New member from Oklahoma

[John Milner]

Hi everyone, I'm a new member from Duncan, Oklahoma. I'm 33 but have been into cars my whole life. I bought my 1st car for $500 when I was 14 (1974 Pontiac GTO, which I still own). I've fixed up several old Pontiacs, Chevrolets and other hot rods over the years. My dad fixed up a 1970 Charger R/T 440 4 speed in the 90's. That car was sold around 2004, right before Charger prices really took off. I got the bug to fix up a Charger myself about 5 years ago. I found a '68 and started fixing it up. It was pretty rough but it was affordable for me at $3,000. The car was really nothing special as far as options. There was no engine/transmission when I bought it. It is not a true R/T but I can't afford one of those so this one will have to do. I built a 9.5:1 440 for the car, 23 spline 4 speed and 3:91 sure grip. I did everything to the car myself except for the paint, which my brother laid down. The car is not perfect but it's a fun driver that I don't have a lot of money tied up into. My next project is this '69 Road Runner. It is a true 4 speed Road Runner. The original engine was gone when I got it. I built a 9.75:1 440 for it. It will also have a 23 spline 4 speed and it has a 3:55 sure grip. It will go back the factory red. Look forward to learning more about these cars on the forum.

Welcome from to FBBO from Nebraska. Recall seeing you over on the PY forum and remember you having a 68 Charger, looks like an awesome car. I am Jay S over there on PY. You will find my twin brother Curious yellow 71 here and post’s more here than me, but we are both big time mopar guys. We have a few dozen MOPARS. Look forward to seeing your adventures with Mopar’s...

Great looking Charger! Road Runner looks like a great project too.
