So when one of our boats were laid up for repairs, in dry dock after it was all done the ship had to go on sea trials to get the CC certificate
I took the 69 out on its first sea trial after converting it to a 4 speed.
All I can say is WOW, im really excited to drive it
You guys were right on, its like a different car
It performed well, although I was only driving around the block, roads were dry but still snow everywhere.
Im feeling like its 1970 driving that car, shifting a 4 speed again
Cannot wait until spring
Did I say I was excited, LOL
Thanks to a member here who rebuilt my 8 3/4 and my 4 speed.
He did a great job
Thanks to everyone who advised me
 
Bentley and I were at a local show a couple of years ago... I don't think I ever have heard it before about my 67, but that day 3 different times, 3 different "20ish" woman were looking at my car and said" What a huge boat".... LOL.. Sea Trials, I guess I can relate......

Joe is that a wired haired terrier ?
 
Can’t wait to see the burnout video, Steve! Congratulations.
 
Hope you enjoy it :thumbsup:
I, someday, would love to put a 5 speed in my charger. Having had a ‘70 super bee 383 4 speed and a ‘68 gtx 440 4 speed, going to an automatic was a disappointment. I just miss stirring the gears.
