Any Colorado A-Body owners?

I am in Fort Collins and have a 75 Duster project underway. I am always looking for parts and local Mopar owners. So if there are any Colorado Mopar owners out there give a shout out.

Joe O.

Hey Joe,
I live in southwest Denver and I know there are a few others out here in the rare air.

Scott what do you mean by part cars? You looking for parts for your dart are you looking to buy parts cars?

I am looking for parts for my project. Seems like all the salvage yards around are picked clean!

Good to hear you all are out there. I agree .. the salvage yards are picked clean. Been looking for a 8.75 limited slip rearend for my Duster but no luck so far.

have you looked at the yards out 94 east of colorado springs.

There's a pretty good-sized junkyard up here east of I-25/exit 235 (CO52). You can see it to the right as you approach the exit going north. Haven't been there in over a year, but they had quite a few Mopars last time I was there. Most of the good stuff gone, though. Maybey just sheetmetal, cores and oddball stuff still available.

If you would like to join us jut bring a unwrapped toy and you are good to go. My Cell is (970)420-5260 for more info.We also do a car show in Septembers with the Wyoming club.
I drive a 1970 light blue d100 sweptline and have a premiered 1970 440 duster that I brake out once in a while and cruse collage!

Green WEDGE: I participated in the Sept 2004 and 2005 show at the Budweiser plant - you guys have some VERY,VERY NICE Mopars! Nice people too! That was an excellent venue - I hope it's back there in 2008. Sorry the club is not as active as it was - I noticed the web site is seriously in need of updating. What can I do to help??

1badDodge71 - Thanks for the nice comment! It's getting it's engine compartment detailed over the winter to get ready for 2008 show season. Should look almost like the day it left the factory when I'm done!

Thanks scamp80602! That was a good car show guys kind of show! I mean we didn't get a lot of people stopping and looking at the cars so Garry move that show in to Fort Collins. But it was a good end of the year show just for us, (The car show guys)!
I am trying to get it back out to the bud plant this year!!

I'm in little Monument, I've got a 1970 Duster that's a surprisingly clean survivor (old lady in California was its owner for the majority of its life). It's a 318 auto car, and it's a faded scratched gold color. I would like to meet up with some more people around the Springs some time and get some info on some shows around there. I recently took a trip up to Arvada to meet a guy from moparchat.com, there are a lot of Mopar guys up north!

Nice, I'll see if I can make it. I wanted to go to Mopars at Thunder Mountain this year too but was out of the country on vacation when it happened.

I like Bill at Wizard Machine in Golden. (303) 279-7785

I'm in Boulder with a 71 Demon and some friends who are big mopar freaks. We own 2 71 Demons a 74 Duster and a 75 Duster.

I've been collecting a bodies parts out of junkyard a bodies and have lots of different trim stuff.

My last junkyard find is a 70 Duster in a Greeley junkyard (U pull it type). It might be still there but it's only a /6. I left the junkyard leaving some good parts still on it. (two weeks ago)

Thanks guys.

hey dudes, i'm in westminster just joined.. good to find other a body owners local

Hi all! Working on a 66 barracuda. Out went the 6cyl. and in is going a 300hp (approx.) 360 with a 727. How about after the first of the year, the people in and close to Denver get together and meet?

i'd be up for that........how about the rest of u???

sounds good!

Could be done.

I'm in Littleton & would be up for a local meet'n'greet!

By the way, Bob Kerbs has done a lot of nice work for me, including the new roof on my Dart!

One of you local guys should buy my project, I ran out of money and hope. Good Co. title, Unibody and all related sheet metal in 2 coats primer ready for paint, complete Alterkation included. I have 8K in body prep and 4K in the Alterkation, I'll take 6K for it.
Shoot it with your color choice and start switching out parts off your rust bucket and you"ll be driving a restored Dart by Spring.
Screaming deal for someone, you know how quick you can drop thousands just on bodywork. Also includes new hood hinges and door hinges.

Its ater the first of the year you guys still up for a get together of some kind?

There is a bunch of Mopar lovers that will be meeting at 715pm in Arvada tomorrow, the 7th. The address is 8555 W 57th Ave, all are welcome.

Roos, how bout a little more warning. :toothy10::toothy10::toothy10:

Sooo who is it that is meeting?

I would have except I saw people discussing meeting yesterday for the first time.

Just the car club I am in, Colorado Mopar, always could use new members.

Its ater the first of the year you guys still up for a get together of some kind?

i am, lets plan it!!!!!
higgs

Im up for about anything. Just wish it would warm up so I can finish wiring my car. We could wait and get together at Mopars at thunder mountain. Thats May 15th so alittle ways out there.

A get together would be fine. I say we wait a while until it warms up a little and have less snow. Ideas on where to meet?




You might feel old when you go to McDonald's and they ask you if you need help with your tray.

Hey all, I am fairly new to owning a Mopar, but grew up around them so I decided to throw myself into one! Picked up what I felt was a pretty clean '73 Duster - 318 mild build, 3 speed manual, no frills car with a little old-school flare.

Looking forward to spending some time on this forum learning some things!

Welcome to the site from someone a little to the east of you. Looks to be a nice Duster, plans?

Looks to be a nice Duster, plans?


Thanks! Not real sure at this point other than to get it running/driving better. Needs the front end rebuilt, a better carb than the spread-bore Q-jet that's on it now and some hotter spark. My uncle used to play with Mopars exclusively in his youth and wants to put 9:1 or 10:1 pistons in this 318 to liven it up a bit since it's got a mild cam in it already.

Anyone here know of any threads about budget build recipes for 318's?

After that, I'll be on the continual search for black interior parts, and then doing it up 340 tribute style...... just can't seem to come up with a color I like more than others......

Oh..... and get rid of the hideous wheels that are on it and put some big-n-little cop car wheels with dog dishes on it....... :D

Welcome! Nice duster! I built a 318 for my 66 that runs pretty good, and it is pretty basic. Only thing is, 318's are a little short on low end torque, and the altitude makes it even worse. If you can get the compression up a little from stock it helps. The "302" heads are a great start with smaller chambers.

Welcome from up north here in Longmont. We built a 318 for my son's 70 Duster, stock bore, KB pistons to up the compression, magnum heads and a mild cam. Runs pretty good, just need to swap the rear to something a little stronger.

Checkin' in from Lyons, CO here.

I"m driving/restoring a 68 Dart 270.

I"d definately be up for a meet and greet of some kind. Didn't realize we had so many colorado folks here.

My most recent project on the car, is to get these wheels on for real. This pic is a photochop. But the wheels and tires are in the garage, and i'm doing my BBP conversion right now.
Should look like thise for real in a couple weeks.

Hi all, here in Colorado Springs with a 66 Valiant 2 door Signet w/273 2bbl. Daily driver.

Joe, In Windsor with a 67 Dart GT in the middle of a rebuild. I have some spare drive train parts and some other parts that I will be getting rid of as I get done.

I have also been looking for an 8 3/4 with no luck, that is unless you have some big bucks.

Im from falcon, co building a 72 dart.

Chris,

Are you still in the Mopar 727/904 tranny profession with your Auto shop? We get through there from time to time from New Mexico. I run 904 trannies in both my 69' and 70' Darts and want to learn about them. I see folks using the 904 for racing, so am interested. I know of the 727's history.

i just saw it myself.... falcon CO ...
