First Car Purchase Experience- 67 Fairlane on CL and ad stated no pilots, no young drivers. He took me for a rip down some back roads and then on to 95 in CT, saw the big smile on my face and knew I was not going to negotiate. Drove right on the trailer. Sold that about 2 years later without a...

There is a restored/rebuilt unit from Mr Heaterbox (?) on Facebook - on the 67 B Body pages -Search 66-67 Charger Freaks. No conection. Fwiw- i had mine rebuilt and would not do again. Seems that the replacement units are as good and can be had for less.

Time to think about rear ends. :carrot: As the build progresses, i dont believe the stock rear end will hold up and it would be nice to further wake up the vehicle with a better gear set. Subject in question is a 67 charger w 496. On order is a Tremec 5 speed- about to be shipped- i am...

This conversion was not performed in NZ but here in America prior to shipment. I just confirmed with prior owner of vehicle who sold it 25 years back to buy a house. He noted the Triumph washer bottle that he installed and still has the other NZ license plate in his basement. Small world!

Lou- What type of wheels are those? YearOne? Looking for 18s as I think more tire options( taller) than 17"

Years ago, I Purchased a 67 Fairlane Convertible in Wimbledon White and Black Interior. Looked all stock and just like your grandpa would drive. Until you turned the key- Stroked 460 w C9 heads and c6 transmission and more. Sold it a few years later and still regret that- but it introduced me to...

Appreciate ALL of these responses and discussion of different real world experiences. My guess is that the first year will be a bit of a break in period for everything, so may wait until next winter for a swap.

As the build continues along with my insomnia, my attention is now about the current rear end set up and whether it should change and even be upgraded. Project Norma Jean is a 67 Charger with 383 stroked to 496 with TF240 heads and TF Roller cam(.600 lift). Tire size is 26", and have selected...

dave- might you recall what size disc? i am in process of a build with Wilwood 12"- i tried the 15x7 and the 17x 7 Wheel Vintique OE63 and both wheels would not clear. max- if I knew these would fit, I'd be interested. I'll see if i can find one wheel locally to test out. I have family near...

odd question- were you running discs behind these by chance? I have heard that the Police wheels will accommodate the disc while the standard steelie will not (something about the difference in conical shape?). How far from Kennet Square ?

personally- i think the market has peaked. Gone are the days of low interest loans for these cars that many would use as an occasional driver. Those with cash are waiting for other opportunities in the coming years. I'd say do it now before the inventory increases and downward pressure happens...

We have owned Airedales over the years and had a female that loved to hunt in the yard. Rabbits, squirrels, and skunks. First time she got sprayed she runs back in the house before we can figure out what is going on- the fresh smell is like burning plastic! she and the house reeked! A few years...

Jim-So sorry to hear that. Hoping that you and others (have clients that own property in Lahaina) are covered with adequate insurance. We were just there this Spring and to think of that entire area now gone is just heartbreaking on so many levels.

And another Rhody Welcome! and a first Gen too!
