler club, it helped my hangover quite a bit. we all packed up and
headed our separate ways, several car loads stopped in on old Tailem town on
the way back towards home. Some brilliant old cars, bikes, trucks, furniture
and memorabilia is always on display! And always new additions pop up every
month at old Tailem town.

So a very low cost weekend and good to see a good amount of people coming
up, some just popped in for a few hours , some half a day and the rest
stayed overnight, cabins cost $40 for the basic 4 berth type up to $60 for a
nice modern ensuite cabin.

Thanks to all the 30 members who attended !



EVEN MORE RARE MOPAR GOODIES AVAILABLE AT ADRIAN BRIEN CHRYSLER

Our good friends and principle sponsor are offering a good deal for CCCSA members on some very unique authentic merchandise.

Darren Alexander at Adrian Brien will be selling special limited edition prints officially sanctioned and licensed by Chrysler Mopar. Suitable for mounting and framing, AB's will also be kindly donating a mounted print to the club - hopefully we'll be able to hang it somewhere in the clubrooms. There are three to currently choose from, including this incredible and well-known fireball image shown here, as well as two others featuring Gary Scezi and the US Team Mopar drag racing squad with their NHRA Hemi nitro funnycar.

Now these prints usually retail for around $48.00 but if you go in there with your club card Darren will give you a discount to $35. He also has a limited number (10) of blue and white Mopar Performance wrist bands that were released by Chrysler Australia for the Adelaide Motor Show staff. You cant get these anywhere. So, for a limited time (until they runout) he will be giving them to any CCCSA members when they buy four or more merchandise items from us.

Also don't forget about the Mopar Merchandise range and Vintage Collection available at AB's. Chrysler Australia and its authorised dealers in Chrysler, Dodge and Jeep have just received from the States a catalogue of clothes and accessories in three new ranges - namely the "Mopar Vintage Collection" range, the "Mopar Track Range" and the "Mopar Accessories" range.

The new ranges cover our marque's livery from the so-called Muscle Car Era to the latest 21st century Mopar branding. The Vintage Range is a new line of tee shirts, caps and jackets with retro designs from the 50s, 60s and 70s. The Track Range is a line of jackets, caps, beanies, polos, garage shirts and hoodies featuring the new typemark. The Accessories Range boasts an umbrella, pen, stubby holder, lanyard, coffee mug, cufflinks, tote bag, stickers, camping chair and key ring celebrating the blue, white and black colors of Mopar.

While the goodies are all naturally and obviously of a good quality being the official merchandise of our make, what is pleasantly surprising is that the price range of each item is quite reasonable. For instance a Vintage tee will set you back only $25 while a coffee mug is only $15. Great value for the real deal!

So when you next go for a perv on a 300C at Adrian Brien Chrysler, go around to Darren Alexander in the merchandise area to check out all the goodies. Catalogues available too. Spread the good word!
