Far North Mopar

[Canuck340]

Finally took the plunge. Said goodbye to the 69 Firebird and bought myself a duster. Always been a Chevy guy but the sight of the car in the back of a Northern Canadian garage was too much! Hasn’t seen the road for a bit so amazing to find this forum and look forward to all the info that’s here. Looking forward to new world of mopar...any info on what these numbers mean would be cool...thanks all.
