    SOLD 82 Mirada

    OK, thanks. Also, it appears to have been repainted. What ignition and exhaust does it have? Do you know anything about the 360? It's probably a replacement engine because I don't believe '82 Miradas came with a 360. A picture of the engine stamping at the front of the block and of the data...

    Less Power Steering - how ?

    Try shimming the pressure relief valve spring in the pump. Look at Mopar Action's "Pump It Down" article by R. Ehrenberg.

    A Couple Transmission Questions

    Hey, you said you were very mechanically inclined. Don't be afraid of that tranny. I realize you already have it repaired and that is fine. But, in case you get in the position where you need to teardown and overhaul a Torqueflite... do it. You will need: A clean, I mean clean, workbench. A good...

    Mirada in the movies

    There is a new movie out: A Dog's Purpose. About 1/3 the way through the movie you can see a bright red Mirada parked at the curb. Black hood, twin scoops, black wing on the deck lid. Visible maybe 10 seconds. Interesting that when the producer wanted to depict early 1980's he chose a fairly...

    '81 Mirada rear disc brake conversion

    Your welcome. I made an error with the original post. The brakes came off a Jeep ZJ. Went to the local U-Pull salvage yard. There were 3 or 4 candidates there. Shouldn't be too hard to find one. If I can find the original article I'll post a link.

    '81 Mirada rear disc brake conversion

    In case someone is contemplating a rear disc conversion, thought I throw this out to y'all. Somewhere, FMJ maybe?, there was an article about rear disc brake conversion for the 8 1/4" rear axle. We converted to rear disc brakes on the '81 Mirada using the parts from a Jeep XJ. This was about 2...

    curious about the CMX roof band.......

    Thanks for the reply, Kostas. Are far as we know it's not a CMX car. It has other custom mods. I am into preserving MOPARS. Custom mess, not so much.

    curious about the CMX roof band.......

    Marko, since your question was answered, I hope you don't mind if I ask a question about those CMX tops on your thread. Since we are on that topic. What is underneath those CMX faux convertible tops? Could that top be removed and just have a standard hardtop? Is the C pillar glass still under...

    Mirada for parts in N. Carolina

    Just a heads up : I talked to Billy today, the owner of the Mirada. He has his own small, private salvage yard. He said that the Mirada has got to go... to the crusher, soon. 910-467-3920. I got a quote on some parts, very reasonable, but I cannot get down to Jacksonville. NC until the October...
