This car followed me home this last Sunday. It has a 400 CID 727 Torque Flight 8-1/4 rear end. My first Mopar back in 1981 was a 1973 Dodge Coronet 400 AT which was B5 blue and a white vinyl roof also. My Coronet had the 9-1/4 rear end though. I’ll have to post pictures of that in the forgotten B bodies thread. I wish this had the 9-1/4. I like the B5 blue and white vinyl roof but the vinyl roof and trim is going to go. I plan to make it a 1975 road runner clone. Most of the trim is dented and dinged up anyway. The body needs a lot of work. It also needs some mechanical work. My intention is to keep this a running drivable project as I go along as much as possible. It does run but needs a whole new exhaust system first. The manifolds were removed by the PO to replace the gaskets and were slapped on with just 2 bolts each just to see and hear it run. So the coolant runs right out of the exhaust manifold bolt holes from the head meaning I can’t run it long.
I’m hoping I can get some help from you all for support, parts, and mostly knowledge. I know Mopars pretty well but not very much about the 1976 B Body.
First up; titling and plates. I hope I don’t have any problems there. I read that horror story with that guy and his ’70 Satellite titling nightmare on another thread.
Then on to the exhaust.
I would have put this under member’s projects except the 1975 to 1979 years seem to be the forgotten years (read scorned). I figured I may get more support here. Your questions, comments, and advice is welcome.
