My last one i would ever do was 20 years or so ago and here i am... 10 years ago i sold a Dana 60 for early b-body, 440 disassembled and a 727 for $800 to get em out of my garage... yeah.... all **** i could use now
Then there are the trailer queen cars. I could never own one.

Nope.. i'm not even painting mine... original paint is still doing ok. If i get a nick or scratch.. shrug.
There is some cool stuff stashed away around here 66 Charger 440 original owner, 71 charger six pack 62K on it he drives it on occasion all stock. Tons of other makes also around.
Yep I have one shiny one and one not shiny.I like to lean up against my 66 at car shows with a beer in my hand. "I bet you can't do this with yours" !!!

Really like those rims.. still trying to figure out what to put on my car.. i want just 15" steelies but some aftermarket alum cost less.. just not a lot that looks good on a 62 for the street.. a set of draglites would be cheesy and feel like the 90's again
I have always like those Halibrand look alikes. Early to mid 60's period correct.Really like those rims.. still trying to figure out what to put on my car.. i want just 15" steelies but some aftermarket alum cost less.. just not a lot that looks good on a 62 for the street.. a set of draglites would be cheesy and feel like the 90's again

We all know why you lean against your car holding a beer!

Saw a COPO Chevelle when I was with my brother at a Chevelle show. Guy uses a winch to roll it off the trailer and pushes it into place to avoid adding any miles. One of 66 in existence. He keeps the data plate and VIN covered at the shows.

Yup, my FFR cobra had halibrand copies on them, can't go wrong. Different style though..
I deal with a few trailer queens. One guy I rebuilt say a year ago and he calls me looking for a set of points. I ask why he said he changes them every year. How many miles you put on it a year? Maybe 2 in and out of the trailer! Seriously!
Oh the horror stories I can tell you. Some seriously expensive and stupid stuff.
Wow!
Speaking of points, getting organized I have found 12 ten boxes of NOS mopar single points. Thought I only had 4 or so.

You did a fine job on my 29 point Dizzy
Have to love the slummers, slummer lives matter also!
No spreadsheet inventory?
Hell no I can barely keep up with this crap now. Unbelievable the amount of points and cond I have around. Forgot about a bunch of extras I have in boxes.
I did write down the mopar nos vac advance I have. Holy crap I was buying them when I saw them for years, prob two large totes of them in boxes.
I think I went a bit to far on the early advance plates though over 100 of them NOS. Usually, I can make them work like new.
I will be bringing around ten of the "MADE IN THE USA" tan dual point caps give them a hour at the show and they will be gone. Thats just ones I will sell outright.
I have a bunch of DP distributors this year alot of 340 for some reason. Need some RB they kind of dried up out there.
