    Cool B Body
    « on: February 21, 2014 - 11:33:00 PM »
    While I was heding back from a jobsite in Nipton CA, I stoped in Baker CA to fuel up, as I pulled in I spotted this cool RR siting in the parking lot.  It started running hot as he was heading towards LA, he was coming from Washinton.  Lots of mods on this one, so I thought I would share with my other MOPAR brothers,



    Running on a Fat Man Chassis he said.  :woo:



    440 4 barrel....look at that smooth fire wall.  :droolingbounce:



    I have never seen a shifter like this on a 727......he said it was a Hurst....any ever own one?

    Nice guy, too bad his road trip ended on a trailer.  :sadwavey:  :walkaway:

    I like it but would have preferred the original dash, but that's just me?  The shifter looks like the one in a 80 something Olds . Hurst lightening rod shifter in a Hurst Olds 1983 I think it was?
