Moparstuart's Daytona clone project

What about the 70 Sat. Covert. of yours. Any plans on getting it running.

nope

[moparstuart]

So, what's the battle plan for your next winged wonder when the economy allows?

no money so no plan  but to just keep collecting parts as time and the little bits of money here and there allow

That's a sound plan, Stu.  Keep at it and soon enough...

I have one winged wonder that will have to satisfy me for now

 I just happen to stumble on to this post and boy I do have mixed emotions! While it was never done, I really loved driving her. Best driving Mopar I ever had.

There was a lot of love and time spent on that old Rusted / Trash Charger, that how I happen to use the R/T emblems. Only thing that did not rust was the window glass!

A guy I knew named Dallas called me one day at work one day 28 years ago and said "Hey, you will not believe what we are getting ready to crush! 69 Charger!". I ran down to the scrap yard to take a look.

My god, what a rusted POS she was, but she had 2 things going for her.

1 She was complete! Besides the rusted sheet metal that is. Road wheels, with all the trim rings, lug nuts and center caps, AM / FM Radio with Fad and re verb. Heck it still had the jack, all its parts and its original factory spare tire!

2 She had a 383, I love big blocks!

So I bought the car for $500.00. Later I sold the radio for $600.00.

Here what I dragged home.

The good quarter?

Left front fender. Top of the fenders had rust hole so big, you could drop small children though them!

Believe or not, I bought the Charger for my then 15 year daughter for her first car!   She goofed around and did not get her license till she was 18?   By then I had the Charger looking real good (Plum Crazy) by then so when she asked for the Keys, I told her tough. Bought her a Road Runner instead, and boy that Road Runner hated her!  

Stuart, did you ever get to drive her? I used to travel when I was a area supervisor and the Charger was my daily driver. Bet I put 70,000 miles on her. You get her on a interstate with the 2:76 sure grip, man she would haul!

One day driving to Evansville Ind I looked in the rear view mirror and saw a Tornado heading toward me! Everybody was pulling off the road and heading for shelter! I pulled the Charger down to second and dropped the hammer hit third and cruised at 120 MPH. Old BB was just humming along. Tornado's can't go that fast, well this one couldn't!

I all wise wonder what it would be like driving her on the autobahn would be like? Well at less she will know.

Missing her, Cuda Ken
