Canadian Mopars on the street.

Why Hibernate ?? Had mine out for a rip on dec 31 ! This week, weather is finally coming around.. I take it for short jaunts whenever the roads are dry ! No more garage, so mine enjoys the cold and the snow as much as I do LOL.

Here it is back on the street and ready to cruise! I got my suspension upgrade done, my A/C install 1/2 done but it's ready to make a mile.

here's the new stance for our 70 SS after a complete rebuild of the front end, rear end and had a alignment. Front is now 26 inchs to the wheel lip, quite happy with the way it turned out, drives like a dream now. The old guy that did the alignment at our Ford dealer is into Mopars, I gave him the new specs to use for modern radial tires and he did a fantastic job.

I don't know if it's a familiar car to you as I only got it this past April/May.
Car is originally from out West (B.C) as I'm on the East Coast. (Montreal)
Have had a few mopars thru the yrs but I must confess this had been my best street driven car to date. Won't be as much fun next yr, on account of the rear end gears as I have highway gears (en masse, lol) so I'm getting/got a lot of highway driving done as the car ran well all summer, especially in traffic no heat issues at all.
I drove from Montreal, Quebec. To Ottawa, Ontario ..... Because I but lost lol only problem I had was the gas lol but considering the amount of driving I did I wasn't surprised. Overall it's an awesome daily driver if I wanted I use it everyday to go to work and back and forth during the week but every few days I give it rest as it gets a little too loud for my old....er neighbors lol
Take Care.

Hey Fez
I just saw you are from B.C.....did you know the guys that owned the car before me ?
Or are you the guy I spoke to once before we took the heads off and was given some fellows name who knew a little about the car, cause the original owner couldn't recall about the engine ?
If so the car is still the same only wheels have been changed. Heads and cam.
Actually the carbs needed to be retuned as the were not set up properly and the timing was really off with who ever tuned it (to run a six pack) I have a new peg that will be installed now over the winter as I will be going in for hip replacement in the next 10 days and will be out of commission for a spell but after that...all that I want left to be done to the car (plumbing also under the intake for the juice) shall. Be finished.
I'm really happy with the car I just wished I knew a little more about the car's history but that's ok also...
Thanks.

Yeh I'm from bc. I just knew of the car when it was in enderby. I didn't know the owner personally but know who built it. I never thought those rims looked good on it. What does it look like now with different rims ?

Hey I'm sorry I didn't reply back ...i hadn't seen your post.
As for the rims, along with hood were a eye sore for me, mind you more than a handful of friends liked them, I just couldn't digest them.
The car is now put away for the winter but come spring time I will show you how it will look with the new rims and S.S. HEMI SCOOP..
The paint will have been changed as well. No black on roof top and trunk. Complete Hemi orange with a blackened hood and fenders front end.
That's all that I will be doing to the body exterior. Calvert suspension, no SS springs either.
