I had a '71 Viking Blue 442 and also a '68 1 owner black 442, both when I lived in Santa-Friggin-Maria back in the 90s. Talk about quiet comfort! Even better was the '66 Toronado I had (factory black also). I dang near fell asleep driving it to Pomona! But..... MoPar DNA in me. I missed the...

If you can't find the SEM I used to use Krylon Dull Aluminum.

I sold one a few months ago that I thought was for all Bs. The guy calls me and says it won't fit his Charger. I have the old parts books and sure enough.... Charger is different. The box and the outlet grille.

If I remember right...Charger has a different 'box' than other B bodies.

I've purchased tickets on Thursday in the past, planning on it again this week.

It almost sounds as if wires in the gauge c-board plug have somehow gotten switched? And just for grins... have you tried swapping in a different, or old ivr? I know this one is new, but you never know.

Took advantage of a nice day today.

Nice score!

Dave just reminded me.... It had a Line-Loc and a drive shaft 1/2 loop installed! And the torsion bars were cranked up at least 8 turns!

The original owner couldn't remember why. His memory is going. I could see that the radiator top tank was leaking. That COULD be why? In his garage was a box with power steering components, and another box with power brakes. It could be that he was going to add both but gave up.

A few more taken during the preservation.

Top is original and cleaned up very well. The back window is toasted though. Los Angeles in the summer (in a small garage for 50 years) will do that.

Yes, factory. Pasqual (the original owner) ordered it that way. Manual steering, manual brakes. When I asked the original owner "426, 4 speed and nothing else except power windows?" he told me "I didn't like reaching across to roll down the windows". Made perfect sense to me!

Thanks! 426 Wedge, 4sp. 50k original miles. Original paint, top and interior, just cleaned up. Original engine, trans, sure-grip. This has been a preservation instead of a restoration.
