1999 Prowler<br />
Car owner: Charles and Samantha Alicea<br />
Car: 1999 Plymouth Prowler<br />
We took these photos on the western shore of Lake Olathe. It was a bit windy and we were on<br />
gravel which made it a bit tricky to keep this beauty clean throughout the shoot.<br />
Charles and Samantha are the owners of this 1999 Plymouth Prowler. This car has a color change<br />
“Ghost Flame” paint job. Under the hood it sports a 3.5L V-6 engine that produces 253 HP, a<br />
4-speed automatic transmission and open wheel design with an independent suspension. It has<br />
17” tires and rims in the front and 20” in the back. This prowler also has a built-in radar detector<br />
as well as a Soundstream sound system, 6 JBL speakers and a removable hard top. Since this shoot<br />
was done, the Prowler has had a front bumper delete and a trailer hitch added to it. There have been<br />
thoughts about replacing the front grille, but the cost has been an issue. There are also plans to<br />
upgrade the sound system.<br />
Charles and Samantha bought the Prowler in 2021 from Briggs Auto in Manhattan, KS. It already<br />
had the Ghost Flames paint and the Cat on the trunk when it was purchased. When asked<br />
about what gratification is felt from showing the car, Charles replied, “A lot of people don’t see<br />
many cars like this.” “Most younger kids have never seen this type of car before.” “It definitely turns<br />
heads when we are driving around in it.” “We get a lot of “thumbs up” when we drive around in it.”<br />
A lot of the shows the Aliceas attend are for charities because they believe in giving something<br />
back to the community. They first started going to car shows when Charles owned a 2001 Ford<br />
SVT Lightning pickup. Later it was traded in for a 2007 Corvette Z06. After a while it was sold<br />
in order to purchase the Prowler. Charles and Samantha enjoy going to car shows to meet people<br />
that share a common interest and to see all of the mods that have been done to the cars at the show.<br />
They attend around 20 to 25 shows per season and try to make it a point to attend new shows for<br />
the first time. They regularly attend “Cars in the Park” at Shawnee Mission Park in October. The<br />
show benefits the Special Olympics. Other notable shows are the Wichita, KS car show, the Fuel<br />
House show and a car show in Emporia, KS.<br />
Charles and Samantha’s hobbies include hunting and shooting. When asked about what vehicle<br />
they would buy they both agreed that they would want another Corvette. However Samantha says<br />
that she wants a C8 Vette and Charles wants another Z06 Vette. I could see them both in his and<br />
hers Vettes!<br />
Charles and Samatha would like to give a special shout out to Tim and Robin Dellinger (Chiefs<br />
Truck on cover of EMPSC issue 17)!<br />

Car owner: Ronald Dale Geer Jr.<br />
Car: 1969 Dodge Charger<br />
1 9 6 9 Charger<br />
The photos were taken at the scenic Riverside Waterfall in Riverside, MO, not far from the<br />
Argosy Casino and Hotel. The day was partly cloudy with good visibility.<br />
Dale is the proud owner of this classic 1969 Dodge Charger in black. This car sports a<br />
440 V-8 <strong>Mag</strong>num engine with a FITECH EFI fuel injection six pack manifold. It nominally<br />
generates 395 HP@4700 RPM or higher depending on the fuel injection configuration. The<br />
charger has (20”???) generic Cragar style wheels on BF Goodrich tires. It also has a bluetooth<br />
radio that has a retro classic look as well as power windows that are activated with a<br />
window switch that looks like a classic window crank handle and power door locks. Future<br />
mods include adding heated seats, a lumbar support and air conditioning.<br />
This beautiful Charger has an awesome origin story. Dale won it as a grand prize when<br />
he bought a Resto Mods T-shirt during the Resto Mods #9 giveaway! Dale bought the shirt<br />
because he owns a 1970 Charger as well. This took place back in 2020 during COVID, so<br />
he had to wait to go out to California to get the car. They did some photo and video shoots<br />
of him accepting the car. Afterwards Resto Mods shipped the car to Dale here in the Midwest.<br />
Dale commented “most everyone stops and looks when I drive it on the road.” “Its like<br />
walking around with the prettiest woman in the room on your arm.” “Everybody and their<br />
brother is looking at you in this cool car.” “You feel so lucky to be the one driving the car.”<br />
Dale doesn’t race the car but he gets a lot of kids that want to race him sometimes when he<br />
takes it out for a drive. Dale attends 5 or 6 car shows per season, mostly for charities. They<br />
get Christmas gifts to take to hospitals among other things. Annually attended shows are<br />
usually Ottawa, KS, Bass Pro/ Cabelas in KCK, and other various shows if time permits.<br />
His main hobby is working on antique and classic cars. Dale also flies drones and tinkers<br />
with electronics. He likes to build animated house decorations for Halloween and Christmas.<br />
If money was no object, Dale says that he would buy a full sized flyable SW-51 kit airplane<br />
that is a replica of the WWII P-51 Mustang Fighter Plane.<br />
Other cars in Dale’s collection are a 1970 Dodge Charger and a 1967 MGB GT restored<br />
hard top in pearl blue. This is the car Dales parents used to teach him how to work on cars<br />
and has been in his family since he was 6 years old.<br />
Dale feels extremely lucky to win this car. “After years of helping others it feels good to<br />
have some good fortune come my way.”<br />

Car: 2021 Dodge Challenger Scat Pack RT “Dr. Feel Good<br />
Model: Hanna Stimac<br />
We did our shoot on 8th and Baltimore just south of the old TWA building in Downtown<br />
Kansas City. We set up in front of a beautiful mural of the three fates with follow shots near<br />
the intersection of <strong>18</strong>th and Baltimore Ave.<br />
Chris owns this awesome indigo blue 2021 Dodge Challenger Scat Pack RT, “Dr. Feel<br />

He purchased his dream car from Landmark Dodge in Independence, MO. Dr. Feel Good<br />
has been in 3 music videos. A video with Rickey Ramsey at Lake Jacomo as well as Dewey Da<br />
Don & Tech N9ne for Strange Music. Chris started posting photos of his Challenger to car<br />

1967 Barracuda<br />
Car owner: Larry Sterm<br />
Car: 1967 Plymouth Barracuda Fastback<br />
Our shoot took place in the Crossroads District in Kansas City, MO on the blocks of <strong>18</strong>th<br />
and Cherry near an ivy covered wall as well as 17th & Locust in front of a mural on a beautiful<br />
sunny day.<br />
Larry is the owner of this iconic 1967 Plymouth Barracuda Fastback. The color is B5 blue.<br />
It has a 6.7 liter 410 cu stroker V-8 engine that produces 490 HP@6800 RPM A 3-speed<br />
automatic transmission, 15” Weld Drag White rims with Cooper Cobra tires. It also has<br />
a Retro Sound bluetooth radio with 4 speakers Future mods will include adding a 4 speed<br />
transmission and getting the car race ready.<br />
When Larry was 16, he owned a blue Barracuda Fastback with white interior. His wife<br />
told him that if he ever found another one that he could get it. As luck would have it, Larry<br />
found a very similar car rotting out in a barn in Arkansas back in 2019. Larry said that the<br />
owner wanted $6,000 for it. Larry offered him $2,500 and to his surprise the owner accepted<br />
the deal. Larry then trailered the car back home. Larry and his brother Chuck did a full restoration<br />
on the car during the COVID shutdown in 2020. Larry commented; “It feels good<br />
knowing that I restored the car myself.” “I have had over 200 cars in my life, I have been buying<br />
and selling cars since I was 16.” “It is my pass time.” “ I enjoy going to shows, talking to<br />
car people and looking at other cars.” Some of the shows Larry attends regularly are Ottawa,<br />
KS, Marie’s River Run, Streetcar Takeover, Wednesday nights at Big Boy Burgers and Saturday<br />
nights at Noland Road.<br />
Larry likes to go camping when time permits. If money wasn’t an issue he says the vehicle<br />
he would buy is a green 1971 Dodge Sweptline pickup. Larry would like to give a special<br />
shout out to his brother and best friend Chuck!<br />

Lilith<br />
Car owner: Shannon Juicek<br />
Car: 2022 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited 4x4<br />
We shot photos of Lilith on the north banks of the Missouri River in Parkville, MO were<br />
the river itself is the state line that divides the states of Missouri and Kansas<br />
Jeep Wranglers have been on the road since 1986. They are the descendent of the WWII<br />
jeep made by Willy’s Kaiser-Jeep and American Motors Corporation (AMC) from the mid-<br />
1940’s through the 1980’s when AMC was purchased by Chrysler in 1987.<br />
Shannon is the proud owner of Lilith, a 2022 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited 4x4 that she purchased<br />
from Olathe Dodge in May of 2022. She features a 285 HP 3.6 liter V6 engine with<br />
an 8 speed automatic transmission a suspension that has a 3 inch lift. She has Fuel brand<br />
rims and 35” Cosmo brand Mud Kicker tires. Her factory paint color is “GOBI” as in the<br />
color of the GOBI desert which stretches across the borders of Mongolia and China in<br />
central Asia.<br />
Shannon and her husband Martin have spent some time off roading in the Jeep. They took<br />
her to Kansas Rocks (off road) Recreation Park in Mapleton, KS . They had to deflate the<br />
tires a bit to run through various levels of basic, intermediate and extreme trails along with a<br />
group of other vehicles and thrill seekers. They even did a small drop off from a rock. Lilith’s<br />
doors and roof come off to create a unique open air , uninhibited experience. In fact her all<br />
weather capabilities were put to the test once when it was rained on overnight when the roof<br />
was off.<br />
The Lilith jeep got her name from the video game character “Lilith” in the Diablo IV<br />
game series . The avatar was both the inspiration for the jeep name and for the red accents<br />
on the jeep. Lilith is primarily used as a companion utility vehicle to “Sinner” a 2009 Dodge<br />
Challenger that was a featured on the cover of EMPSC Issue 17. The Wrangler is used to<br />
transport items and props that are used when the Challenger is being displayed at car shows.<br />
However lilith does participate each fall in annual Trunk or Treat events.<br />
Shannon says that some mods that have been done to the jeep are halos with red accents, a<br />
custom sound system, skulls with red eyes on the front bumper and a toy duck collection on<br />
the dashboard. Future mods may include raising the lift on the jeep up to 6 inches as well as<br />
more lights.<br />
