New Mopar to the flock
« on: February 05, 2011 - 01:58:11 PM »
I just bought a 72 Charger yesterday, so I have yet another Mopar to add to the inventory. I'm planning on painting it GoMango with black details, same as the 06. There are a few bits that are going to be moving over to the Cuda, such as the seatbelt clips for over the door, the original jack and spare and a few other bits and pieces that caught my eye. It was something of a 'cars in barns' type find. It's sitting in a metal shop being guarded by a nasty looking teddy bear like dog. The paint and interior are original, with only a little body work on the passenger side where it has a crease running from the front fender to the rear quarter. It's a 318 auto with 8 3/4 rear end, but I don't think it's anything special. I'll post pics when I remember to get some. It completely skipped my mind yesterday
1972 Cuda 340 4 barrel 4 speed that looks like a 71
2006 Dodge Charger R/T Daytona
2005 Dodge Ram 2500 Diesel 4X4
2006 Chrysler PT Cruiser Convertible (Kidmobile)
1972 Dodge Charger 318 auto
1970 Challenger 440/727 auto
1973 Plymouth Duster 340/auto (Making it Panther Pink for the wife)
2006 Honda Civic Hybrid (It doesn't save gas, it just diverts it to the Cuda/Challenger)
In desperate need of more property for my growing Mopar family

Here are a few pics of the Charger as it sits. It will be coming home in the next week or two so I can start playing.

I didn't realize it had heater delete. I thought it just had the heater removed by the owner like most of the old stuff down here. I didn't really like that body style of Chargers, but it's starting to grow on me. The plan was to do as little bodywork as possible, throw a coat of GoMango on it and sell it. I think I might just keep it when I'm finished.
