Hey...I've been to your town to visit Wildcat Auto wrecking. Nice looking town, plenty of green grass and trees there. Welcome to the site.

I don't know much about other brands of cars but with many Mopars, you'll have parts on them that are ONE YEAR ONLY and it sucks. Engines, transmissions, axles, brakes and suspension cross over many years but stuff like body panels, emblems, sometimes interior pieces can be hard to find if they...

To all those that seem to we SO willing to adore the man, I would LOVE to see how they feel if THEY find themselves on the receiving end. There are several stories of slow service, dead ends, his arrogance at car shows as mentioned before, etc. Outside of that, he seems to have been a vital...

Just guessing but from what I read of how Daytonas were built, they pulled the seats from the cars and set them as side in a pile. Some cars got finished as Daytonas and they just grabbed seats that matched the build code, nobody looked nor cared about build sheets. Years later, restorers...

Did that really happen? If so, that just isn't right no matter how you look at it.

If I met the guy and he was cool, I’d have no problem with him. Maybe the stories of the long delays in completing work was related to his staff? I’d you have a service that gets so busy that you need outside help, you’re only as good as your team.

Those manifolds look like 6.1 or the 6.4/392 car manifolds.

I saw this car in Van Nuys 2022 at the Spring Fling.

Uhhh, 230 GROSS, certainly not net.

I agree. It was entirely accidental. I was trying to emphasize that he isn't some legendary hero, just a man. I did go back and edit the sentence. I have no personal experience with the man so I'd have no cause to be so vindictive. I do apologize for any hurt feelings that I may have caused.

Well, if all of the rumors are lies, I'd be the first to apologize and play nice. It is not my habit to lie or to burn someone at the stake if they are without fault. That isn't right. I am aware of the asset that he has been to the hobby so I think it would be a great thing to have him here. If...

I didn't expect this to be such a brown nosing thread. You guys realize that he can't walk on water, right? Yeah, the OP made a career documenting rare cars but it isn't as if he did it for free. He was paid for his work, as he should be. Nobody should have to work for free. He wrote and sold...

The exterior pictures look like any American built Dart.

Welcome to the site. Consider attending a meeting of the Capital City Mopars car club. We meet on the first Tuesday of every month at the California Auto Museum on Front Street in Sacramento.

Thanks for the kind words. The 5 speed continues to be one of the best things I did to make this car more fun to drive.

1973-1976 will fit. In the case of the Plymouth models, the 1976 fender used a different style antenna which made the hole in the fender slightly different. I'm not sure if the Dart models had the same change. Regardless, the fender bolts in place just the same.

I liked most of this post but you made a mistake.... A car will not UNDERsteer with a rear sway bar only. It will OVERsteer. UNDERsteer is a condition where the front of the car wants to lose traction and run wide on turns instead of gripping and turning as desired. OVERsteer is where the rear...

In sold and gave away the parts I had for those cars!

"Add" ? Are you selling this car? It is an interesting model. It looks like a Valiant from the front and a Dart from the back!

Oh no.....Sorry for the loss of your friend. That had to be a heartbreaking thing to go through. Welcome to the site. I'm also a member of FBBO with this same screen name.

Uhh...... "Have you pushed it, more then driven it?" No, I haven't owned a Ford since a Maverick was given to me in 1992.

???? Hot? Yeah.....but the humidity is tolerable. August 16 2020. I can deal with temps like this much better than the cold. It rarely snows there and if it does, it doesn't stay long. Welcome to the site! I'm down the road about 45 minutes to an hour from you. I have a friend that lives...

Hello ! It is good to see that we have some more European members! I'll bet your cars get a lot of attention there, right? Welcome and good luck!

I see posts from guys with plain Jane cars and 4 doors. I don't see any rude or unfair treatment to them.

Where would you get this idea?

All A -body lower ball joints use the same size stud since all the lower control arms fit from 1960-76.

The modules could be some type of distributor spark retard or delay. That metal relay may be related to the seat belt system. In 1974, the feds mandated a seat belt/starter interlock system where the car would NOT start if weight was detected in the front seats without having the seat belts...

Welcome to the site, Tanker. The '75 models had all sorts of worthless emission stuff on it that you will not need. The floor pan has a hump to clear the catalytic converter too. These cars are still essentially similar to the 70/71 models and many parts can be swapped around. Good luck.

Sounds like the kind of people that I'd like to kick in the ***.

I sure have....IN regards to American production. The Australian stuff is so unique and unusual, I like pretty much everything that I have seen.
