Hello FBBO! I am new here but have owned MOPARS since I was 16, which is 31 years ago nowadays (I'm 47 years old for those of you that were told there would be no math :icon_winkle: ). I haven't been active in the hobby for about 10 years now but have been thinking about getting involved again for the past few years (I was out of the country from 2004-2008 and have been taking care of family matters and starting a new career since returning).
I have a 70 RR that's a little worse for wear that I've owned since i was 16/1981 and a 68 Coronet R/T Convert original drivetrain car. The RR now has a 70 440+6 motor that I got years ago from extras when i bought another RR, a limelight original 440+6 car. My 70 is a Rallye Red w/ black vinyl roof, back hood stripe, bucket seat, N96, tic-toc-tach, console, AM 8 track, deck lid/rear stripe delete, 383 car but the original 383 was long gone before i got it. The original owner said he blew it up before the warranty expired at 50K. He ordered it with the hemi suspension/3.91 gear ratio (A91/A31/32? can't recall my codes very well these days so i need to do a little studying) and it's a 4 Speed. The 4 Speed is matching numbers though and is shifted by that big crooked pistol grip.
The R/T i bought in approx 1999 with 84K on it. It's still under 89K now. The drivetrain has matching VIN #s. The car is red w/black convert top, and white buddy seat/bucket interior, and column shifted 727. It's a older paint job and needs refreshed but it looked good and ran even better before i went overseas (10 yrs ago now!). My dad used to start the cars every once in a while but they have been sitting since he passed and i just didn't feel like messing them for quite a while after that among other things. Both cars have been stored in a garage since 2003.
Well i hope i didn't ramble too much and I look forward to being a member of this community, reading and commenting occasionally.
Thanks for having me,
