I had a 68 coronet in my shop for ages, quarters, floors, trunk floor, just piles of work. that one is on to another shop now getting the front & rear frame tied together (good idea) I fixed a lot of cracks in the body from touque flex. That one is a 440 with a single demon carb, 727 with the stock dodge rear end. Belongs to a friend. Something clever here.

When it hooked up it launched hard tho I never got the front tires off the ground...still too heavy. I had the motor in with elephant ears...if you know what those are (not good for a cars body ) Mostly I ran a single 4 bbl carb Holley 850 dper. .

Also one of 3 year models for the M635, a grey market variant of the US model M6 that was lighter, had more horsepower, and is a lot more desirable than the US version. Good looking 6 series. I'll have to take a look next time I'm down in Alpharetta. My 3 series needs servicing soon anyway. :-)

I have to think that dodge pannel my dad did, flies, or will fly, they guy doesn't have it finished yet. That Plymouth is sweet dude. You couldn't run a hood, she'd have blown off.
