if you ever come across a 64 polara in rebuildable condition for a fare price send me a PM. would prefer a 2dr post but a hard top would work as well. planning on building a 543 stroker to stuff in one. goal being a 10 second street car sleeper.

haven't been back to Mopar yet, some of the new challengers look sweet
Dave do you enjoy the project as much as the finished product?
knew of a guy that was always restoring a classic and always driving one he'd restored with a for sale sign in the window.
financed his hobby/addiction pretty well. Said dang near everyone he did, he'd find some doctor or lawyer or biz man that had either had that particular model in his youth or desired one back then.
normally turned down many offers on each one, but he always ended up gettin his asking price from someone according to him.
you can see the lust your car threads inspire here
just food for thought for ya
I'm pretty certain when we sing our anthem and mention the land of the free, the original intent didn't mean cell phones, food stamps and birth control.

Gunner My 64 Belvedre came from Detroit with the 426 wedge and a four speed. Hurst shifter in front of the bench seat. Sox and Martin springs all the way around. Drop the clutch and whole car lifted up about 6-8 " and flew. The only mods made were fenderwell headers and deep oil pan. And slicks. It embarrased many Mustangs and Camaros back then.

Sounds like an inexpensive way to paint, cool deal. I know we spent about that much for the Viper red on my son's 56 ferd F-100.
You may need to change the rear gears to 3.55 or deeper, I am surprised a 383 4 speed came with 3.23's. My 74 Challenger 360 came with a 3.55 SG..... got a spare clutch 3.55's....
The paint on mine is Black, with Cherry pearl and metalflake, makes a very interesting "old school" Chameleon effect.

there's a company that you can buy the steel cop wheels from widened or send them yours to widen. my buddy has some 15x10 he got from them he ran on the back of his 67 coronet rt Yes stx, the co. is called Wheel Vintiques, I run the black steel wheels and chrome lug nuts on my old RR. Northern Dave, when You crack Your project open if You see You need any parts, I got lots of front and rear inner window components, also have a like new set of cragar's w/like new radial tire's, as well as factory front and rear glass for the 69 RR. Gunner Thanks man. Well I just placed my body panel order as well. left and right quarter panel skins, full trunk floor, trunk floor to quarter extensions and the drivers side wheel house. oh, a new back bumper too. There aint much left, windshield gasket, maybe some trim clips, little bit of weatherstripping, a windshield washer bottle/pump... Yeah there just aint a whole bunch left after what I ordered today... I pretty much ate up my build budget, maybe 2-300 left. should cover my odds & ends.
Something clever here.

Agree about the top. Never cared for vinal.
My late brother had a 66 and 68 Charger, both were hemi's. What a rush.

But that's everything I need, all my sandpaper, body fillers, glazing fillers, awesome polyester hi build surfacing primer, epoxy prime, urethane primer/sealer, my basecoat, my clear coat, misc mixing supplies like cups, sticks, spreaders etc.
Can I borrow some sand paper?
