Good morning from Oklahoma.
Lifelong MOPAR kid. First car was a '73 Charger. Since then I've owned a '70 and a '68 Charger as well. The '68 was the last one and my biggest regret in terms of cars I've let go. Spent a couple years bringing her back to life and then sold her off when I was going through some life changes.
That was over 25 years ago. Since then, I've raised a family and I'm getting the itch again. A buddy dumped an opportunity in my lap and I'm thinking of taking on a project. I have the opportunity to purchase a pretty complete and unmolested 1971 340 Road Runner. A/C , buckets, automatic console car. She's all there except for a complete engine. It does have correct period block, heads, intake and crank along with a complete marine 340 to sweeten the deal. It will all require freshening up and/or restoration to even get it to street status.
It's been awhile, and prices for everything look to be through the roof since the last time I did this, but at the same time information is much easier to come by thanks to the internet! I built my last one off of manuals, books, and magazines lol.
Looking forward to soaking in the wealth of knowledge here.

, nice start 
Talk about a rush and there’s no turning back. We are responsible for the preservation and care of these cars. People can’t see and hear them if we don’t drive them. You will find lots and lots of friends here with interesting information and ideas to help you out. We thrive on pictures here too
