This car was sold many years ago to somebody in Wisconsin. I now am retired and living in Florida.

I have one I can postup once I get home from work... fairly original except battery and maybe A/C has a few different routings.           :cheers:

Yes, 68 BB engines are blue. In 69 they were orange.

Yes, 68 BB engines are blue. In 69 they were orange.

Non HP 383s were blue in 69.

Not 68-70 Charger but an idea.

I feel the Mopar aluminum valve cover is played out so I switched it up with these aluminum ones.  Painted the motor, replaced a bunch of trinket stuff.
Little bit of stock, little bit of aftermarket.

Nice shots guys.  I guess it's just me but when it comes time for my car to get painted there I want the engine bay black...

I would also like to know more about this question. The reason is that I have a NOS master cylinder sitting on my parts shelf.  It has a part number on the box that is says that it is for a 71-72 A-body. The brake lines connect on the engine side of it.  I have often wondered if it might be for a right hand drive car or something. :shruggy:

took these yesterday ,

eagle eyes will notice plastic cable ties on a 1/4" copper pipe running along side the fuel line  , yeah i know its not the safest looking set up , its  temporary  !! been running an  experiment  for a while ,  made the second fuel feed on the thunder a  metered  return fuel line back to the tank , so cooler fuel constantly flows through the carb ,
got a new cam to try , so will bend up  1/4 steel fuel line & use S shaped clips then  :yesnod: easier when the carb & intake are off on the work bench  , should i decide to run that sort of return  :scratchchin:
