    Just found a 68 Formula S 383 Cuda. What's it worth?

    That was the first thing I looked for was the manifolds but didn't see them. The owner wasn't there so I didn't get a chance to ask him. I know they are expensive as hell. I know it would be a spendy build. Good thing I do it all so that will cut costs. Yea I though 13 was way high. Just a cool...

    Just found a 68 Formula S 383 Cuda. What's it worth?

    So I was cruising around my home town and found a 383 formula S cuda in a field that's a solid car. Somebody put fenderwell headers on it but aside from that it's an all original 4 speed car. The guy is asking 13k which I think is a bit steep but for a car with 0 rust that's all there I guess it...

    What wheels are you running?

    I'm digging those on that car. Was it extra bullshit to get those in the small bolt pattern? Seems like everything else is. Curious where you got them. Perfect replacement for my ralleys.

    A little more on the Hellcat...

    The only thing that kills the hellcat is traction! With all that torque it's a bit sketchy. I myself am digging the new charger hellcat. I think the new body style kicks *** and top speed of 202 mph! Holly ****, that will get the kids to school in a hurry......and a cloud of smoke. Lol

    A little more on the Hellcat...

    They already chassis dynoed it at over 680hp at the wheels which superceeds the 707hp rating they gave it.

    What wheels are you running?

    Tell you what, if you decide to part with those let me know. I need them for my hardtop strip car. I just ordered a set of forgeline's for my convertible that I got to design 1 off. Not cheap but nobody else has them.

    $7000 paint job

    I do all my paint and body work and can honestly say I'm seasoned. I'd be more than happy to share my knowledge to help some local guys get their hands on a gun and teach them the proper way to get a nice paint job at their own hand. I know first hand living in norcal everything is expensive so...

    Does this count?

    It stays parked right next to my loaded pistol��. ��

    Does this count?

    A few shots out at the hanger.

    Does this count?

    Better find a international harvester because that's the rear end that they put in the Tigers to hold up to the torque. I scattered an Alpine rear end when I put a SVO Mustang turbo 4 banger in it. It was a blast until that sucker scattered everywhere! That's a steal for 250 bucks! You could...

    Does this count?

    Chrysler **** canned Rootes because the 273 was too wide to fit between fender wells as well as firewall without bashing the **** out of it further. Kinda hard to sell a British car with a ford V8 at a Chrysler dealership.

    Does this count?

    I have a 65 MK1 Tiger and I had a series 5 67 Alpine. Chrysler bought Rootes in late 66 and added the penastar in 67 on the Alpine and the very limited production MK2 Tigers. I've been playing with sunbeams my whole life. MK1 Tigers and Early Alpines also had round corner doors and hoods but...

    Mini trucks,engine swaps....

    A buddy and I built a V8 luv truck 10 years back. Flared the fenders and put a 150 shot on it. It was a fun little bastard to drive and dirt cheap to build. That's chevy for you.

    Burnouts and insurance?

    My exhibition of speed ticket was 760.00 and 2 points on my record. The same as reckless driving and I lost my license for 6 months. Not good getting caught. Burnout away from people or make sure there is no chance cops are present.

    Paint shop Jail...Looking forward to release date.

    Yea very little attention to detail was given by the factory to what the engine compartment looked like but I'm like most guys, I like it to look like an extention of the body. Hope it works out for you after all the bullshit you have gone through.

    The Scariest 'Factory Stocker'

    Yea don't see many drag tigers but there were a few in the 70's that did real well. Problem as with most small drag cars, anglia etc, was of course wheelbase. I wouldn't dream about cutting mine up to make a drag car but I have ran it a couple times on street tires but couldn't hook at all and...

    The Scariest 'Factory Stocker'

    I know it's not a mopar but my Sunbeam Tiger has always scared me no matter how long it's been in the family. Try Dana 44 with 13" wheels and now 400 hp 289 with close ratio top loader. All of the performance parts on the car are vintage LAT ( losangeles tigers ) options.

    Paint shop Jail...Looking forward to release date.

    Very well said. Only thing I can't do on my cars is service the A/C other than that I would rather do it myself so I don't have the headache of dealing with a shop.

    Look what started

    Man I don't know how you guys do it in the Midwest and east coast. It was 85 here a few days ago. I'm hoping to get my Dart back on the road by the end of this month. I fired it up about a week ago uncorked. Nothing like that sound to piss off the neighbors.

    My old '68 GT Dart on Craigslist

    Man, this goes to show, first off if you say you've done a bunch of chit to a car don't show old pictures, and if they are old pictures at least have pictures of it washed!! Damn

    Would this be a deal breaker?

    Yea once you start digging I have a feeling that car is going to be a nightmare. Of course it could be done. Price out all the necessary sheet metal you will need from AMD and see where you are at, at that point. For 5,500 he's real proud of that car. If it had the original 340 then yea it would...

    Durango and your opinions needed

    Don't know about Mercedes in dodge clothing but the 5.9 dakota and Durango both suffered from tranny issues. Just put a tranny in my brothers 01 RT 100k miles. Aside from that they are good rides. Just make sure it wasn't used as a primary tow vehical. Good way to check is to see if there was an...

    Let's See Your Vintage Speed Parts!

    Where did you find the base manifold for that? Man that would be wicked on my dart! What you asking for it?

    Need prayers for my Hero

    I've seen firsthand as I'm sure 90 percent of the members have the effects of cancer on loved ones. Just lost an uncle to cancer about 2 years ago and it couldn't have happened to a nicer guy. Never fails that people who aren't proactive in taking care of themselves are the ones that end up...

    Biuld worth-stock/clone vs protouring $$

    If it were me I would just build a nice driver with a healthy motor and leave it as sort of a blank canvas for the next buyer who may want to build it to his taste. Then you can concentrate on spending that three grand where it counts. I have 30k in my 65 convertible and it's not done. And I do...

    2014 Diesel 1500 Ram wins MT truck of the year

    Where it's going to pay is while towing. My 05 ram cummins 4wd made it towing 6k lbs from nor cal to Vegas on one tank of fuel. If that was a hemi you would have filled up 21/2 times. That's where diesels shine. Everyday driving not so much.

    Let there be.........TRAILER WENCH LOL

    You need to tie that front C channel to the tongue or you're going to bend the **** out of it first heavy pull. TRUST me I've been a TRAILER fabricator for the past 15 years. I was trying to embellish my words like you do when you answer somebody. How'd i do? Lol. And that style tilt that you...

    That has the Baja lite package upgrade for serious off-roading, or looking like a UFO either or.

    Match Race 1972 ~ 'Road Runner/GTX 440' vs. 'Buick GS 455'

    I raced a bone stock GS at a car show in my 4 speed dart with 340 probably 10 years back at a car show/drags. We both had trouble hooking but when he did he immediately pulled me 1 1/2 car lengths but by 1/8th mile I slowly reeled him in but he still got me by a fender. They have grunt and legs...
