Good morning from Oklahoma.
Lifelong MOPAR kid. First car was a '73 Charger. Since then I've owned a '70 and a '68 Charger as well. The '68 was the last one and my biggest regret in terms of cars I've let go. Spent a couple years bringing her back to life and then sold her off when I was going through some life changes.
That was over 25 years ago. Since then, I've raised a family and I'm getting the itch again. A buddy dumped an opportunity in my lap and I'm thinking of taking on a project. I have the opportunity to purchase a pretty complete and unmolested 1971 340 Road Runner. A/C , buckets, automatic console car. She's all there except for a complete engine. It does have correct period block, heads, intake and crank along with a complete marine 340 to sweeten the deal. It will all require freshening up and/or restoration to even get it to street status.
It's been awhile, and prices for everything look to be through the roof since the last time I did this, but at the same time information is much easier to come by thanks to the internet! I built my last one off of manuals, books, and magazines lol.
Looking forward to soaking in the wealth of knowledge here.
