I just realized I have a 440 that is pretty close too. It has a date of 8/4/69. The 383 is 3/18/70. The 440 could be a bit early but the 383 is about 2 months prior to the cars scheduled build date.
It has been a long time since I looked here too! The only thing I've done for the 71 is collect parts. The most recent was side scoops, hood scoops and a set of Magnums. Man these look good on Challengers!
I agree that it takes a lot of time and effort to dismantle a car. I have done a few A-body 4 doors for parts for my projects. Heck, even that shell took hours to cut apart and salvage parts off of. But for me, the hardest part is giving the car "the kiss of death"! I hate to decide that they...
Yes, trust me I've considered it. But I am a guy that loves to do rust repair and give things a new chance at life. This car will go as one I hope. It will be for a decent dollar, as you said, I could sum the parts up. But I also could use all this stuff in my 71! Problem, I need a white...
Then someone had hacked in a ball stud for a 4 speed. That section had to be repaired as well. The car now sits on solid rails, excluding the rear spring mount area that is swollen like all Challengers.
Then the passenger side rear rail had rotted out on the drop down to the front. It's weird how cars rust. Some parts are shot on one car and fine on another. This an example of that. The parts shell had the driver side toast!
Hi gentlemen, and ladies. I've been away for a while. Plans have changed. I decided to dig into this car and make it solid. I am going to move it on soon and it would be a tough sell with all the frame work that was needed. So, I got a parts shell and salvaged some parts off of it. Then I...
This thread just popped up on FABO. You never know
FOUND 70 340
"Howdy! Went to check out some A body and other misc Mopar fun today. Guy had a few 340s, some big blocks, a 67 Dart GT 383 among other cool stuff. One 340 is believed to be from a 70 Cuda around the Buffalo area. The story goes...
I believe the front rails along with the inner fenders are the same on 71-2 B-bodies as our Challengers. Is the firewall, rad support etc interchangeable as well? Also are the rear rails compatible? I'm asking because I have an excellent parts car here for my 70 and I want to know what I can...
Well I haven't been here for a while and to read this right off the bat brings things to a "real" mode. I came to check in on cars, parts, builds and stories. With all the storms that have hit you guys lately it should make those of us who aren't in these areas appreciate the things we sometimes...
