    Seeking information on a 1970 Superbird bought out of Hugo, Oklahoma in the late 80's

    I grew up living three blocks from an empty city lot in Hugo, OK. Sitting in this lot was a hemi orange 1969 Dodge Charger R/T with a superbird wing on the back and a 1970 Blue Superbird. These cars belonged to a black gentleman by the last name of Featherstone. I lusted over these cars for...

    Question about paint marking on 1969 charger r/t.

    Idk, maybe??? I found a reference to it on a couple other chargers over at dc.com. There was some thought maybe it was A11 because on the other two (2) examples I've seen they were on aero cars. A 500 and a Daytona. My car is just an R/T though. So, I'm thinking it is something else...

    Question about paint marking on 1969 charger r/t.

    When stripping and blasting a '69 charger r/t that I am working on, I've come across a factory paint marking that I'm unfamiliar with. I've stripped a bunch of these cars and to my recollection this is the first time I've seen this mark. Any idea what it was meant to indicate? The mark is...

    FOR SALE 1970 Charger RT XS29 not mine (Wrecked in Oklahoma) No bids yet

    I doubt this car is actually for sale unless there is a ridiculously high bid submitted. These type sealed bid, approval required auctions are often just the insurance company (in this case probably Grundy or Hagerty) trying to get an idea of the value of the car in its wrecked condition. If I...

    1971 Hemi built by Ed Pink in 1978, never started and preserved in a barrel of oil.

    Lol. I'll upload the dyno pull tomorrow (hopefully) and throw a link for it. As for what it's going in, I have a couple chargers, a '68 and a '69. I'll be dropping it in one of those. Can't make up my mind which one though.

    1971 Hemi built by Ed Pink in 1978, never started and preserved in a barrel of oil.

    I assume the R109106 stamped on the machined pad near the oil pan is a partial VIN? I am a little unsure if the 'R' is designating that it was going into a Plymouth B-body or if the 'R' was because that was the letter designating a Hemi in '71. I was told by a gentleman on another forum that...

    1971 Hemi built by Ed Pink in 1978, never started and preserved in a barrel of oil.

    I'm bringing over a thread started in the 'Welcome Wagon' section on Budnicks (thank you) suggestion. I had a chance to start working on the Hemi this weekend. I photographed all the various stampings on the block, and I appreciate any help you all can provide as to exactly what they mean...

    Ed Pink built 426 Hemi

    I had a chance to start working on the Hemi this weekend. I photographed all the various stampings on the block, and I appreciate any help you all can provide as to exactly what they mean. The first couple pics are the stampings just below the starter. I know the 'NM' is likely stamped...

    Ed Pink built 426 Hemi

    Not only were the intake and exhaust ports fully ported and polished, but the combustion chamber of the heads as well as the connecting rods have been polished. As for the documented history of the engine, I have contacted Ed Pink Racing Engines about a build sheet or other documentation of the...

    Ed Pink built 426 Hemi

    Hello! I've been a member on the forum for a couple years but this is my first post. I bought a 426 Hemi this weekend that has a really cool story. I have my beliefs as to what kind of power I could expect, but I'd love to hear others estimates of what I should/could expect. As this is my...
