That Crown package roof is a sort of precursor to the later "boat tail" design language on the M body Lebaron coupes. Mine's a 79.
Okay... they were actually concurrent, but I think the Doba Crown did come first.
If you're still interested in "unconventional" wheel/tire sizes...
Here's a (not great) pic showing 265/60 16s on 16x8s w 4.75" bs on the back. The front has 235/60s on 15x7s, 4.5" bs... but I should have gone 245mm. In this picture the rear ride height is 1" to 1.5" lower than normal... I had...
Congratulations on the decision to stagger the wheel diameter...perfect sizes.
I've always had a thing for dark wheels, but I'm over the "murdered-out" look...definitely the bottom.
Welcome back toolguy. I've been "away" for a little bit too...not so's anybody would notice. Glad to hear you've still got that beautiful Cordoba and that you've found some time to work on it, make some passes, AND lose 100(!) lbs, not to mention a marathon(!). Dang...you HAVE been bizzy.
I always thought the purpose behind lowering the car over the engine/trans/K was that the engine already bolted to the K. Why do you wait until the engine/trans are in place to install the K frame, Sixpactogo?
Steve from Staten Island is a New Yorker. Bad roads, bad traffic, and prohibitively high garage/storage/parking rates. If NYC wanted you to have a car, Steve, Bloomberg would have issued you one.
Move to the 'burbs, man. Maybe NJ or CT. I don't know how anybody can get anything meaningful...
If you continue reading the thread you'll see that the Mr Rogers/Capt Kangaroo stories get discredited and that PFC Marvin was wounded at Saipan, not Iwo Jima. Semper Fi.
To fill in some blanks here: an 8.75" rear will have a drop out center section, like a Ford 9". If you have no bolts on the rear end cover as viewed from the back, you have an 8.75" rear. Somewhere on it should be a small aluminium tag with the gear ratio. Sometimes these get lost but you can...
I'd heard awhile back that Stockton Wheel was out of business too. But I was on thier website just a week or so ago so apparently the rumors of thier death have been greatly exaggerated.
Okay, you don't have to be a 100 point resto stickler to see that the red Dart is tacky as Hell. If the bad flame job and ill-fitting wheels weren't enough to sway you, how bout the targa top, weird hood scoop and late model deck lid spoiler? It may have been built out of two piles of crap, so...
How does an idea like that even get into someone's head? It would never occur to me to mate a late 70s Firebird nose onto, well...anything really. But a 60s Dart!? That's just weird.
The 14x10 Cragars are especially bitchin'.
There's a whole subsect of cop car afficianados, especially MOPAR cop cars. That thing would probably sell better on eBay. Dude never mentions whether or not its "real", so its most likely not...just someone's idea of what to do with that 4-door Satellite that they picked up on the cheap...
At $29,500 it seems like such a bargain compared to, oh, say a New Mustang GT, Challenger, or C5 Vette.
I've got a paper bag full of Carroll Shelby's super secret chili spices...very rare...I'll start the bidding at $5000...
When I was an OTR driver I would drive my pickup 4 miles to the terminal, let it sit for 5 days while I was on the road, then drive it 4 miles home. A grand total of about 500 mi per year give or take.
Body is fair...'cept fer rust and dents.
A/C doesn't work, but the dash controls do.
Lenses are all there, but cracked and taped.
Doesn't really want to sell, but there's an ad on Craigslist asking 3G.
Tires hold air, but are all flat (okay, I just made that last one up). Is the sellers name Steve?
