In reference to your pic, are you having the top redone or are you having it painted over?
I will admit, I kind of liked the red with the black top.
I think I'm going to leave the vinyl roof off my car when I restore it, but even so, after seeing your avatar pic several times, I liked the look of your car.
As for the various V8s, I know that I have seen far more 318s out there for sale, and that my local junkyard even has some nice examples in several old Ram pickups, but I know the main reason I am going to eventually upgrade my 318 is because I want my car to be faster, and I bought it with intentions of having either a 440 or a Hemi powered Dart when it was "done".
(I say "done" because no car I own is ever done!)
