I learned about and joined this forum this past August. I have always been a diehard Mopar fan from way back. I started my Mopar addiction with a '70 340 Duster (good choice eh?) That lead to many more over the years - '68 Charger, 69 Road Runner, 69 Fury Police Interceptor to name a few.
Life got in the way and sadly these cars were sold back when they weren't worth much. Through all of this though, my Dad bought a new '71 Charger for his daily driver. He held onto it to this day. At 89 years old, he doesn't drive anymore so I've ended up with another Mopar.
My dad kept all paperwork on the car so I have the original window sticker, vehicle buyer's order etc. It's a WL21 8 Cyl. (318) 2 door coupe. I'm not sure how many of these came with a three-on-the-tree, but this one is so equipped. We've added a few things over the years such as bucket seats to replace the bench. I have the parts to convert to power steering and a rallye dash, but those have not been done yet. Drivetrain is all original, the 318 has never been unscrewed (other than valve cover gaskets.) It was a Michigan daily driver for many years so it is far from perfect, but it still has all the original floorboards and trunk floor and the torsion bar body anchors are still good. A few pics...
