Hello hello!!!
Just got home from a VERY long trip to Pennsylvania and back, to pick up my first Mopar!
It started life as a blue 68 Belvedere with a 318 and a 3.23 Sure-Grip. Someone put a ton of time and money into this thing, and changed it over to Plum Crazy Purple. You guys wouldn't believe how clean the car is...the floors are like brand new.
I have a target completion date of September, and that includes going slow and taking the time to do things right. I already had a 78 440 / 727 combo sitting in my garage with less than 20,000 on the clock, so in that goes! I will be installing an RV cam, Performer 440 manifold, 750 vac. secondary, headers and full 3 inch pipes. Should be a great running street car, plenty of grunt and able to run on pump gas with no problems.
The gray slot mags will be going away in a few months, too. I'm thinking of Cragars...15x7 up front, 15x10 in the back.
First order of business over the next few weeks is to go over the alignment of the body panels, really get that as perfect as possible. Then, make sure the suspension is in order. After that, it's drivetrain time. Interior will be last.
What do you all think??
I have to get batteries for my phone, and there will be a slew of pics soon, but for now, here's one from when it was in the sellers show room. It really doesn't do it any justice at all, but at least you can see it!
