Worst part is a guy wants to trade me a really nice 76 TrailDuster that I used to own and regret selling. But I wouldn’t be able to keep the the TD either.. Otherwise bring a 318 and we’ll swap it in and you can drive her home. lol. Would be one heck of an adventure.

The car is unfortunately for sale. I really like it and want to return her to the road, but due to my current financial circumstances I don’t think I will be able to. Please view the listing in the For Sale section if interested or PM me. I would like to see it go to a fellow F body fan rather...

76 Aspen coupe. Ac, cruise, power steering, power breaks. 318 auto. Engine is bad. Have trim for the roof. C pillar is rusty on driver side. Top of both fenders have small holes. Lower quarters are bad. Structurally the car is solid. Firewall, floor, trunk pan, and floors are good. 750$ obo...

I’ve been away from my classic mopars for a while, sometimes life gets busy. I finally rigged up a fuel system to the car, I wanted to hear it run. Keep in mind I had only briefly heard it fire off once or twice. It started right up. I got to stick it into gear and see that the transmission has...

Notes taken: buy the brass one. Also, I found this key chain at a second hand store. Was worth the dollar.

That valve looks like it would disintegrate almost immediately. Hopefully I can clean up my old one.

Would saying its front disc, rear drum help narrow it down? It has the 10” drums.

So what is that “valve stem” for? The rest of it makes sense, but that one part doesn’t.

Guess I better start looking for a new one. Hopefully all the lines come loose from it easily, I had good luck with all the other lines. But I have a feeling I’ll get to the last one and my luck will run out.

This thread will be for me to document progress I make at putting my Aspen back on the road after sitting since 1994. For those of you who didn’t see my Aspen when I joined the board let me catch you up to speed. 76 Aspen Custom Coupe. Power steering, power brake, cruise, ac, fender turn...

The 76 aspen coupe I've talked about on here, much like every F-body, has rust. The critical parts on my coupe are solid. I need to fix my rust hole in my c pillar, do a few patches in the lower quarters, dog leg on my driver fender, tops of both fenders. I have a pretty good plan in place and...

The pulley turns smoothly, so I guess I could leave it in place. I was hoping it would be easy to remove that big bulky compressor out of the way. If I leave it, I can always track down a good compressor and use up my R12 I have.

Looking for some insight on how I can route some belts. My Aspen is a factory AC car, but compressor is junk, pulpy turns, clutch doesn’t. Do I have to run the compressor just to have the belts fit? I have a different 318 core engine that runs a belt for the water pump and alternator only. I...

The carpet is very discolored and stained. I intend to replace it. In my experience, you can’t get the rat dripping smell out of it, unless there is some trick I don’t know.

Was able to mess around with it a bit today. Peeled all the vinyl off, discovered the roof is solid except for the one hole I already knew about. Also heard it run for more than just a few seconds, just filled the bowl with fuel and got it to light off. Definitely needs a tune up, runs on maybe...

I live near the Watertown area, so northeast part of the state, but am near the Sioux Falls area often. Also attached are pics of the wagon I’m trying to buy.

I found out why she was parked in 94. I found some old papers in the car, and one was a sheet from a fellow who had it at an auction. He sold it last summer, but prior to selling it he had owned it since 95. The story he told me was that the last guy who owned it and drove it, was having an...

I’ve used that product before. I had a 78 Caprice landau, went through the same issue I’m facing now. It has held up great. It’s all about the prep work when using that type of stuff.

She loves to learn about it. She has gotten to the point of being able to rebuild small engines by herself. She helped greatly with my last slant 6 I did.

I’m gonna have a lot of fun. Always been around mopars. I misse the c bodies we had when I was a kid.. I really wish we kept the 68 Newport. But it’s my new project. I’m looking forward to seeing it on the road again. The tags on it are from 1994, so gonna go through it mechanically and then...

I don’t think it needs much. It is very complete. Rust fixing ain’t hard to do. And then I think if I put some time into it it could be a great cruiser. I feel like the right set of wheels on it would greatly encourage me. I’m thinking some keystone classics. And since I’m have to repaint part...

Definitely less than a Cuda! My real issue is that I don’t have a lot of parts that fit this thing. I primarily focus on the pickups, and more specifically the 72-93 style. Here is my favorite unit I have, my 83 d150 with a slant 6 and 3 speed manual. I built it with my dad when I was 14.

Im in South Dakota, so I understand where you are coming from about rust.

This is my new to me 76 Aspen. Traded some 72-93 dodge truck sheet metal for it. It is a 318 auto. Power steering & brakes, cruise, and a/c. It does run, but haven’t had a break from the nonstop rain lately to get it up on 4 good tires to try and move it. It is stupidly solid on the underside...
