Hello from classiccarjack

[Classiccarjack]

Hello everyone, I live outside of San Diego. I own 3 A bodies. A 1968 Cuda 383 4 speed Formula S(technically my wife's car), my 1969 Valiant 100 slant six 4 Bbl with a OD 4 speed, and a 1970 Duster. The Cuda I bought for my lovely wife and I am going to restore it for her. The Duster I bought to make a Father-Son project with adding a 340 4 speed set up. My Valiant is mine all mine! Nobody gets my baby! Muhahaha! Thanks for allowing me to come on board!

Forgive the dust and cobwebs, I just pulled my car out of storage from 2 years ago. I have decided to bring it back to life again....

Welcome aboard. I was a Navy electronics tech, fixed GCA RADAR at NAS Miramar from 70-74. Had a few friends down there then, a couple down in Paradise Hills area, at least one of which is gone, now

Inland Mopars – Mopar Car Club of the Inland Empire, SoCal

That was a great show! I met a couple of people with cars I built. The previous owners sold the cars and I had no idea who bought them until that day.

Thanks... We live on a horse ranch. Hard to keep the dust off...

The air cleaner is from a 1973 340 'Cuda I used to own.

Very cool! I love the slant!

 

[Classiccarjack]

Very cool! I love the slant!

Thanks... Other than slant sixes, I have a Hemi fetish... I have small blocks and big blocks too. But that slant, which I can't seem to kill, has held up for 26 years now! Can't complain one bit! Tough engines...

It's always good to make new friends. I just wish I didn't work so much.

I am working on that... I own a company that has me working a lot of overtime... sigh

I need more time to play with my cars.

A lot of my friends love that Valiant. I have had a lot of cool adventures in it. Worn out 3 speedometers so far... LOL

Sounds like you need to have a good long conversation with the boss, lol.

 

[NoCar340]

I understand the love of the Valiant. My Mopar gameplan was all planned out and rolling along smoothly until a '69 Valiant Signet coupe popped up locally, dirt cheap. "OK, so now I have three cars... no biggie." Then a friend decided he would sell his solid '68 Valiant coupe: Western car, also inexpensive. I couldn't stop myself. Now I'm in negotiations for a '70 Swinger 340!

These A-bodies... they get into your blood.

Welcome aboard!
