That is my perfect car... at least looks-wise.

Your dad is BA.

I missed this thread the first time 'round.. Nice car, that burgundy is a beautiful color. As much as I like the idea of an '80 300 creation, the way your car sits now is a tough combo to beat.@johnnyride ...seems like were still waiting on some pics w the new interior :)

I missed my opportunity to get pics today, just got busy w other stuff. I'll try again tomorrow.

I'm not excited about it, but I'm placing my 1979 Lebaron on the block... Typical in equipment, but somewhat atypical with regard to mileage and condition as far as I know, it's got 79,3XX original miles and it shows. 318/904, 7.25" rear. This is a good, quality, driver-condition car and all...

I was learning some interesting stuff in the thread's original topic, but the drift holds my interest too. My Ram 1500 is an '02, the 4.7l V8 is pre-hemi era and there ain't nuthin' you can feasibly do to that little 4.7 to make it happy about hauling around a 5000# truck. Find a wrecked 5.9...

In the original ad he shows pics of the parts he'll be using and mentions that he has started a 4sp conversion... It makes sense that it's the same car, albeit w a 4sp now. Makes 0 sense why he would try to pass it off as original.

I hope you dont have to part it out. But if you do, you've got a buyer for the rear quarter glass and all the associated trim.

It's a 4-sp? Where is it located?

Do you and your son have any interest in a clean M body? It's a 79, 318, A904 auto daily driver... I drive it to work regularly when theres no snow. Rust-free west coast car. PM me if you think you may want it.

First, I think the stripp-o gold car looks killer. The cop wheels, color combo, over all condition... bitchin'. It's the direction I want to take my '79 Lebaron coupe but I'm having a harder time trying to figure out an elegant way to dress it down than l ever thought l would have. What is AHB?

I'm jumping in here because I'm a truck driver and have worked in freight delivery... not because anybody asked for my input. Smart move. Most freight companies add a liftgate charge, that's for pickup AND delivery. Also a smart move. When I drove for Yellow and USF Reddaway I had to refuse...

I have a similar truck, 93 F150 regular cab, short bed, 2wd, 300 l6, 5-sp. It was my daily driver up until I bought my Ram last year. Getting ahold of a Mustang GT parts car seems to be the most cost-effective way of getting toward Lightning greatness. I personally like the turbo or...

In the 80s, as a young Marine, I got stationed in Bremerton (Washington state) for a short time. "What's it like?" "It rains all the time but it never snows", I was told. Got there during one of the hottest summers on record (regular high 90s-100+), then and 30+ inches of snow before...

Does the molding and trim from a 77-79 M body fit the later models? Slightly off topic, but might be useful information...

Not offensive or taken personally, and you're right, those clickbait sites can play hell w your computer... I generally avoid them too. Besides loading up your device with trash, they're tedious and universally disappointing. I listen to Breitbart News on Sirius/XM (satellite) but I won't go...

I've got access to a derelict Ramcharger that I'll be stripping the 360/727 out of. I was considering just spending the dough to have the 9.25 rear cut down but the chart reminded me that the trucks use a 5x5.5" bp... back to confusing charts with numbers and stuff

This was one page, but point taken.

No One Is Getting a Perfect Score on This '70s Cars Quiz and It's Driving the Internet Crazy 39 out of 40! I thought the Holden was a Mazda... the grille/headlight arrangement looks a lot like an old 626. Zoom Zoom... yeah, not so much.

Just about an hour ago as I was walking to my truck I saw a line of little SUVs in the parking lot. My first thought was that it was half a dozen company reps or maybe magazine writers doing some promotional stuff or maybe site/location scouting for an ad (eastern face of the Cascades is...

I'm 100% with you on that. Fast for cheap is great and a fun goal, but as we've seen from numerous builds over the years "low buck" ain't exactly what it used to be... it's pretty easy to get 7-9 thousand into an engine combo even when using junkyard and second-hand parts. I've got a friend...

On the boosted pull (second one) I thought they were gonna hang the left front wheel. Might be time for Brian to investigate subframe connectors.

Wouldn't it be easier to use taller pistons? If you mill the heads you'll need to do the intake too. That assumes higher CR pistons are available...

Hmmmm... this may be why I could never get the TV adjusted properly on my 76 Cordoba after I went to a 4bbl. I made an adapter to get the throttle cable long enough, but never modified the TV rod. Any specifics on the mods necessary to get the right length? Best place to cut and add length? I...

I considered a similar swap briefly when my buddy decided to call it quits w the tri-power 389 in his '62 Catalina convertible and swap in an LS... easier to tune to make power and a dam sight less fussy than the 3x2 setup. After about 5 min (as I said... "briefly") I decided it was almost...
