Stop in for a cup of coffee

I got a little work for Hoppy. 67 has an aftermarket distributor and Chrysler electric ignition.
I found the original distributor the previous owner included with the car last night.
After talking with Ray, going to fire it off to him for some Hoppy magic work.

It’ll come back better than ever.


So remember how we were talking about E bodies and cost? there’s guy down the highway from me with a wrecked 73 Cuda 340 car sitting in the woods. I’ve seen it before. Owner has finally warmed up to me and thru family, contacted me last night wondering if I wanted to buy it. Now this thing is very very very can I say it again, VERY rough. But I’m gonna at least go entertain it. Dudes son got killed in different car crash back in the early 90s then his daughter wrecked the cuda a few days later. Been sitting since.

Actually just found my project for the day which will suck. Coal stove really needs a cleaning not putting the heat out like it should. PIA have to basically take it apart to do it!

I like that. Chris you could pay for your other projects if you can get it at the right price.
Or does the family think you're going to restore it??

 

[halifaxhops]

I know it. Been dropping temp for a week in here. Needs it badly, think all the blower squirrel cages are dusty.

 

[halifaxhops]

Hell the motor is at least a grand. Buckets trashed are 500...……...

 

[halifaxhops]

You would be amazed at what sells. Hell I am still selling stuff off of the cuda that I thought was junk, Just cut out a door pillar a few weeks ago from it. This one will be like the Belve. Every nut, bolt clip will get taken off before it goes to scrap.

If there’s even anything left of it. Last time I looked at it was 2-3 years ago. It’d been hit in every corner and rolled. I’m not even really interested in it due to just how bad it is.

 

[halifaxhops]

If it has a interior and a engine worth at leas 3K in parts. Talking about a trashed interior. Lots of cash just in the dash.

Right now, he’s wanting to see if i want it. He lives just in the edge of a township that just had a junk car law go into effect and they sent him a 90 day notice to get rid of it before they tow it off his own property

 

[halifaxhops]

Might have a trak lock also.

Offer 200 and towed and see what happens?

Ray I've looked and can't find one. Since you are the search expert see if you can find one when you have time. 67 MOPAR headlight adjustment kit or what ever it was. Couple springs with four bolts and plastic ends...whatever their called. Found one for 69-71.

 

[halifaxhops]

That should be easy. Break yours? They are brittle as hell if original.

No took it apart yesterday one spring was broke the other was close. Defiantly original stuff.

 

[halifaxhops]

Let me look quick usually you have to buy the adjusters and springs separately.

You know I search and don't find squat. I go back later same words and stuff pops up. Shaking my head...thanks!!

 

[halifaxhops]

I just searched 67 barracuda headlight adjuster a bunch came up. Actually surprised they come as a set. Had to piece meal it together for the truck

Good morning, not a fan of E-bodies. Dad got rid of his '67 notch 273 commando because it was too racy, for a used '70 Barracuda 318 column shift. Medium green with white vinyl. Where do I start...door panels disintegrated, it had a whistle going down the road, seating position so low, visibility not good, a/c dripped inside, the car was literally slapped together.

Headed to Dr. appointment finally, it's around 50 deg and calm so maybe check out downtown Charleston, always interesting to see the history.

That's awsome!

Probably similar to the stuff people were using on race tires a few years back, but more volatile and faster acting. IIRC Formula V was the name.

Some people...

He made quite the stir for one day. Folks like him just aren't my cup of tea.
