Hot-roddicus supersonicus!

[Dreadl0ck]

Hi all. I've been hanging out in the for sale part for a while and was burned on one and found my true love in another (Snake Eater's) roadrunner. But due to family illness, my budget was cut tight so I had to pass on that one. Saddened I returned to Sweden without any bird, but guess what surfaced 2 days after my return to the land of the Vikings?

Something really odd but filled my basic requests. I wanted a non # matching car, with a 727 on the floor, bucket seats and console. I didn't know what I thought about the color from just looking at the pictures, but in person it looks really good. This is pictures from when I bought it (yes, I flew over to Florida to inspect it and pay for it in person....)

Engine don't have many miles on it since restoration, and the be-cool radiator is brand new.

Interior looks great, but isn't factory but repro. I'm going to do evil things with this car

If you ever need towing in Florida - this is the guy to call! Tiny!

I've driven Mopars since I got my license but I've been the Modern Mopar kind of guy. I can't believe I finally bought the car I've had on the wall when I was a young boy! Now I have ALOT of reading up to do - everything from tuning carbs, to what cam to use on that 440. So bare with me, but I promise I'll learn fast!

MEEP MEEP

Welcome aboard from Ocala, Fl.
Noticed the truck is from Silver Springs! That's our neighboring community is the car from Ocala?

Check out the '80's "Garnet" or "Claret" red from Chrysler.

I like it, what shifter is that?

I don't know. It's a wooden pistol grip but don't know if it's a one off or if it's something that went into mass production. Don't know if I like it and if I don't - you can buy it

Yes, the car is from Ocala - down by the cracker barrel off the highway

Very nice. Looks like the previous owner put some love into the car.

looks like a factory shifter with an after market knob.
