If Colin has taught me anything, its that big blocks are gay. Turbo'd slant six A-body is where its at!!

Real power isn't for everyone.

i see people build those all day, run high 12s/low 13s, and get 20+ mpg.

want.

I don't want a numbers matching car.

Too much money and 0 fun.

I want something I can hot rod.

I'll try to get some shots of the 'Runner over to you. It would seem to fit your criteria, although I will tell you now its awful rough.

Yes, indeed, kids, I did buy a 13 acre property that had a few things laying around on it that have sat in the woods untouched for 10+ years..they would include:
1-1988 f150 4x4, 5.0/auto...should be up and running soon.
2-old backhoe...beat to hell and probably only good for scrap at this point
3-4wheel tire loader...might run but looks hacked, I havent messed with it yet.
4-old and beat 20ft rv...already chopped to pieces and scrapped, thank you sawzall!
5-1969 Camaro..I6/auto, body rough as hell and missing interior, but hey, the keys are in it.
6-1964 Chevy Impala..283/auto, complete, straight body..rusty but all there (2dr hardtop)
7-1970 Roadrunner..383/auto, airgrabber hood, again, complete but rusty (arent they all?)

theres other random things on the lot, but I wont even try to sketch them all out here...just know that there is more than enough room for a house and detached garage and a little personal wheeling trail here, for sure. And yes, I will be looking to sell all the cars previously listed, and also the 5-lug D60 thats under the trashed 78 Ford E250 there once I get that cut apart...
....Your heads spinning yet? Ours were when I closed on it for 65k..arty:

NICE! Can't wait to see building progress!

I think you should try and get the backhoe working if only to see if it can be done.

 

[chedisme]

awesome rich!

 

[foxwar71]

GET ME PICS OF THE ROADRUNNER!!!!

 

[MoparManiac]

Get in line

 

[chedisme]

I want pics of it all!!!

Cheap E-body...? Unless it is a complete POS, Colin they are never 'cheap'....

You are better off with an A-body, more likely 70-75 as they are more readily available and parts are easy now with BEA and others....

There is no numbers matching vehicles with 383' that are really worth leaving them as numbers matching... Needs to a V code, or mod top, or rare color combo with 4 spd and either performance 340, 440 or hemi......

Stick to your jeeps , peeps. LOL

;P

 

[MoparManiac]

Rick is a webdriver.

Similar to webwheeler except with cars.

 

[MoparManiac]

Oh and I'd consider $10k for a basically rust-free 71 cuda body "cheap" for a mopar.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1971...EMI-70-72-73-74-/300867843234?forcev4exp=true

Especially considering he basically has the entire shell.

 

[1968 Charger B5]

Wheres Begster or Jeff...? This is opportunity to say Colin is a 'know-it-all'
:worship:


Webdriver...? I prob have driven my mopars more than most combined... Better off finding a pos shell for 2-4g and buying all new metal from AMD for 5g.
That shell that will guaranteed need new metal even though it is 'rust-free'... Might as well give it new metal everywhere. Needs rear panel, trunk floor fenders are boooofed, thought this was rust-free...? Oh wait no such thing really...

 

[MoparManiac]

That's the difference.

I don't need it to be "perfect" to drive it and enjoy it.

Just like my MJ. It's hacked together. But I enjoy it.

 

[1968 Charger B5]

Perfect is in the eye of the beholder....my perfect is diff than yours

 

[1968 Charger B5]

Happy belated btw...I sent a text last week tho.
