Just checking in to say hi. My first car was a 1962 plymouth valiant in 1976. But left the world of mopar for a miriad of fords, chevys, and amc cars over the years. Took a hiatus from old cars for the last 15 years until this week when I got a 1967 charger. Lots to do. So let the games begin!
About the car. My sons purchased from a widow as a birthday present for me. How bout that! Widow said 318 had been replaced with a late model 440. Engine stamp puts it in the 1975-78 range so probably from a rv. Cheap paint job but nice 10 footer. Once I get it off the ground and pull the interior I'll go searching for rust. Generally clean but then again it has full undercoating so... Sounds good but runs slow. Oil seeping everywhere. Horn, turn signals, lights, wipers, and voltage work. Gas, rpm, speedo, oil not so much. Found this forum researching those wonderful headlights. Will hit some shows the next few weeks while I make a plan on where to start. Hope to meet some mopar aficionados to steer me in the right direction. Hate guessing and then spending double due to mistakes. Look forward to getting to know you guys.
