Hello to all of the folks here who I haven't met yet and also a big hello to those of you that I know either from other Mopar web sites or know personally!
My name is Richard and my screen name is
thebankerstoy. I live in "sunny", ok, HOT Phoenix Arizona and I am retired from the banking business after 33 years of service. I have been a HUGE Mopar enthusiast for over 25 years now and before that, in my youth, I also owned some very interesting Ford and Chevy muscle cars.
My current group of Mopar's include my 1966 Coronet 500 2 door hardtop, powered by a 1969 hp 440, along with a full manually shifted 727 automatic transmission and an 8.75 rear end with 3.91 gears and a Sure-Grip, which my wife and I have owned since 1989. We also own a 1999 Ram 1500 Sport Quad Cab short bed that we bought brand new in April 1999, which I have had some custom paint and suspension work done shortly after we bought it. I am also half owner with my brother-in-law on a 1970 Cuda race car project that we purchased back in 1979. Last but not least, is the 1972 Dart Swinger that some friends and I restored in 2005-2006 for my son after buying it for his first car back in 2003 with only 58 thousands miles on it.
Currently, I'm getting ready to do a complete interior restoration on my 66 Coronet, which will take it back to a much more factory look and will include changing it's current black and yellow color scheme, to the pearl white and black that was offered on these cars in 1966. EVERY interior part will be either NOS, new, or restored and I will also be restoring the cars factory installed power windows and air conditioning systems, along with replacing all of the cars wiring and looking over all of the electrical system parts and pieces. .
Thanks for allowing me to join such a cool web site that lets everyone express their thoughts and ideas on the awesome B-Body cars we love so much! I am looking forward to meeting lots of new friends here!
