The last time I watched a race was when they let richard petty go out as a tribute in his 67 belvedere, but he refused to come back in! That was funny! I own a 67 GTX today just because in high school (1967) when I was a rabid fan He won damn near every race in that car!

if Nascar wants people to cheer for the particular driver, then why even bother to name the brand of car being raced? apparently the style of the car is the only difference between them then? why chevy, not a ford engine? to keep the playing field even was never the intention for the " Back in...

yup, they just lost me.

I drive this not as much as I should

I had hoped the KB162 was similar to the originals, as the manufacturer advertised. But they aren't. However, I do have these lower compression pistons in another 69 383,9(Possibly,2008) and it runs very well. not the quickest, but after 20 years it still runs great. I can say an original 383...

That is Less then I hoped, but it is what it is.The stock hp was 10:0,and 2bbbl was 9:2. at least the car is a four speed. I also have a redone set of the original 906 heads, as a spare set, but I thought that would lower the expected CR? I haven't Installed the heads yet, so I can go either...

Thanks! I feel better. This a bone stock original 383 Barracuda down to the hubcaps. No racing, but maybe to Salt lake or Flagstaff this summer to see kids. No abuse allowed! would you hazard a guess as to what my CR will be?The 915 heads I am using have the larger valve, if my memory serves me...

Am I in deep doodoo? We are just finishing my 69' 383 engine with the .030 over KB162 pistons, stock 383 magnum cam, using the 67' 915 closed chambered heads, and .025 (mancini said the .020 was no longer made)steel head gaskets. anything to do to avoid any problems with the setup? any...

The 69 Coronet hardtop to me is one of the best styles of the time. combined with F8 Green.

I love that Green, I own a 69 Coronet and Barracuda, both in F8! And the 70' is a striking car,, 80k I agree

my experience in my area price and time wise depended on where the bumper was sent to be done. Many shops say they do them, but just pack them and ship in mass to a state where there are more chrome facilities.they then just mark them up and charge accordingly. It has been a while, but I made a...

Well fast forward from 15 april 2014, and still here! 11 more years, and a few additions to the shed since then! My Nephew suggested walking thru the group and describe them, good bad and all. and they would record everything as it goes, as they (family)don't know anything about any of them...

I lost it all, well over six figures.I was employed by Enron before it was Enron(Northern Natural and Houston natural gas),and was one of the first people to begin work in the headquarters in 1986. The criminals, or gotaways were numerous VP's that split before Enron froze all accounts!

My 77 Cordoba had the heavy duty suspension and tow package. But the rims were 6.5 rims, not 7. 6 was standard. My car specified either G78 orG70 15 tires, they were steel wheels with wires though, not Rally or sport wheels. They could be different.

I hope It is ok to ask here, is there a ram truck Forum here somewhere affliliated wth FBBO? I want to advertise my 2012 Ram 3500 for sale. Thank you in advance for any suggestions as to where to do this?
