Alrighty then...my name is Doug Farrell and live I live in Torrance, CA(SoCal).
Just jumped back into Mopar world after 12 years. Seems I lost a bunch a brain cells since that time so I will have a lot of questions. Oh...an A body was the only option for me. I've owned the following Mopars since 1976:
1971 Challenger R/T 340 727
1970 Dart Swinger 340 727(fast)
1970 Challenger T/A 4sp
1969 Roadrunner 383 4sp
1968 Dart GTS 383 4sp(this one makes me sick just thinking about it)
1970 Cuda 340 727(last car..sold it in '96)
All my cars were really nice. The GTS was the rarest..but my 340 Swinger would whup it every time.
I just picked up a total numbers matching 1969 Dart Custom with 44,000 original miles from an old couple from Florida with the intention of building a sleeper. It sat for the last 9 years as the owners were unable to drive anymore.
It truly is a museum piece and after getting it to run perfect it is a gas to drive. Its got the 318/905 column shift. Its Tiel with a white vinyl top, white interior and working AC.
But I have a 69 date code 340(70 model year) that will be built and installed to give it the kick it sorely needs. Also have an A body 8-3/4 sitting in the garage as well.
OK...enough of my blabbering.
Cheers.
Doug
