Yeah: Price was cheap too and the car was complete. I'm not a flipper at all but maybe I should have bought it and flipped it to someone who would have done it justice. Anyway I know if buy a 383 car it'll stay a 383 going forward. They deserve a lot of respect on their own merit.
A guy local to me tried selling a 63 S.F. 361 (Canada) 4 speed ragtop. I had a hard time resisting that car and maybe shouldn't have passed on it. I would have built it mostly stock and cruised it all over the place.
I really like your idea. I was always a 440 or Hemi guy but as these cars get older I find you don't go out street racing every car you line up with at a traffic light. One of my pet peeves is every 383 Road Runner somehow has to have a 440 swapped into it, no reason for it. Great plan on your car.
A friend of mine called me a month ago, He was prepared to go the big buck route but I advised him to head to his local glass shop. He took my advise and had it within a week at a working man's price.
Location is always a problem. Lot's of times I have sold cars and had a hard time because of where I am and I see much worse cars go for much more in other locations and it is pretty frustrating. I think where you are located that people take an old car in good condition for granted and people...
Back when you could find these cars for $50. Found a used narrowed D60, built my own subframe connectors. Car eventually went 10's without too much work.
My feeling is that Mopar powertrains are part of what makes them great. If you had some sort of GM car with a wimpy 10 or even 12 bolt in it I can see swapping in a 9 inch and that's why they are the go to option in the Hot Rodding world.
However Mopar made good rearends including the 8 3/4, 9...
My personal preference is the Polara trim. They really look slabsided without it, very plain. Okay for a sedan but not a hardtop IMO. And a lot of welding and chance of warpage as already voiced. Sorry can't resist the photo, not what you asked though. The 440 was an early racecar I built and...
You'll need gears and a suregrip, might as well get something a bit narrower as well so you can maximize your tire size. S60 is looking pretty good for the money. Not sure what look you're going for but on my 64 I narrowed a Dana 60 to 68 SS-A-body specs and period 15X10 Torque Thrusts fit like...
