    Walter P. Chrysler Museum to remain intact but closed to public

    That would have been my only reason for visiting Detroit.

    The Superbird Wing Was Not "Idiotically-Ineffective" or "Dumb"

    I did wind tunnel testing at Grumman Aerospace. I came across the actual wind tunnel report for the Superbird some time ago. I have not seen one for the Daytona. I seem to remember that the test was conducted in a wind tunnel at a Southern university. Yes, they did a great amount of testing...

    76 C-body as daily driver

    I have a '67 New Yorker that I plan to build for Interstate Highway cruising. It has a 440/727 trans, but I don't yet know which rear end gears; I'm hoping for 323 or better. The 440 provides plenty of torque and I want to increase it in the 2,000 RPM range. These are ideas I will keep in...

    Kill joys

    People need to mind their own business if you aren't bothering them. It's like the losers that complain when your grass gets a little tall.

    Good luck down the road. BTW, wasn't the coyote always falling off cliffs or blowing himself up?

    3.23 gears now available new..

    I just noticed a write-up/ad in one of the recent Mopar mags. That is my favorit big block street gear ratio.

    Fun Spoiler Idea

    I remember reading the wind tunnel test report that Chrysler did for the Superbird/Daytona wings. Practical down-force actually began at about 60 m.p.h. The real secret of the wing was actually the verticals, which performed as the vertical stabilizer on airplanes - great lateral stability...

    lost a part last night

    Back in the late '70s, we were piled in one of my buds' car one evening around sunset. We were heading east on the Long Island Expressway burning a rope and cranking the tunes. At some point some of us became aware of a light shining into the left side windows. WTF? Our eyes soon became...

    Cannonball Run MOPAR STYLE!! (or at least to get one)

    Keep and ear or eye on national weather reports. Our winter storms this year have been coming across from Washington/Oregon and southern California. The Low pressure systems tend to dip southward in the middle of the country before moving northeast in the eastern third. Bad weather can come...

    Thank you...Stuck...to UNSTUCK!!!

    Congratulations. Hope to see it running soon. I had success freeing a frozen engine with a homegrown concoction of Trichlorethane, Marvel Mystery Oil, Liquid Wrench, and a little motor oil. The reasoning to use Trichlor was to make a fluid light enough to penetrate around the piston rings...

    1968 Barracuda sold for $167,750 at the Dallas Auction

    Here's one: http://www.mecum.com/auctions/lot_detail.cfm?LOT_ID=FL0111-103147&entryRow=141 I seem to recall that a restored, virtually unmolested, BO29 sold for a quarter million bucks a year or two ago; it might have been at BJ. I believe it was retired from racing early on in its life and...

    Going to Butler PA, Know of any Junkyards in the area?

    I haven't been in that area for many years, but George Romero filmed Night of the Living Dead there.

    Old cop cars!

    We got to learn the headlights and parking lights on the early '70s C-bodies that the Suffolk County, NY cops used back in the day. It gave us enough time to ditch the brewskis when we were hanging out down by the LI Sound. When I was in college in Daytona Beach in the early '70s, I gassed up...

    Buying my first MOPAR...

    Don't forget to check the torsion bar cross-members. They tend to rust in the "salt belt."

    manhours for front suspension rebuild?

    Call your local Mopar dealership service department. They should still have the man-hours needed per job on file.

    Who is BS'ing who?

    When I was in college during the "fuel crisis" of the early 1970s, I drove from Daytona Beach, FL back to home on LI. I-95 was not yet complete and the gas stations on the new parts of the interstate were few and far between in the Carolinas at that time. There was a concern that not many of...

    Mopars w/Big Daddy Don Garlits

    Damn! I'll be passing by there on a business trip on the previous weekend. Might stop into the museum again, though.

    ... I think there's a corvette motor in my cuda.

    Two things immediately jumped out in the picture: the shape of the valve covers and the distributor in front. Definitely MOPAR. But I'm late on this one.
