Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire time to tease the mopar fans.

Let's hope it isn't going to be cheap to buy. I hope you blow the doors off Barret-Jackson with that sucker.

I cannot wait to see this build.

I have fender tag, even found the build sheet in the back seat springs. Sadly, she was a single 2 barrel 383 car.

Original engine is long gone.

In my mind, this sort of sets me free.

Dave,

while I'm no Mopar guy (fan yes, very little knowledge), the restoration juices always get me going. It will be interesting to see the sale value of other than stock since Mopars are so serially matched.

I know there are a lot of EFI mods happening on the lesser valued Dusters, Darts, etc, but that is much higher on the classic value ladder.....oh well....just thinking out loud as you're the pro. Good luck with the resto when you get to it!

Ah....you posted while I was writing.....seems the build sheet has set you free!!

Well, I guess that frees you up to do anything you'ld like without screwing up a very valuable car.

HOT DAMN!

The start of another great Northern_Dave megathread!

I would have said that restoration of that one wasn't possible -- but I have seen Northern_Dave's magic on other threads!

Your number one fan in Sweden,

John

Good on you for bringing these back from the dead, the right way. It's not easy.
You must have one heck of a pharmacist.

Thanks John!

Here's a real time shop tour.

BIG chevy.



I have to get the chevies rolled out, more fords and mopars are waiting to come in!

Bought a 69 R/T S/E (Black leather interior, 440 Magnum, auto in 1972 from a coworker. Plum Crazy with white vinyl top.

One of very few ordered from the factory with both the S/E and R/T options.

Posi rear, and aftermarket Holley 780cfm carb (List 3310). I chickened out at 140MPH.

Drove it two years and had an electrical fire. Gave it to my Brother-in-Law.

Gas crunch ate me alive. The trunk lid interior was plastered with first place stickers from Englishtown, NJ.

Greg

nice!

First thing I thought of....

Don't know if you watch this at all - free on youtube but I dig what they do.

As the 2nd video shows - old Class A Mopar based RV's are cheap, a lot around and come with a 440 and 727 - might be good donor material...

Dave, ballpark what do you figure something like that will run your eventual buyer?

I'm not Dave...but my guess would be a kidney, a lung, and a left nut on the Chinese black market...

A bit early to say, but it may take better than a hundred thou.

Wow

I guess I'm sitting on a plum crazy retirement nest egg that I didn't realize. All this time I was sweating not having my e body no.s match.

well I had no idee you were working so cheap!


in that case put two of em together and bill to issac/bob


I'm pretty sure he'll want me to have one just like his minus the fuzzy dice of course on mine.

can't wait to see it, never owned a 68 or 69 (my faves of the mopar offerings)

my first car was a '71 Charger, oh lord did I think I was BA

Was going to post a comment, but realized it would range uncomfortably close to the "hijacking a thread" area, so will just start a new thread.

Pollock Dave,

I have a soft spot for all things Mopar so I must share this drunken evening.

I was blessed with having a neighbor that did this type of schit growing up. His name was Ken Evans. He and his shop made a bunch of restoration parts for Indians and Harleys, but holy fugk did he know his way around anything cool.

You and your son remind me of him and yes that's a compliment.

GFY.



Dave

Why would you efi that car when you have a tri-power setup? I know efi is a lot "better", but this is an enthusiasts car. Of course my Dad had a 389 tri-power Pontiac and it was cool. Will an efi setup sell higher?

Now we're getting into custom ceramic coated stainless headers.
