1983 Dodge Mirada **** $1900. -- let's talk, FMJ friends! **** **** NEAR MILWAUKEE WISCONSIN **** Almost completely rust free, solid solid solid, Texas car. Clean title in my name. ROLLER, no engine, trans, driveshaft. - Imperial snowflake 15x7 wheels, 8.25” rear, 318 car, fiberglass front...

On Aspen front suspension... Yes, I have the Factory Service Manual. No, what it's saying doesn't make any sense to me. They reference 3 factory tool numbers but don't show them, so I can't even improvise replacements or exactly how they would be used. What I'm referring to is how the pivot...

From Southern Motorsport Hobbies. Just saw this today. http://stores.smhracing.com/81-imperial-nascar/ A little pricey, but this would look good next to my Mirada (non-NASCAR) resin kit when it's done.

I just watched the movie Brick Mansions. There's an Imperial in a few of the chase scenes. Somehow keeping up with the Mustang GT lol. The movie wasn't too bad. Some good Parkour scenes with David Belle (one of the founders of Parkour), which I love watching. This was Paul Walker's last full...

I was walking up to a McDonald's this morning, when two kids maybe 14-15 years old were walking out carrying skateboards. The kids were well away from the building, already rolling across the parking lot on their skateboards. This elderly lady and her husband (I'm assuming) were approaching the...

I know it's a long shot that anyone will want this that is actually near me, but here goes anyway, because I have too much stuff in my way. No shipping. Period. Northern suburbs of Milwaukee, WI. Stock gas tank out of my '83 Mirada, sending unit still in place, with mounting straps. I think...

Not perfect, but very very nice set of cop caps. I just rinsed them off for the pics, that's it. The vast majority of what you see is just dirt. The dark marks are mud that will come off with a little scrubbing. I took detail pics of the only areas I would consider to be notable... the one...

OK, I give up trying to use this custom tubular mount trans crossbrace. It either puts it way too far back, or way too far forward, no matter how I position it. My goal was to get the engine/trans in the car by Tuesday (my last day off of work), but that's not going to happen. Will have to do...

I'm finally working full speed ahead on the Mirada. Got the 727 transmission roughed into place, but now I'm second guessing myself because I don't want to do this twice... thing is heavy especially since I'm working alone! I'm using a custom tubular trans crossbrace (with a stock mount)...

To be used in a Mirada with 727, but I think any FMJ will work? I admit this is something I don't know much about, but reading the B&M shifter manual, it looks like it just relies on the stock setup. I think this is <finally> the last part I will need to get the car running! :)

The kid that was trying to put a big block in my Mirada put a brand new power steering gear in it, then apparently realized that the pressure hose was going to run smack straight into his unnecessary custom big block mounts (that I'm going to cut out), so removed the pressure hose plate thing...

I had an info seeking thread about this at: http://www.forfmjbodiesonly.com/classicmopar/showthread.php?2632-Stuck-on-how-to-convert-to-manual-brakes-on-Mirada&p=22306#post22306 but now I'll post up an official wanted thread. Looking for a manual brake firewall bracket, should be found on...

I'm converting the '83 Mirada to manual brakes. I'm picking up the A-1 CARDONE Part # 10-1821 manual brake master cylinder (unless someone else has a better idea), an adjustable pushrod (unless someone has a factory one), so I think the only other thing I'll need (other than adjustable prop...

The door top weatherstrip stuff (whatever it's called) on my car is dry and cracked, and at least halfway completely gone. I've noticed a lot of other J-body (and probably F/M) cars have the same affliction. I found these at dk hardware that look like they could be made to work... definitely...

The below pictured piece was behind the brake booster in my '83 Mirada, above where the brake pedal is. I'm making an assumption that this is part of the brake pedal linkage, since that's where I found it. If that is the case, then... ... I need the pins or whatever it is that holds this...

My Mirada has a Go Wing, which I don't especially care for. I would rather have something sort of like the ones on the Aspen R/T for example, or a small straighter one like you'd see on a stock car. Like the one below on the Hot Wheels Mirada for example :) Anyone know if one is made that...

OK, so here is the Mirada I picked up last weekend. I have a '72 Dart Swinger /6 and a '68 GTS project, but I have been wanting something to "just mess with". I'd been looking at things like later Dart Sports and had been keeping my eyes open for an Aspen/Volare or a b-body Cordoba, or maybe...

Hello, I picked up an '83 Mirada project car today. I need a complete engine bay/front lights wiring harness, the whole thing, from the firewall box back. Anyone got a usable one from a parts car? Not sure if all FMJ harnesses are the same or not, but it seems like they'd be close enough...

The crossmember or whatever it's called. I'm going to order a new polyurethane mount, but need the actual bracket. If it matters (not sure), it's for an '83 Mirada and it will be getting a small block 727. Yeah, there's an "announcement" coming on a new ride soon LOL I'm also going to...

Hi all, It looks like I could become the proud new owner of an '83 Mirada (and if so, I would be hanging out here a whole lot more often!) Situation is that the car has no engine/trans. It was a 318 car, but the engine mount ears have been cut off the K in prep for a big block swap, and...

Not mine, I haven't called, I'm going to hold out for something different, but wanted to post this here in case anyone's interested. Love to see cars like this go to a good Mopar/collector home instead of just maybe to some random person who will run it into the ground...

Anyone? Post up the pics! Or even pictures of any others! (I saw a couple old threads that bremereric posted). I remember back when the town I lived in was auctioning or selling a bunch of retired ones. They were light metallic blue, and they painted over and/or removed all the graphics and...
