Thanks. My understanding was the 318 took the place of the 273 in 67 so this "fact" in the book surprised me.

First off, was the 273 4 bbl still an option for the 68 Barracuda? I'll get back to that in a moment. I was given a book that was supposed to be authoritative on MOPARS: Quentin Wilson's Classic American Cars. On page 151, it has a picture of a 68 Charger...painted purple. R/T badging in the...

Who would you recommend other than Year One. I ordered a book from them last summer and shipping was almot as much as the book. My gosh, when you order a $22 book and it comes out to $43 with shipping...

At some of our ages, we, me included, used to pick around Mopars in junk yards years ago for this or that part...climbing over and in and out of cars I'd love to have to restore but didn't realize it back then. Now they are gone.

Thanks for all who have responded. The state finally released both my state and federal income tax refunds. Not much but they paid for the luxury tax (personal property tax on cars) of $1182, and the new water heater. The old one is about 20 years old and leaking so bad but she held on for two...

I still listen to Boston and it never gets old

The state appears to have ruled in my favor. They returned the income tax check refund they seized (it went to pay Missouri's "personal" property tax) and for the new water heater. But I got back the garnishment form one of the four checks. If this holds, I'll be back in business and bugging...

For all who have helped and been patient with me on this forum, thank you. I am still waiting for a final explanation from the State of Missouri on my case. My X left me back around 94 for her "lover" filing for divorce of course. She moved to Texas with the kids. The divorce agreement said...

What my X found out was, she could have asked for child support until the girls were 21 but she didn't (it was to get me not to fight her leaving Misssouri with them against my wishes...joint custody when she ran off were her girlfriend) and decided to go after me this past July. She filed with...

My X, unable to pay her mortgage on her 4800 square foot house decided to enlist me in paying her mortgage. Our divorce decree stated that I paid child support until the girls were 18. One is 21 and a half and the other turns 20 in March. So, she filed with Texas child services where she lives...

I saw that episode and those were my thoughts exactly. I don't trust "flippers" in the first place and was wondering, do these guys EVER build Mopars?

I heard and read similar pro's and cons. I joined the M1A forum and they spell it out. Certain factory parts, I can't remember what but it seemed to have something to do with the gas block, could be changed out for better ones sold through Brownells that will greatly improve its accuracy. I'm...

I'm in the older crowd but have been a Mopar guy since I was 16 when I was, well, in the younger crowd. My first Mopar was at age 19 and was my first car: 1963 Plymouth Valiant 4 door slant six push button auto. I'd give almost anything to have that car back. Since then, 66 Valiant 273, 68...

I ordered a Springfield M1A Scout Squad rifle back in March or April. Paid up in cash too. The FFL is a friend, super reliable,and really good at getting stuff. It is the 1st of September and I'm still waiting.

I found a salvage yard in Kansas that had only Chrysler products. I found a super bee clone. He wouldn't sell me the whole car but only as parts. We went round and round as the car was solid with little rust and the body was straight. I told him to figure out how much he would make selling the...

Yes, don't let anything happen to them. I suppose because Chrysler was number 3 way behind GM/Ford our cars are rarer and becoming more costly (I recently looked at prices for restored 67-69 Darts, wow) but the books too?

I have a full color Barracuda/Challenger book. I saw a similar Dart/Valiant book a couple of months ago on Amazon and finally got around to ordering it last week. Well, I almost did. Used it was $39 dollars and up. New? $109 bucks! Yes, I understand a book in high demand and out of print is...

I hesitated making this post as I didn't want my intent to be misinterpreted (and it wasn't). For the ladies, I know there are guys out there who are real dogs and do not take care of their families or responsibilities after the divorce and that is not me. I already went through losing my kids...

Like the mother of all head aches that keeps coming back, my ex-wife is after me again. She ran off with someone else in 1993 and while I lost the kids, the house, every dime I had, and learned Jerry Reed's "She got the goldmine" song by heart, she was on the way to buying 3 houses, countless...

I clicked on the email and brought it to their attention. It was actually my brother visiting from back east that caught it. He's a big Mopar guy too.

Hobby Lobby had a few Mopar metal signs but the one in the Bass Pro complex off I-70 had two specific displays of additional items, one for Chevy and one for Ford.

I was visiting a Hobby Lobby in Independence Missouri, part of the I-70 Bass Pro complex (a good place to go if you like stuff that is marked up really high) and visited a Hobby Lobby. They had a section of shelves set up for nostalgia signs, nick nacks, and tourist items for automobiles. All...

I don't feel so bad now. Some of you have been asked crazier stuff than I've encountered. How could anyone confuse a Nova for a Mopar??? Asking someone how much they have in a car and they don't even know you? Wow. I am definitely resemble the recipient of questions about how many Zombie guns I...

Your point was proven tonight. A man I know, a mechanic for Goodyear, asked me the dumb questions I posted. Not a lady, a guy! So, with apologies, I retract assigning such questions to ladies and rephrase it to "people." Guess you are right.

My apologies to the ladies but these questions come mostly from your sex. When I lived in California, I had a 66 Sport Fury, 68 Barracuda, 66 Valiant Convertible and people would ask, "What are you going to do with all those cars?" I realized that the use of the word "all" meant this was a...

I have accidentally run into a yellow jacket, bumble bee, and ground wasp/hornet nest over the past number of years usually working on the yard. I am alergic, but not the life threatening level, so I go on hunts for them in late fall/early spring. I find their nests, kill them, their siblings...
