I would say 65. Which would be fair if it’s restored as well as it appears. Incredibly nice car.

Usually, people complain that a car is under (poorly ) restored. Not too often one complains it’s over restored. Honest evaluation though. Price is key here. All of these cars are incredibly expensive. There are no bargains pertaining to any of them. High package, high restoration. Equals big...

You’re exactly correct. Of course cooler air makes a carbureted engine run a lot better. Especially today, with ethanol fuel that boils at much lower temperatures than gasoline prior to ethanol. But, a hood scoop doesn’t change the temperatures of intake air when the car is moving at any...

We are talking about a 350 hp stock / street performance engine. It being a 383 or 440. If someone thinks you’re going to magically increase hp on a 350hp stock engine by only adding a hood scoop. That someone is lost. In reference to cooler air. That’s a gimmick too on a stock engine. When a...

You’re arguing a point that has no relation to what I said. You’re talking about high performance aftermarket cars. When I clearly referenced stock performance street cars. If your looking for an arguement. At least read, what I said.

There is no performance gain. All scoops are gimmicks. They are installed for cosmetic upgrades. They are no different than exterior trim being added. Same goes for 6 pack air grabber hoods. These devices were designed as a cosmetic feature or performance gimmick. I like them on cars that have...

To my surprise, I just think he was out of touch.

I felt like sharing this. A lot of you may have experienced something similar. On a drive today, I pull up to a stop light. It was not a typical 4 way intersection. As I’m sitting there, a guy that appeared to be his late 50’s/ early 60’s approaches me from the other direction in a tow truck. He...

Those of you that come across any of these cars, in any shape are lucky or work extremely hard at it. You can’t find anything, any make or model sitting around here that’s older than 30 years old. For miles and miles.

I look at it that way too. I think realistically. I will never receive 100k, let alone 250k. But, of course I’d want a orange 69 Hemi Charger if I had that kind of money to throw around. Realistically, I recently have been growing fond of the 66-67 Chargers. A 66-67 440 Charger is more...

A lot of cars are not worth the reality of saving. You explained this reality. Sounds like, you need to accept it. To me, a car that is not realistically restorable isn’t worth a couple grand. Let alone what people try to get for some of these cars. Otherwise, they would have been long gone...

Along the lines of customizing the stripe. A stripe that looks normal white in day light and glow white in the dark would be cool. It would have to be a normal looking white in the day. For it to be nice.

To me, the stripe looks bad *** on any B body Dodge. Regardless, of it being correct or not. It’s very symbolic to a 68-70 Dodge. Having said that. Due to the color of your car. I like it, as is. Only thing I would change is a classic muscle type wheel. I despise modern looking wheels on a...

Thank you. I might resort to buying an aftermarket one. Mine is not that bad. Just the upper right hand corner clip hole is torn. I asked for help, because this is one aftermarket item I never came across. Without looking myself. Is that surface extremely flat extending to all clip points ? So a...

Oh, thank you. That’s very reasonable.

If you’re suggesting a roll of rubber roofing. That roll is probably a 2-3 hundred dollars ?

Does anyone sell those rubber flap covers that’s on the driver side front wheel well ? You know the one you remove to have access to the upper control arm cam bolts when aligning your car ? Mines has a slight tear in it from age and someone tugging on it to remove it. Anyone sell them new ?

My opinion. The car is worth buying for 15k with only intentions of possibly making several grand or using those parts for another restoration. You could sell any remaining parts and it might pay for 3/4 of what you payed for this car. If someone could fetch it for that price it’s worth it...

Where did you get that jack/lift/stand ? That would be perfect for me. Nevermind, I found them on ebay. That would be ideal for a home garage. But, they appear too small ? I’d be pretty skittish under one of those. What’s needed for it to operate ? Plug it into an electrical cord for the...

Not knowing what the frame looks like back there. I agree. It’s going to cost at least 10k for paint. Let’s say, a fair price for the car ends up being 20k. There’s 30-35 right there. Having done nothing to the damage. I see a complete repair of at least 50-60 k. Not worth it in my eyes. Not...
