Ops! I forgot to sign in on the last post.
Silly me.

I'm a couple hours south of you in Stratford! Collingwood is one of my favourite places to visit. Never see any old mopars sitting around though! Do you all keep hidden so I can't enjoy them too?!Haha! :thumleft:

Hello Guys
Iam new to this site and I own a 65 cuda with 273 commando Formula S model and Iam out ina town called Abbotsford B.C on the west coast. I hope some one out there or out here can help me find a 273 4 barrel intake and the commando valve covers for my ride. some one decided they needed them more than I do and took mine. so Iam on the hunt for replacements. all the best to you all in the new year :thumrigh:

Hello, welcome. I,m in Castlegar. I have a 68 340s notch that is pretty much done, still tweaking. My dash is in Van right now at CV platers. I purchased a 70 340 Swinger about 6 months ago but have not started to tear it down yet, no room.
As far as your parts go, check out Northern mopars web site (Calgary) They have a large buy and sell section, you may get lucky. I'll pass the word around our club also.
You will like the board, good bunch, lots of mopar knowledge.

Keep the posts coming, I sold my A body and now looking for another Mopar, Stratford is not that far away and sometimme we do not like to show off all of the mopars at once. LOL.

Hey guys, anyone here from Winnipeg Manitoba?

I am 45 mins north of Winnipeg, Manitoba.
Are you a member of local Mopar Club?

Dave from Smithville Ontario, (between Hamilton and Niagara Falls )1968 Fastback Barracuda 383. We have had this unit since 1985, boought it in Atlanta, actually traded a 340 6 pak intake for it.
There are lots of Mopars up around Collingwood. I remember going to a wrecking yard up there a number of years ago and there was a Superbird sitting in the parking lot. A fellow who worked at the yard was driving it. Also My uncle in Barrie has a 70 RR ,Lemon Twist Yellow that he bought brand new.Check out thie link below, it is a fellows 1969 Swinger from Collingwood. This guy grew up in Grimsby, I knew him, he had a few Darts then . Most were a little rough. But boy he sure did a sweet job fixing up this one. It's a beauty, Mod Top and all. I have seen this car at Moparfest. It is awesome.

Great group of fellow Mopar fans and great source of help. Check the schedule for the next meeting / ride or show and come on down.

John 67 DART GT CONV

Cool, thanks!

I'm in Ottawa too, '65 Formula S Barracuda. I've had it since 1999. It's originally a California car and pretty clean, but needs paint and some TLC. I just enjoy it too much to take it all apart!

Commando motor is missing, has a garden variety 273 in it right now, but a 1970 340 is on a stand in my garage in the works!

Still looking for a decent 8 3/4" small bolt pattern a-body rear end locally...anyone?

I've seen Pressedham's '68 Barracuda (at least I think I did, at the Evolution of Wheels event?) it's pretty nice. There is another one in Ottawa, but it's sitting in a field rotting....actually I think the owner finally moved it to a garage, but it's in need of a lot of stuff.

Hey 65s
Thanks for the comment. That was me at evolution of wheels.
I am totally hooked now.
Doing a 67 fastback now.
Were did you see
that cuda. Am in need of parts.

Yo...Victoria BC here. I have a 65 Canadian Valiant Custom 100 convertible (check the avatar) and a '67 Dart GT convertible (check the photo garage).

I''m in Edmonton, Alberta. I have a '68 Dart.

Cool...another Victoria boy...good on ya mate. :drinkers:

I'm new here. My 71 383 Demon is finished. Most of you guys can guess what it cost me, however I think my wife figured it out because she stopped using the term "you should get a hobby", we're both from south of Calgary Alta.

Nice wheels dude..looks really good.....Hobby??? Hope your over 45? (ya get more CAR time during that Menophause thing) You got the car ....Now your real fun begins. Who could ever think just polish alone could feed a dog for a year? And to think that rubbing that baby to shine like you got her takes more time then we drive them. I think "my" wife hates me now. The most reason is becouse it's hard to explain that "every" sunny day means Not the mother in-laws picnic, but just to motor.......Now thats the hard part.....God bless us MOPAR DUDES :notworth: HAVE FUN DUDE

Who you calling old, I'm not the one retired actually I will be in 2 years. As far as shine goes that's what 3 coats of clear gets you (kind of hard on the eyes in the sun). This puppy's my first A body but compared to the 3 B bodies I did in the past this things a hoot. Hell, the old lady even likes it until it sees a Mustang and the Demon comes alive. There is no better feeling than pulling up beside one of those tangs, a rumbling and a shaking, and blow it off. About then is when I get slapped by the misses but it's a good slap. I saw your ride on car domain and it looks really nice, you did a nice job. "Behold the business end"

That's a really nice mo-chine you have there demon seed. Congratulations on a job well done. :salut:

Halifax here! 71 Duster 400/727 :salut:

PressedHam: the '68 Barracuda has moved. The guy moved and took it with him, surprisingly! So after 25 years of sitting, he finally moved it. Don't know where it is now.

There's a guy about 1 hour past Montreal, Sylvain Gaucher (his dad was known as the Shark) who's got about 100 mopars for parts in his yard. He's got a nice blue 68, complete except for steering wheel (I'm surprised nobody has ever stripped this thing yet?). I saw it just about a month ago while I visited him for something else. My friend Tom bought an a-body torsion bar crossmember from him.

His email is: cuda71sg@hotmail.com

Just moved to Prince George BC from Sudbury Ont Summer 2005.

Hi guys. I live in Winnipeg, Manitoba. When I'm not shoveling snow, I like to work on Mopar restorations. I'm currently restoring a matching numbers 1970 Dart Swinger 340 that has lots of options including buckets, console, rally dash, and rally wheels. My cousin and I are restoring 5 Darts. I have a Dart Swinger restoration web site documenting my progress:

Hi Guy's Marvin here from Fredericton New Brunwick about two hours away from Coyote Jack. Working on building a 70 swinger with a 340 stroker combo, need lots of help too!

I would like top finds out how many on this site are from Canada?
What's your ride.

Still converting the rebuild.

Halifax NS here too. Grew up in Northern NS though. When I first got my Duster, it developed a bit of a reputation up that way. I can't wait to finish my 'mid life recapitalization' and take it back there for a cruise >:)

Anyway - nice to see a few bluenosers on here

Cheers

Wow, that looks similar to the 67 that I owned back in Ottawa, ON:

http://gallery.rennlist.com/albums/album579/Baa3.sized.jpg

The car is still there, I'm not. ;)

I have not seen a blue '67 Barracuda around here in Ottawa. Where is it?

Hello from Lion's Head. I know, where the H is that right? It's about 45 min north of Owen Sound, Ontario. Who plans on goin to Moparfest this year? I am pumped, I have been there the past 6 years but never had a car...TILL NOW!

I have not seen a blue '67 Barracuda around here in Ottawa. Where is it?

Good question! When I had the car, it suffered from an engine compartment fire which really just melted the fiberglass hood and torched the wiring harnesses. An easy fix but my insurance company wrote it off. An older guy in Ottawa bought it out of Arnprior Auto Wreckers and fixed it up with new wiring, the original steel hood (that I'd sold to Ian King out in Kemptville) and a set of fenderwell headers to help the 440 breathe. Gil said he saw it around town as recently as 2 years ago but didn't see it at all last summer. Perhaps it left town? Regardless, there's an RB powered B5 blue 67 fastback running around 'somewhere' assuming that it's not just resting in the current owner's garage or barn.

Hello from Clandeboye, Manitoba. 15 mins north of Selkirk.

My car is a 67 Dart GT Convertible, red/black.

John

Still have all my projects and most parts tho. I used to be a member of the MMA, but sadly, have been out for a few years. It's just too hard seeing all the nice vehicles and following along in the Caravan :). After house is done, I'll be back in the fold. I've the OKdokay to get my lil turbo car back on the road next year tho (thanks wifey). Cars currently owned include:

70 Swinger 340 4spd - FY1 / black
71 Duster 340 auto - GY3 / black
72 Demon 340 auto- TB3 / white
69 Cuda 440 - T7 / black
86 Laser XT 5spd - Flash Red / black

and my old 71 Dart 225 - EV2 (now for parts)

They are waiting patiently!

Grant here from Barrie Ontario, had this 1972 Plymouth Duster, looking for another one.

I've been in this forum for a nearly a month now and I just found this thread.
Nice to see that there's a few guys on here within 1/2hr drive for Baden.
Likely will see some of you at Moparfest in August.
Hell I can drive a golfball there from my place. (Maybe not, it's about 2 miles away). Hope I can drive the car this year.

and an other new dart lover from alberta....it's a '75 dart sport,360-727..with some nos:toothy10:

it's good to see how many a body lovers there are in canada

Hi all,
Gary here from Medicine Hat, AB. I own a 68 Barracuda Coupe that I am finally going to start restoring in two weeks. Have an appointment at the body shop to get it blasted. Will post pics in the forums to keep you all informed.

On another note I am leaning, no pun intended, to a slant six for power. Here is a pic of what I was thinking of.

Victoria BC here.

hey there fellow canadians.
just starting on my 69 340 4 gear swinger. orginal car
northren BC.

I guess I should post up here again since a) I've changed cities and b) I've bought a new a-body!

I'm back in the Nation's Capital again after 5 years of living on the west coast and just picked up a 72 Demon last week in Montreal. Here's a pic:

http://gallery.rennlist.com/albums/album669/IMG_2209_4.sized.jpg

It's just a slant six car (for now) but has only 17,000 miles on it. :)

Dave, would you mind me asking what you paid for your Demon?? I own a 71 340 with 48,000 original miles.

Dave, would you mind me asking what you paid for your Demon?? I own a 71 340 with 48,000 original miles.

$6500. I would add at least $10K to that for a 340 car! ;)

I can't believe I've been on here this long and missed this thread.

I have a 1970 340 Swinger. The car has been dormant for a while now, I couldn't get it started and the battery is now toast.

I need to A) get a new batt. and B) find a Mopar know it all guy to mentor me a little, I'm long on desire but short on practical experience. My previous hookup on car skills moved out of town and we didn't stay in touch, he actually moved back but I haven't talked to him since then.

I'm in London.

There is one more Dart in Winnipeg, a 68 GT to be exact, I bought it years ago in Woodlands and it has since been a "work in progress".

It was just a plain jain 68 GT 2dr HT 273, auto. I am converting it to big bolt pattern (disc brakes and 8 3/4 rear)

It is currently on a rotissery getting cleaned and new sheetmetal.
Lots of work to do yet.

I had planned on getting it done before I had kids, but that didn't happen!

I might post some pics later.

Hi!
I'm in Coombs B.C.,currently drive a '65 Valiant /6 225 and have a '68 Barracuda in the bodyshop getting new body and paint after having a hack job done some years back (..yeah I got ripped off).I will try to post some photos one of these days.

Trenton Ontario. This Is My 72/440/4 Speed Baby Its Hemi Orange /Bucket Seats.:burnout:

Howdee from Winnipeg, Manitoba......eh? American's like that "eh" stuff and it kind if sticks on us Canucks just like "how you all doing" does on a Texan. I'm doing a rotisserie restoration on a matching numbers 1970 Dart Swinger 340 with buckets, console, rally dash, power steering, and brakes. I just finished another one in banana yellow and sold it to my friend Jamie. Just last week he tried out a maximum top end run on a controlled race track and the 727 tranny blew some internal parts and shredded the case and siezed which caused the front drive shaft yoke to snap which caused the drive shaft to drop. Expenses were $150.00 for a tow truck, $1,600.00 on a new tranny, $25.00 for a drive shaft loop, and $6.00 on a pair of new underwear after the scare! Priceless!!!! :butthead:
Here are two pics of the car. I have a Dart Swinger restoration web site that show restoration pics and other stuff. www.mts.net/~hpokrant

Hartman.. I bumped into your car (not literally) about a month ago in the parking lot of the vendor on Pembina & Jubilee. Not sure if it was you, or your bud driving, but stopped for a quick hello. What caught my eye was that it is a restored version of one of my projects! Even snapped a couple of pics of it when it headed south down Dunkirk lol.. Really wanted to see it. Looked SWEET!

Grant

My wife was laughing when I showed her the pics I snapped from the van... and was even suprised I didn't follow the car home lol.. She was a beaut Hartman.

Grant

im seth, where to start, i live near Saskatoon i wont say exactly..no offense to anyone.. iv owned my Plymouth duster for 5 years now, it was a 225 super six, and now she houses a stock 383 4bbl from a 69 Newport, and only have approx 1000 miles on her since finishing it last spring.. some of you guys out there may be cringing but, these are my only wheels, and in my opinion its a car and it deserves to be driven...and hey it can always be rebuilt somewhere down the road in the future right?? i don't mean bagging it around everywhere but normal wear and tear.. i also understand why some of you guys restore cars and, drive them to a minimum,:angel11: but thats not my thing...:brave: hope you like21909

Hello, Enio here. I have a 70 Dart Swinger 340 that I just got on the road. Lovin it and cant wait for the spring of 2008. See some of you on the road I hope.

Great looking cars fellow Canucks. I own a 1969 Dart Swinger 340 4speed ,finished ground up resto last year put 1500 miles on last summer. I have owned this car since 1977

Hello Folks,
I am from south eastern Saskatchewan.
Unfortunately, I don't have any finished A Bodies to share with you.....only projects
Below is my numbers matching 1971 340 Duster,my wife's 1970 Duster / 6 auto(soon to be a 340 5 speed) on the rotisserie and my latest find, a 1972 340 4 speed Demon rolling chassis.The tor-red Duster will be the last one to work on. I'm committed to finishing the wife's Duster first. My wife said she can't remember asking for a Duster:scratch:.......She says by calling it "Her Duster" it's a guilt free way for me to have more than one A body, The Demon, she informs me, better be the last one!!!!!!!:sad:

:cheers:I would like top finds out how many on this site are from Canada?
What's your ride.

Red Deer, AB.

'69 Dart GT, originaly a /6 car. Now with a 360, and in need of a rear-end, preferably a nice 8"3/4, as it still has the 7"1/4. Its a bit of a heap, runs like crap... But i'm confident that i've got the skills to get er workin well for summer! Other then that, i do plan on painting it red, (no not the stock F5 or watever it is...) Just a nice viper red, or close to. That and a customized white bumblebee stripe.

Great Looking Dart. I am thinking about how I will eventually paint my Swinger, specifically the paint scheme on the hood and scoops. I was wondering if you could post a few more pics of your car, especially the hood area and back end. I really like the look you have on yours.
Thanks

i do, but i was looking on ebay and found a cool intake that takes 4 two barrel carbs, a little pricey, but would still be neat

Red Deer, AB.

'69 Dart GT, originaly a /6 car. Now with a 360, and in need of a rear-end, preferably a nice 8"3/4, as it still has the 7"1/4. Its a bit of a heap, runs like crap... But i'm confident that i've got the skills to get er workin well for summer! Other then that, i do plan on painting it red, (no not the stock F5 or watever it is...) Just a nice viper red, or close to. That and a customized white bumblebee stripe.

Well i'm hope to stay in the central alberta area, its still a lil up in the air. I really just wanna drive er this summer, so i prolly won't be doin anything soon. Well i was having some timing issues, but i got it all sorted out...its really odd that the timing mark is off...by like 40 degrees, but she sounds just fine, so i won't complain. All i have is an elecrical issue in the control cluster, and my speedo don't work. other than that... Shes a dream. lol

lol my timing was out by 40 deg too, but she ran really good there, when we put her back to the 5-7 degres advance she ran like crap, and needed to be advanced again...just watch for a pinging in your engine if its too advanced...i know a wreaker in saskatoon that has a ton of abod rears but their all 8 1/4 for 200 bucks however i looked for some lower gears llike 3.55 3.73 ect and all that they really had was realy high hiway gears in the 2's, you'll figure out ur bugs, i have wiring issues with my engine and its driving me up the wall...slowly figuring it out... youll figure your stuff out, oh btw i got my rear near brooks from flatlaw auto wreakers a couple years ago when i was still in strathmore, you can try there but if hes open still ittl prob be around 500 bucks...have fun and good luck

Im in Niagara Ontario, new to the whole Mopar thing. I just bought my car last fall. 68 Dart GTS 383, cant wait fot the snow to melt!!

I can't believe I've been on here this long and missed this thread.

I have a 1970 340 Swinger. The car has been dormant for a while now, I couldn't get it started and the battery is now toast.

I need to A) get a new batt. and B) find a Mopar know it all guy to mentor me a little, I'm long on desire but short on practical experience. My previous hookup on car skills moved out of town and we didn't stay in touch, he actually moved back but I haven't talked to him since then.

I'm in London.

I'm about 45 minutes away in Stratford. If I can ever help out, let me know.Between me and a couple other Mopar guys, we can get ya rollin'. Nice Swinger! My favourite year!

Great Looking Dart. I am thinking about how I will eventually paint my Swinger, specifically the paint scheme on the hood and scoops. I was wondering if you could post a few more pics of your car, especially the hood area and back end. I really like the look you have on yours.
Thanks

Which one are you talking about my lime green swinger or Rollie's black duster?

I'm In MAPLE RIDGE BC. new to this site, but I have to say...everyone rocks here. Canadian or amarican. thought I would say a hello to my fellow canucks.

anyone going to be doing any cruise ins or anything. I know A&W will have the Thursday night car shows again. Hope to make it out with my 440 duster this summer.

My first dodge was a 1973 dart sport 340 4spd. Bought it with a 360, but I found a 340 and put it in it. Here is its pic

and here is what I am currrently working on. 1970 duster 440 4spd posi :burnout:. I am HOPING to have the car completed for my wedding this July 2008. I have ran into some problems, but this site has really helped with that. hopefully I will have it running by mid to late aPril, then drivable no later than begining of June. I will still have to get it inspected because it is a US car. You can follow its completion under a forum called 1970 duster 440 4spd 8 3/4 posi.
I may need a hand here and there.
this is not a current pic of it. this is a pic of it on the trailer when I bought it. If you want to see more pics just go to the forum above.
