Hi, I saw your message in BaT and tried to reply with my email address but it seems BaT filters out any replies with an email address in the comments, probably to keep sellers from making side deals on their cars . I’ll send you a PM on here. Cheers.

Very cool, that’s pretty much exactly how I picture most big block A- bodies looking in the seventies and early eighties. It seems most of them became street/strip cars by the time they got to their second or third owner. I dig the license plate as well.

This one was definitely built FC7 top and bottom with a black stripe. No M21 drip rail mouldings on the tag, though.

Just saw this thread today and lots of interesting info here. I own the car that has its fender tag shown in post #3 so any info about these cars is great to know.

Friend of mine's neighbor had a Jeep Cherokee with the 4.0 engine that would randomly lose oil pressure then be ok again after shutting it off for awhile. It happened several times before he parked it then gave it to my friend as he bought something else. My friend tries it and same issue. I ask...

I'd say that the rust on there is fine for driving around, in fact it gives it character. It's only when there are holes you can put your fingers through that it should be repaired, IMO. Even though the body isn't perfect, it's still better than 99% of the other unrestored cars out there which...

Going by the trunk lid and dutchman panel,it looks like it sustained some serious hail damage or was attacked with a ball peen hammer.

D34 on the fender tag shows it was an automatic car originally and being that it's a 74 A-body,it would have had a 7 1/4 or 8 1/4 rear end. Someone likely had a 4 speed parts car and decided to have some fun with the family car.

Maybe there was a tie down device welded on for shipping the car? Just spit balling.

Man, I love seeing cars like this come out of the woodwork. I have a couple that were in similar condition and my philosophy is get them looking the way they were when they were parked or taken out of regular service back in the 70's or 80's. There are a ton of restored cars out there as well as...

I just pulled a 318/727 out of a similar unit and it came out the front with a lift plate bolted where the carb was and the arm of the engine as close as possible.I chopped the front lower crossmember out and it came out pretty much complete with exhaust manifolds,oil pan,starter,motor...

Man,you find some cool stuff.I love that FC7 Challenger convertible on the last page,awesome car. A friend of mine's older cousin got a similar one for a HS graduation gift in 71 only it was a hardtop. 340 4-speed,Plum Crazy,white stripes and a black interior.He pulled the bumpers,grille and...

He was part of the start up of Mopar Action.Before that he was writing for Cars Illustrated,both of these were in the late 80's IIRC.

Since it started up right from the get go,I'd assume that they prepped the motor before starting it but who knows what happened before the video started. That's an amazing find and personally I'd leave the Hemi in the Cuda since it's been in there since the car was practically new and was a big...
