My heart is still with Chevy

[M454BGS]

Hi guys,
I´ve been Chevyman from late 80´s but my two brothers and brother-in-law are Moparmen. I sold my last Chevy 10 years ago because my son was so afraid of hard loud sound cars and I had not time and interest to do anything with it.
On the other hand, my two brothers have owned -70 Monaco for more than 20 years but it was negledled badly and left for it´s own under the tree. It´s body rot very badly over the years and nobody wanted to fix it. Only good thing there was 440, TF727+ 8 3/4 3.23 posi 489. Done trans and engine with high low end tq.
Fortunately, I´m familiar with Mopar engines and trans´s, thanks to my brothers and other friends.
The final nail in the coffin was when my son told me he has found the body for Monaco´s powertrain: -74 Coronet
So, that´s why I´m here -74 Coronet, 440,727,489. I try get use to it

Welcome aboard.... sometimes it takes a while when you ascend into a better place. ( but, I gotta ask you... would you introduce yourself to your new girlfriend by telling her you're still in love with your ex-wife ? ) Nevertheless... happy to have you with the best cars and the best people in the automobile world !

Since when did Mopar ever install "posi's" on their cars????

Unfortunately, you need some serious learning on differentials!!!!!

Replace “posi” in your vocabulary with “sure-grip”.

There’s your first lesson - and it’s free lol

Late 80´s to early 90´s we were poor country boys with some f*g US-cars. All the others some freaks around us made nogo-tunnelram-highdegcams. We try to make some decent lowrpmtq+lowmlg cars for drinking beer

Welcome. My whole Family are GM freaks and retired employees and also with a few FoMoCo retired employees. I help work on most of my friends with Chevrolets, Fords, Amc's, Buick's and Olds etc. However, I am the only Mopar fanatic in my family, but a couple of my kids are coming around also.

Welcome to the site!!

Welcome: That car actually looks pretty cool. I could see lowering it a bit, make it handler. Sort of an upgraded Police Interceptor if you will.

I was also a Chevy man in the 1980's. Tried and true. I still own some newer Chevys but always wanted a 1969 charger.

The guys here don't seem to care what you had. A great group!

I am always amazed how much Europeans love classic American cars. Many of us, such as myself, know nothing about classic cars in Europe.
