Hello.... Hooray.. Again!

Hi Guys... I did join a long time ago. I was in the U K then..... But times have changed and so have circumstances.

Since moving to Canada, times have been lean! The A100 had to go, and replaced with a more door 64 Fury...... Then the need for a normal family car meant that he to go as well..... That left me Moparless...... A few years on, we had a spare $2000. Not enough to get a half decent Mopar.... And although I could of got a rough one, I knew the pitfalls that came with it.

So began an attempt and flipping to get what I wanted.... Starting with an unfinished 1979 C10 for 2000 bucks, a year of hard work and a couple of hundred bucks saw a return of $4500.... Not bad, but still not quite enough for what I wanted.... I put $600 back in the bank And bought a 4 door 63 falcon..... Sorted that out over the summer.... And found someone that was desperate for it..... The good news is, he had a 73 duster he had owned from new!... And he wanted to do a straight trade.

So there you have it, a couple of years of hard work, and 1400 buck got me a totally rust free and original A body Mopar...

Ok it is nowhere near the cars I have owned in the past.... But I think you will agree, not bad.

I am no longer Moparless.!

Jeff, Ontario, Canada.

Most of my pics are too big." I am on mi ipad at the mo. So will upload next time I am by the computer.

This is a pic of how I am going to paint it. I am a custom painter and airbrush artist. So this will be an easy job for me......

Good trading, patience pays off. Looks like a good base to start. What drivetrain does it have. Good luck with build.

 

[jeff66]

It is a real plain Jane low spec car.... /6. No power anything.......
As for the build, think it will have to wait until work allows.... But the paint, I can start on come spring..... I do have a 360 BBL in the garage, as well as a high spec fuel system and nitrous kit....... But also like some of these /6 turbo cars I an seeing on the Internet....
