A buddy is thinking of selling me a 67 barracuda notchback. I haven't seen the car in decades. I recall it needed a fender and things were a little beat up. What body and interior parts are really hard to find? And what do they cost for used stuff? For example, used trunk lids usually go...

This will be a longer post. Sorry, but I am doing some searching. I'm looking for a fair season car with a V8 that will get 20 MPG or so. I've sold all my A bodies, and I have considered a Fox stang, and done some research into the F body Camaro's (Yes, I know this is a Mopar site...)...

Hello, I am likely going to be building a budget pre 73 A body with a V8. The car currently has a /6 and an automatic and is complete. I have parted several 73-76 A body's and a few trucks etc. I have most all of the linkage etc. from all of them. I also have a 72 v8 with manifolds...

Hello, I was out and about yesterday and stumbled across a pretty decent 1972 Scamp. Car is pretty solid, but will need some work for sure. I tend to buy anything Mopar that I can afford (cheap) but I have never really looked at a Scamp before. I am digging it for sure. He has alot of...

I thought I would share some thoughts. My students and I have built a 440 Dart Sport off and on for the past 3 years. It is a relative budget build. It started fairly easy actually. It has some exhaust but no mufflers on it yet. We started it in the shop and then took it off the...

I have come across a 78 Dodge Motorhome with a 440 in it. It appears to be complete mechanically and is unmolested under the hood. It is a big ugly thing, but is complete. Working on a price, but it will be cheap. Approximately what do Motorhome 440's and 727's go for? It does not...

I am getting rid of a lot of my stuff. I have a set of serviceable 974 castings with the J on them. They aren't worth much, but I don't want to give them away either. They look fine, no rust. Just came off an engine I got years ago. The block was a 71-74 360. About what are really good...

Hello, I generally know my Duster values. However I do not pay much attention to pre-73's. I have come across a 71 that has supposedly been garaged for all or at least most of its life. It is gold and has a /6. It runs but has been sitting for awhile. Let's just say that I have lived...

Hello, I have been slowly building a 440 A body for the past several years. It is a 1974 Dodge Dart Sport. It has taken awhile to get to where I am due to life etc. that we all go though. I did get in an honest 5-6 hours yesterday and I got alot done. I could possibly drive it next...

Hello, I have several of the chrome, remote drivers side mirrors. These are the non-rally style I guess. They are not the more pointed ones, more flat in style. Decent condition, complete and working. What is the real world value of these? ROB

I have a 73 Duster in the classifieds that I have been attempting to sell. There is a local guy that wants the interior for his car. He wants a white interior and his is black. We have traded parts before and we may again. Approximately what are the following parts worth? I am asking...

Hello, I am attempting to reduce my "collection" of cars and Jeeps etc. A guy comes to me and wants to trade a fairly nice truck even though I am not looking for one now. Here is the truck: It is a 99 Dodge SLT 4x4 1500. It has the 318, 5-speed and is pretty clean with 120K on the...

I am going through all of my cars and parts and getting rid of alot of stuff. I usually put in my ads something about mopar trades. Anything to get rid of what I do not need and move towards something I do. Anyways, a guy says he has a 66 Barracuda with a /6 and auto. It is in...

I wanted to share with you all my new find. I brought it home a couple of days ago. Really wishing I could find an A body this clean. It has some old lady dings here and there. I already pushed the one out. No rust, and has 87K on it. It is a 1978. After I get my BBD Sport done I am...

Hello, I am doing some soul searching right now and contemplating selling some cars. Here is what I have on hand: 1974 D/S Project car. Currently working on it to finish and enjoy for the summer etc. 1973 D/S roller shell. Straight, rust free and maybe somewhat "rare". I have never...

Hello, I am gathering what is needed to finish off my 440 Car and I am really thinking of upgrading to an 8.75. I have a 4.10 geared, Sure-Grip A body 8.25 now, and I think it will hold. That being said, I may end up with some bigger wheels later, and the added width, plus strength of...

Hello All, Currently I have a 74 Dart Sport that is real solid. It is for sale, but realistically it isn't likely to sell in this economy etc. And truthfully I would rather not sell. I have found a local 74 Hang 10 Dart Sport. It needs some help, etc. but it is closer to what I...

I am heading up to Portland next weekend and I'm curious as to what events or cruises there may be to attend. I am attending Mopars at Woodburn event on Sunday of course. It was my understanding that there was some type of Cruise at another time. Thanks for any ideas. ROB

OK.......here we go. I need a bit of a kick to get moving in a direction here with my car project. I am building a 440 Dart Sport. The car is gold with a black interior. It is pretty nice for what it is, no rust, pretty straight. I have the suspension done, subframe connectors in and a...

Hello All, I was wondering if anyone has built a budget street rod type of car. I'm a shop teacher and have been building cars with my kids for years. We are currently in the middle of building a Jeep. In the spring we are finishing our 440 Dart so that is good. I'm looking at the...

I was out visiting a friend picking up a car today and he says that he would sell this Dart to me. It is a 1969 car, V8, 3-speed on the tree. He said that if he removed the 8 3/4" rear he would sell me the car for $500.00. Now, there is more to the story. It has no engine, trans...

Hello All, I have been somewhat absent lately, at least compared to summertime. I have sold the SB car and have now decided to build a 440 Dart which is progressing as we speak. It is likely going to be a more of a cruiser with some zing to it. The engine is a low-compression 440...

I'm curious as to what most of you are using for parts cleaning solution. I need to do some light duty cleaning. I may install it in my parts cleaner, but I am not sure at this point. Generally smaller stuff like wheel bearings, etc. What are the chemicals that you use? Thanks, ROB

I have started on my project car which is a 74 Dart Sport. I am needing a lot of little stuff as I work on it. Who would you recommend for parts? I know some have a better rep than others. I'm looking at things like the following: body plugs weatherstripping- a few pieces Trim...

I have been a member for close to a year now and have learned alot. Between here, reading alot and some wrenching I feel pretty good about getting started. Here's the deal. I am using it for an educational tool, that is coincidentally my car when I am done. I have done this for years...

Hello, I have been asking a million questions as time has gone on here trying to come up with a workable combination for my "needs"! I have been debating between BB and SB now for a couple of months. I was contemplating running my 440 with fenderwells in my A body along with my 4.10...

Hello, I teach auto shop etc. and we have a car that we are dismantling for parts and learning etc. It is a 79 2 door Volare with a 318. It runs good and I may use the engine (factory 4-barrel 318) in one of my A bodies. The rear is a 7 1/4". It has the aluminum master cylinder which I...

I am a fairly seasoned 4x4 guy but I have come across a few truck parts that I can get and interchange. I have come across a pair of axles out of a 74 Dodge 4x4 non-fulltime. the rear is an 8 3/4. The front does not matter at this point. He is willing to throw in an 8 1/4 with 3.55's out...

I have seen some guages that had a large blue "M" on the face. I can't remember where? I am looking into getting some new guages for at least the OP and h20. Does any one have any idea where to get these? Thank you for your time, ROB

I just yesterday purchased my first V8 Duster and I am quite excited about it. I have been collecting parts here and there for some time now. What I was wondering, was is there a website that has a sequential build-up of an A body from stock to fairly quick? Something where they provide a...
