Oh, I understood. Recently had to put new tires and wheels on my cheap old open trailer. More than four hundred just for the tires, (chinese too!) and another two hundred plus for the wheels. And those were the best prices I could find for what I wanted. I was quoted $750 out the door for tires...

I'm guessing you haven't bought trailer tires recently.

Unfortunately, my Opel is NOT a sleeper.

NOTHING is easy at a california dmv!!!. Make a dmv appointment, ask them FIRST about a title before you do anything regarding the Fury. (I assume it's a non-california car?) Nightmare potentially coming! And you're considering buying a car not local to you, off of PICTURES?!?

I put 440 engine stamping in the search engine here, and got seven pages of comments. I suspect there might be some pictures.

How to say "I'm an utterly worthless human being" without saying a word.

You don't lose the numbers when you deck a 440. And if you can find a machinist who cares, and has skills, you can get a 383 decked and still save the numbers. It's done with collector chevy blocks all the time.

You're right, that's my opinion. Anybody that wants to pay more for a stamping is welcome to do it. An hp stamp means nothing to the strength of the block, they were all the same. And having a 70 block in a 70 car does not make it number matching, any more than a 66 or 76 would.

An HP block is worth NOTHING more than any other block. It's a scam to get more for it Anybody that would counterfeit an hp stamp thinks it will make it more valuable. He's wrong. Only those who don't know any better will pay more money for a worthless stamping. (Excluding a numbers matching...

.... or a nice big ball of tin foil. (Easier to find ).

It kinda sounds like it doesn't matter, and nobody knows for sure. Orange or red, either could be right.... or wrong. What color have you got, or can get? That's what I'd use.

Those wheel covers look like they might be the hemi-only fifteen inchers. But, maybe not.......

So, what was the color on the Cuda? I bought a 69 A12 in bahama yellow. First time my dad saw it, he said boy is that color ugly! Is that baby-ship brown? (only he didn't say "ship") He was color blind, so I let it go. I'm really fond of Bahama yellow after all these years.

The true Bad Boys were the 63 Tempests (including a wagon or two) with the super duty 421s and the full size poncho rearends swapped in.(real 63 tempests used a wimpy transaxle, rubber driveshaft, and independent rear). I think there were only a few made (less than ten?) and immediately banned...

1962 421 super duty Catalina's with an aluminum front end were bad mf'ers. Only a couple hundred pounds heavier than the 413 max cars. Dual four barrels on those 421s if I remember right. Quite a bit quicker than the aluminum front 409 horse 409s, and the three-duece 406 fords.
