What's going on over at CC.com?

Gordon sold his M46. I think Al knows it's whereabouts but I don't know where to go with that.

Weird enough with that site is that I can't log into it or even go there. But if you search for specific vins and the vin is on cc.com I can somehow find the page that had the vin.
Specifically @RzeroB hemi thread. I have had that thread come up several times now with good information on it. That was a lot of information lost that RzeroB put into that thread. Wish we had that thread here so I could specifically add to it.

That's too bad what happened there. A lot of good stuff happened because of that site.
Makes me wonder how Moparal is doing, whitesatinmopar, raret/a, Mopar Fanatic, wages, Gordon...Lots of people.

I can help a little here.
whitesatinmopar (jim) retired in 2012 and he and his wife moved to the country to live in his Mopar barn. They were pretty much off the grid after that.
Rare T/A (Ken) passed away a few years back.
Mopar Fanatic (Dave), I don't know about. In early 2017 we were talking in private about him flying from Minnesota to Maryland and riding up to the Carlisle show with me. Then all of a sudden, it was radio silence. I did look years later, and he hadn't been on C-C since the last I chatted with him. I'm kind of fearing the worst there.

Thanks Mike
Sad to hear about Ken. We met up with Ken and his wife at Mopars in the Park one year in Farmington MN. He was wearing this 'Hawaiian' type flowered shirt that left a lasting impression on me along with his big smile. He was a very upbeat happy guy.
I met up with Dave once as well. One year we went down with the RV and he came over and sat around the fire with us. Interesting guy. Not sure what you mean by 'fearing the worst'? I got the impression his marriage might be a bit rocky...but when someone says fear the worst.....
By the way. Good to see you are around every now and then Mr. Dangerous.

I tried reaching cuda-challenger and received this in response; here's a screenshot I took. I also tried reaching through individual links I'd saved over the years - each of which contained information or pictures I planned on referencing once my own project resumed - but received the same screen in response.

Yup...looks to be done.

Registration doesn't expire until 2025 .... after that it's up for grabs. They should have sold it to Cody years ago instead of letting it languish, die and all it's historical data disappear.

Oddly, it looks like someone updated some of the domain information 3 weeks ago.

Too bad. It's hard to imagine the goal they had in mind for that site and what other outcome they expected from basically starving it to death.

torredcuda · December 27, 2024, 05:14:53 AM

Kind of like the rusting car in the yard that the owner won`t do anything with but won`t sell it either. It was once a great site but the owner just neglected it until it died.

For anyone wanting to find old threads this was posted on FB, it`s an archive site that I never heard of -

cuda hunter · January 04, 2025, 02:18:56 PM

That is interesting. Wonder if it works.
Gotta pay out something to use it as it appears.

If the archives were available I would think it would be worth it.

I just attempted to check in, but the URL no longer appears to be functioning. Doubly grateful for the efforts of all who have made and continue to make this site the invaluable resource it is.
