They were likely ordered for stock by the same dealership and the orders were processed at the same time by the factory would be my best guess. Do either of them have a broadcast sheet or door sticker? Those can give you a better idea of the actual build date.

Yes, what a great colour combo. I love Sassy Grass Green and it looks especially good on that car.

I'm probably in the minority but I think the K6 bronze is a great colour that really pops in the light. Many years ago I bought a garage kept 71 Valiant for parts (original owners gave it to the grandson who promptly put it in the ditch while driving it in the winter) in that colour and thought...

I’ve owned many Mopars but never officially owned a 71-74 B-body before but I ran across this one and couldn’t pass it up. It’s a 72 that’s still wearing its original TB3 paint along with the B5 interior. The original front bench was tossed in favour of a pair of buckets of unknown origin but I...

383 2bbl which a previous owner had some custom chroming done to back in the 70’s. It runs excellent so I’m thinking that it might have been rebuilt somewhere along the way.

Personally I'd drain the tank and burn that gas in an old lawnmower or something like that. I definitely wouldn't run it through a modern fuel injected computer controlled engine unless you're planning on scrapping the car and taking the bus instead.

It was on Kijiji in Canada which is the equivalent of Craigslist in the US. The cars are out there and show up from time to time, you just have to look regularly and be ready to act fast when something nice comes up. The good cars that are fairly priced don't stay advertised for long.

I recently bought this 1960 Adventurer which was the last year of DeSoto production in Canada. I believe they made them for one more year in the US before they pulled the plug.

Welcome...I really enjoy the channel,keep up the great work.

Good call in going with the GY8.I have a 71 Sport Fury parts car in that color and it would have been a real looker when it was in good shape many years ago.It's pretty rough now,unfortunately. I think the pic you posted is the first time I've seen a RR in that color but I've seen some 71...

Welcome from across the water in Victoria.I seem to remember seeing that car for sale and it looks really nice. I used to have red 66 Coronet that I sold about 25 years ago and supposedly it's still here on the Island but I haven't seen it since then. It was a 383 4 speed car but it had a 440...

Never knew that until now,that's cool and interesting.

Before removing the axles,I usually put a dab of paint on the adjuster ring where the retaining washer was engaged.That way when you put it back together,the old adjustment should get you real close or right where you need to be for the end play adjustment. Also,when greasing the rear wheel...

Dude,that's one of my bucket list cars and in one of my favorite Mopar color combos as well.Congrats on an awesome find.

I see that done here in Canada all the time.Old guy passes away alone and no relatives can be found or they don't want to deal with it and the government gets the works and auctionis it all off online.Never seen a Hemi GTX until now,though. I like the survivor vibe on that car.Personally I'd...
