That different, funky and very cool! It looks to be really solid. I bet driving on the right side of the car will take a bit of getting used to. Does it run? Is it a 4 cyl? Can a small block fit in there? I would find some really old Cragar or Slot mags to go on there.

yeah , its very solid for sitting in a field for 32 years . it has a non running 6 cylinder in it with a push button automatic . i am pulling a 360 / 727 out of an rv to put in it . i'm going to try to get use to it before pulling a my car hauler , i don't want to run over anybody :D
 
That looks like a way cool project, what are your plans for it?

nothing fancy . i want to make a cruiser and just enjoy having something different for a change . i believe the 360 is going to be nice in there , but the 4;78 gear ratio has got to go .
 
72 Duster 4 spd ride: 408 Stroker, plenty of speedy stuff inside - dyno'd @ 548 hp & 574 tq.... which was a bit more than I wanted... but who's complaining. Still not finished (Viper metalic blue still needs cut & buff, rear end rebuild, move springs, install the 15x9 slotted rims, P275/50R15 MT ET Street radials... few other tid-bits. Currently has ZERO traction if the end carbs even whisper a hello... so I haven't had a chance to scare the wife... But it makes for a good ride to the local DQ for a cone. She has 3.23s out back and with that kinda tq I think I'll keep'm. Anyway... ain't these things just a hoot!

First picture is my 1967 Barracuda with a 340. I have had this car since 1988 (note the Ct. emissions exempt sticker on the windshield), and this is the only photo angle which looks half way decent! It needs a discouraging amount of work (really only two things - time and money). The second picture is my 1999 Dodge Ram, bought new, and is used for only local runs now a days.

Start with the 1961 Chrysler Newport

All stock except for the front end being lowered and the set of Coy wheels I put on. I bought the car from the second owner who had the car since 1966. The engine is a B block 361 with a two barrel. I have a 413 and a set of long ram manifolds for an engine upgrade in the future. For now, we just cruise and enjoy the fins. I get lots of "Hey Batman where's Robin? " comments.

I found out after I bought the car that it is somewhat rare. According to what I have found on the net, 2135 covertibles were built in 1961. Supposedly only 50 are currently accounted for. I don't baby the car though. I bought it to drive and have fun with.

Next the 71 Dodge Charger R/T Tribute

This car is my street bruiser. It has a rebuilt 440 with Edelbrock RPM heads, intake, and 850 carb. It breaths thru a set of headers into a 3 inch exhaust and a set of 40 series flowmaster mufflers. It sounds very nice! We estimate is making around 450 HP. This past winter I replaced the 727 with a TkO 600 manual 5 speed. I finally have the Mopar with a stick shift that have always dreamed about.

This is a car that was built as a father son project. The father had owned a brand new 71 RT back in the day and wanted another 71 RT again. So, not wanting to pay for an RT, they bought a charger SE out of North Florida, and did a complete frame off restoration. They rebuilt almost everything using new RT parts. The gill doors where too expensive so they left them off the list of parts (damn it). Just before the car was complete, the Dad unexpectedly died. So I bought the car from the son.

It is brutally raw on the street. I just love it. It is a muscle car in every way - sight, sound, smell, and feel.

Third, my 1967 Plymouth Barracuda Drag Car

I have always loved 2nd Generation fastback Cudas! I looked for three years studing the market to buy one. I wanted to go drag racing, and wanted a 2nd gen Cuda. I bought this car from the Technical Editor of Mopar Muscle magazine, Dave Young. Dave built the car as a project for the magazine back in 2006/2007. The project premise was that you could still build a fast, reliable, and consistant drag car for less than $10K if you were willing to do most of the work yourself. The car was called the B3 (Barracuda, Bracket Racer, Budget). After it was completed he taught his wife to drag race in it (and she won many races in it).

The original car had a 451 cubic inch 400 motor in it. After a couple years racing it, Dave replaced it with the 500 cubic in 440 it has in it now. He also upgraded the brakes, tube K member front end, added Caltrac mon spring & traction bars, and MSD 7 system with a pro cube. He also put a NOS system on but it has never been used. The motor makes over 750 hp, the car weighs 2850 without driver, and should get deep in the 9's once I get my NHRA

And finally, my Mopar trucks

My fifth red RAM 1500 - a 2010 Hemi Sport. My I love this truck! More Hemi power than my 2005, better ride, kick *** stereo, and an interior that my Ford and GM truck owners get in and say Wow is it beautiful!

I use it to pull my snowmobile and car trailers. I also use it on my farm and pull grain wagons with it. I also haul a lot of stuff in the bad boy.

My wife has a Grand Cherokee Jeep. This also is a very nice machine. It has all the bells and whistles. She is very happy with it - And yes it has a hemi in it!
