Just struck a deal to buy another Mopar

[Ghost]

70 Plymouth Suburban.  383-2v.  Will become my new daily driver, and the long restoration on the Barracuda will finally begin.

[MOPAR FANATIC]

  just learned another one,[plymouth suburban] that is.looks to be in great shape and just the way she sits it would look like it should just float down the road.NICE FIND.Plan on driving it the way it is or any minor cosmetics coming up?heck a wash and wax and your on your way.

Just wash it, do a little work to the front suspension, and then pretty much drive it.

The '63 looks even more interesting!  What kind of shape was it in?

[Ghost]

The 63 isn't for sale as far as I know, but it was in decent shape.

New pics.









Started it up this afternoon.  Idles fine, shifts just fine, but there's a small problem with the distributor, most likely from sitting for so long.  Nothing major.  Gotta wait on my investment fund to get the rest of the money, but I should have the title in my name by the end of the week.

Good news, and pain-in-the-ass news.

Good news first.


The last document I needed to get her titled FINALLY came, so she is officially mine in the eyes of the government now, and is legal to drive on the road.


Pain-in-the-ass news:

The vacuum advance wasn't working right, so I bought a new distributor.  $60 bucks.  Today, I finally had both the time and nice weather, so I tried to swap it in.  However, the new one won't work.  Why, you ask?  Because the old distributor had the standard points, BUT, also had an electronic vacuum advance, which the new, $60 dollar distributor did not have.  So, I'm just gonna spend $200, and get the electronic ignition conversion kit.

Also, when I returned the new distributor, they only refunded me $10, so basically I flushed 50 bucks down the ****ter.

For some reason I love the dent/hole in the grill. It looks like some old school gangster talking out the side of their mouth. "The jig is up s-eee." Looks like a cigar should be hanging out there.
