Nice to see, but I must say I think your over 100k is a mighty, mighty big stretch now 6 or 7 years ago I think you would have got it but now not so much, I recently saw a restored documented 70 FM3 panther pink Hemicuda at mecum auto auction and it would not even break 100k!!!! Economy is a...
Guy's after finding a 69 Charger a few months back I have decided to sell my Challenger, first off let me say this car is a 1972 that I converted everything to 1971 (quarters were changed) also I have owned this car since 1997 and it came from California when I got it, it is SOLID no rot!!! Im...
Yeah remove the 73-74 bumper fillers and move brackets back as burdar said, and I would for now just paint the whole grille black except the leading edges (would have been the stainless headlight buckets on 70-71)
and when you get up the funds change the grille and rear tail panel to a 70! Car...
If your looking for a E-body in that condition with factory options such as those listed you better break out the checkbook and drain the account! Good luck in your quest!:D
Or, Just swap a 1970-71 Grille in it :D and do a rear tailpanel conversion,
Ive done this before and even swapped the sidemarker lights from 72-74 to the 70-71 It's really not that hard (IMO but im a autobody tech) on the front fenders you have to spot weld the 70-71 headlight buckets into the...
Man, good luck on the sale! If I won the lottery I would buy it! Good color combo and would be a solid investment with the options I like it! (and im not a red car kinda guy!)
You can have a blown head gasket and not get any coolant in the oil if it blows between the steel compression ring between a coolant port, what happens it will pump hot combustion gases into the coolant and it will overheat pretty quick, you won't have any smoke or muddy anti-freeze, I have seen...
What engine?? small block I would run a 650 electric choke, they are super easy to rebuild (a monkey could do it!) rebuild kits can be bought anywhere, If its a big block I would run a 750 electric choke. Also you might have to re-route your fuel line, I would go ahead and throw a new fuel...
First year of Chrysler electronic ignition was 1972, I would rebuild that carb (if you can find parts!) or better yet if its a driver put a Edelbrock on it, sounds to me like you have a accelerator pump issue from the way you talk about pressing the pedal and "missing/hesitation" common problems...
Im building a 451 Stroker for my Challenger I already had a couple 400's and 440's so I took a Steel forged 440 crank out and found my best 400 block, I always loved the 440 but a 440 is some 60 lbs. heavier than a 400 the B engine isnt as tall as a RB so you have added strength and less...
Is the car electronic ign. or points? Sounds to me like it has a fuel problem like it's almost flooded? when you start it make sure the throttle plates are fully open (foot to the floor!) see if it makes any difference, my 72 Dart has a crap (IMO) Holley 650 and I have to pump the everliving...
