Cawley, I'm heartbroke to hear of the loss of your dad. The '62 is beautiful and I'm sure he would have been proud to have seen it done the way you have.

So you're saying I'll still be bored with 600? LOL. :poke:

Horsepower for performance enthusiasts is a lot like the analogy of the frog in a pot of warm water. You don't even notice the increases when they're gradual. 500+ HP in my Barracuda and Duster feels really tame to me.

I have to admit that the 'overkill' comment some make irks me too. The way I see it, there are a lot of different ways someone can build a car. Some want tame daily drivers. Some want economy. Some want street/strip cars. Some want to go totally ape-**** wild. It'd be a really...

I agree that there's far more demand for a streetable gear ratio and that it'd sell faster with something between a 3.23 to a 4.10. All it takes is one person looking for the 4.56s to get you a sale though. As far as amount to value it, the lower you price it the quicker it will sell. I don't...

The mods look good. I'm one of those guys that still feels it looks very Neon-ish though. I guess Chrysler believes that continuity of model names will draw in previous owners of those models. I'm not saying it's not a cool little car but I think some of the car models names have become...

That's a relief!

I don't suppose you could dig up pictures of the car before you took it to him. I'd definitely be concentrating my attention to any areas he reworked.

I just read through the whole thread and I sure understand why you want to get the word out about the shop that did the work. 50K??? I know some shops around here that will bleed guys for all they're worth but the honest shops try to overestimate costs so that the customer knows in advance...

4-speed cars are almost always bringing more $$ around here. - But as Roy said, a lot of variables could effect a sale. Not to offend anybody but a 340 garners more respect than a 318 and originality could be a factor too.

VERY COOL! Congrats!

I'd like to see what you came up with too.

:thumbsup::thumbsup:

That IS sweet!

Glad to hear that things are starting to calm down. I thought about chiming in earlier to report that I'd seen a lot of rust on our MSD reluctors but decided to avoid mixing words with some of the angrier commenters. I felt empathy for you Roy but also thought the seller might have honestly...

If you measure everything you might be able to order one from a source like MSC Industrial Supply. Grommets - MSCDirect.com

- And if the present owner wasn't knowledgeable enough he (or she) wouldn't try to argue to save his car in that scenario.

So if the core #s correspond to the dash VIN #s and the title but didn't match the speaker tray I wouldn't be too concerned. The O.P. had said it had been used as a drag car in a previous life. There's a good chance that speaker tray may have needed replacing if it was cut for roll bar...

Maybe I've misunderstood some of what I've read but it sounds as though the core support stampings looked funny to the O.P. because the characters weren't lined up evenly. My experience with old Mopars is that this is not unusual and is not necessarily a sign of tampering. He didn't say that...

It goes against my better judgement to say it but... - nice Camaro.

I've seen a number of package shelves replaced because a previous owner had butchered speaker holes in them. It wouldn't be highly unusual.

The car looks pretty nice. I assume the O.P. thought so or he wouldn't have bought it. But it sounds as if the buyer's 2 main concerns are whether or not the car is stolen and the fact it's not numbers matching. We each have criteria we use when we purchase a car. In today's world a...

I think the inspection here cost $10. We were worried that something would turn up screwy and that we'd be forced to go through the courts with the dealer, but as I said - all turned out OK.

For what it's worth: My son had bought a '68 Chevelle from a car dealer here in Nebraska. The dealer had picked it up at a car auction in Kansas. The car had been owned by someone in South Dakota at the time of the auction. - Sounds confusing already. To top it off, the dealer said he...

One thing that will catch my eye is a set of injection stacks. I love stock and modified cars so I'm not inferring that one choice is better than another but there is nothing more impressive to me than an old school Hemi. - Even a 1st gen 331, 354, or 392.

I love them both. Even though I own a Duster I'd probably choose boxy style on anything other than Dusters or Demons. - So if I ever do get a Dart...

Sweet!

A 'RAMBLESEAT'? I never realized anyone had ever thought about bringing back a rumbleseat since the 30s.

Cal Custom chrome feet pedal covers. Long shackles for the leaf spring cars. Button-tucked, diamond tuck, and tuck & roll interiors. Gold Moroso (sometimes also anodized blue or red) or M/T valve covers.

Don't forget the wild colored fake fur on the package shelf. Wide tires that stuck out beyond the wheel wells. Aftermarket small diameter dished 3 spoke chrome steering wheels (sometimes with metalflake or made from chain). bobbing head dogs on the package shelf. Fiberglass...
