do you have to roll the windows up to keep it from twisting in half?

gives me the willies. 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.

I thought so . 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. :-)

Nice rigs Salvo! Here is my 1960 GMC Carry-all (Suburban) factory 4x4. It has a "crate" 427 Chev in it (have the receipt from 1967) with a 4 speed & 205 transfer, 3/4 ton axles with 4.10 and Detorit/No-Spin rear. Also, here is 1964 GMC Suburban factory 4x4 with its original 305 cube V-6 (yes, V-6), 4 speed and remote Rockwell T-221 transfer:

I love me some Galaxie. That car rocks.
Actually, I like that Caprice too.
The later summer project will be a good one to say the least.

That Chevy truck and the Landcruiser are sweet rides. I really like those old landcruisers.

Ever run it on a strip? What didja run? 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.

68 Plymouth Roadrunner, built 440 (I eventually put a highrise dual 4 bbl setup on it and ran without the hood). Tubbed, 9 inch 3500 rpm stall converter with a built 727 torquflite tranny. Ran about 600 hp......and would light those big back tires up easy. Love those MOPARS
Well we're Green and we're Gold, and we play better when it's cold. All us Cheese heads have our favorite superstar. We love Brett Favre.

I love the way a strong built Mopar sounds.
I don't want to offend any owner of them but it almost sounds "tin like" when the big cam is thumping in em. I only hear it on the mopars, and I like it.

Tom, I have never run it on the strip, But unofficially it would run in the mid to low 11's depending on its mood. I know exactly the sound you are describing "the tinny" sound, I had a 312 duration cam in it and it "thumped"
